Thank you, United Kingdom, for this refreshing announcement during #COP16Resumed. National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans are the vehicle of implementation of the Global Biodiversity Framework #KMGBF. I urge other Parties to follow suit with the required urgency.

The #COP16Resumed agenda is not about agreeing on fresh commitments. It is about agreeing on how commitments made two years ago on the Global Biodiversity Framework #KMGBF will be implemented for #PeaceWithNature. 🔗My opening speech: www.cbd.int/doc/speech/2... 📷ENB/IISD Mike Muzurakis

The #CaliFund is up and running! For the first time since the inception of the Convention on Biological Diversity, a fund under COP will receive contributions from businesses: levies on income generated thanks to the use of digital information sequenced from nature. 🔗 www.cbd.int/article/cali...

Thank you Secretary-General António Guterres for your support to the Convention on Biological Diversity and the implementation of the Global Biodiversity Framework #KMGBF for #PeaceWithNature. Your message to #COP16Resumed set the right tone: 🔗 www.un.org/sg/en/conten...

Thank you @faodg.fao.org for your support to #COP16Resumed that starts on 25 Feb. at the @fao.org premises in Rome. As today's high-level FAO event confirmed, Fiat Panis and #PeaceWithNature go hand in hand. The implementation of the Global Biodiversity Framework #KMGBF will deliver for both.

Agriculture as we know it would collapse without healthy biodiversity. For people to be able to put food on the table, the world must turn the table on biodiversity loss. My intervention today at the @fao.org high-level event on the eve of #COP16Resumed in Rome: 📹 webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1j...

Agrifood systems are key to reversing biodiversity loss & ensuring food security. With links to over half of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework targets, they play a vital role in implementation. 📖 More in @FAO.org publication 🔗 https://buff.ly/3VKTDDv #COP16Resumed

Thank you, Andrea Porro, Secretary General of the World Farmers' Organization, for the support ahead of #COP16Resumed. Farmers are key to the transformation of agrifood systems for #PeaceWithNature. They are part of the whole-of-society implementation of the Global Biodiversity Framework #KMGBF.

Environmental multilateralism is sometimes messy. But even in complex geopolitical times, collaboration is our only option. We must work together to build a fairer, more sustainable planet. New @unep.org Annual Report looks at how UNEP is supporting faster progress: www.unep.org/annualreport...

Today I joined the Global Environment Facility and colleagues representing Multilateral Environmental Agreements for the opening of the 9th GEF Replenishment Technical Advisory Group Meetings. We will be discussing transformative change, synergy, coherence and inclusiveness for #PeaceWithNature.

Thank you, @srenvironment.bsky.social. Your cooperation with the Secretariat of the CBD is key because human rights must be at the centre of the endeavour for #PeaceWithNature. The Global Biodiversity Framework #KMGBF calls for a human rights-based approach to guide its implementation.

Disinformation and misinformation are impeding efforts to address the twin crises of biodiversity loss and climate change. Happy to join the #PeaceWithNature conversation on this platform and share updates on progress made under the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and its Protocols.
