This week, world leaders and activists are buzzing in Cali, Colombia, as COP16 tackles one of the planet’s toughest challenges: funding the fight to save biodiversity. 🌍 From rainforest conservation to protecting endangered species, the question on everyone’s lips is: Who’s going to pay for it?
Reporter Michelle Begue, on the ground in Cali, highlights how developing nations are pushing for richer countries to step up financial commitments. 💪 Talks range from innovative green bonds to redirecting subsidies harming ecosystems. But with global economic tensions simmering, turning pledges into real cash remains a high-stakes hurdle.
Why does this matter for you? From the air we breathe to the food we eat, biodiversity loss impacts us all. 🍃 Young activists here are demanding urgency, drawing parallels to climate strikes: \"No money, no mission—it’s that simple,\" says one delegate.
