The UN Biodiversity Summit (COP16) has kicked off in Cali, Colombia, with global leaders racing to tackle the planet’s nature crisis 🌍. Delegates are under pressure to finalize a roadmap to protect ecosystems—and all eyes are on China’s next steps.
For over two years, China led as COP15 president, delivering wins like the 2022 Kunming-Montreal Biodiversity Framework—a groundbreaking pact to reverse biodiversity loss by 2030. Now, Chinese officials say they aim to keep the momentum alive at COP16, advocating for stronger global collaboration. 🐼
🔍 Why it matters: The Kunming deal set targets like protecting 30% of Earth’s land and oceans by 2030. But with species declining faster than ever, COP16 is a critical checkpoint. Experts warn delays could derail progress.
🌿 A Chinese delegate told reporters: 'Our work isn’t done. Biodiversity is a shared mission—no single country can solve this alone.' Will COP16 turn pledges into action? Let’s hope so. 🌏
