Monitor biodiversity for action
Andrew González, María Cecilia Londoño
Abstract
This week, Montreal, Canada, is at the epicenter of international negotiations for biodiversity. Thousands of people from around the world are attending the 15th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (COP15) to witness the negotiation of a new Global Biodiversity Framework. Its goals and targets replace the previous framework-the Aichi Biodiversity Targets-that failed to bring about the transformative change needed to reverse the alarming trends in biodiversity loss.
