How will COP16 ensure countries achieve the 23 targets of the "Global Biodiversity Framework"?
- Unlocking funding -The efforts of rich countries to finance those of the developing world will be central to debates in Cali.
Developed countries have committed to providing $20 billion per year for biodiversity by 2025 and $30 billion by 2030.
Developing countries will also revive their calls for creating an autonomous fund, which is a major point of contention for rich countries, which are categorically opposed to setting up multiple funds.
- Indigenous populations -Indigenous populations are well represented at biodiversity COPs but often emerge the most disappointed by final decisions.
