The 16th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD COP 16) offered the first significant opportunity for Member States to take stock of progress made on the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) since its adoption in 2022. This High-Level Roundtable, organized by the EMG Secretariat, brought together Heads and Senior Officials of UN Agencies and Secretariats to explore opportunities and pathways for strengthening the collective response to address the triple planetary crisis of climate, biodiversity, and pollution.
