As outlined in Section K of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, enhancing communication, education, and awareness about biodiversity is crucial for achieving the 2030 mission and realizing the 2050 vision. The Framework stresses the importance of understanding nature's vital contributions to humanity while advocating for rigorous conservation, sustainable use of biological resources, and equitable benefit sharing.
To support these goals, our teams will engage with stakeholders, participate in side events, and advocate for increased resource allocation for communication and mobilization during the Sixteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP16), taking place in Cali, Colombia, from October 21 to November 1, 2024.
We will also showcase the Biodiversity Collage tool in the Blue and Green Zone. This tool has trained over 60,000 people in more than 45 countries, helping all societal actors understand nature's contributions and the challenges posed by various direct and indirect drivers of erosion. By promoting a shared understanding of biodiversity, it empowers governments, businesses, and communities to reflect on and develop effective solutions.
To schedule a meeting with our team during COP16, please contact David Roy (david@ateliersbiodiversitequebec.org) or Géraldine Vuillier (geraldine@fresquedelabiodiversite.org).
