Ahead of the 16th Conference of Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP16), which runs from 21 October to 1 November in Cali, Colombia, Amnesty International is making a set of recommendations to the parties to the Convention. At COP15 held in Montreal, Canada in 2022, states adopted the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KM-GBF), a set of ambitious targets to strengthen the protection and promotion of biodiversity globally by 2030. That was a ground-breaking first step towards tackling the biodiversity crisis that has brought about the total or near extinction of countless species and threatens everyone’s human right to a clean,
healthy and sustainable environment.
