COP16 can be said to be the “first implemented COP.” It brings together a range of actors, from governments to indigenous communities, youth groups, businesses, financial institutions and non-state actors such as civil society, to share progress to date and consider plans for future contributions. It means becoming a COP. Implementing the Global Biodiversity Framework.
