At the 2024 global biodiversity summit (COP16), there are five key things countries must do to protect nature and halt rampant biodiversity loss.

  1. Deliver strong and equitable National Biodiversity Plans [at COP16]

  2. Mainstream nature in policies on food and water

  3. Provide more finance and incentives to support nature and biodiversity goals

  4. Recognize the land rights and the authority of Indigenous Peoples and other frontline communities

  5. Effectively measure and track progress toward global targets

    Love these ideas—especially recognizing the role of Indigenous peoples. They’re often the best stewards of biodiversity. Keeping nature at the heart of policies can help create a greener and more sustainable world, but it takes all of us to push for action and hold leaders accountable.
