The 2024 United Nations Biodiversity Conference of the Parties (COP16) to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) was a conference that was held from 21 October to 1 November 2024, in Cali, Colombia. The monitoring framework agreed at the previous conference should allow the progress of the countries towards national goals and targets under the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework to be evaluated.
Following a partial collapse in the original negotiations, an extended session of the COP16 was held in Rome, Italy, from 25 to 27 February 2025, as the participating nations eventually agreed on a roadmap to provide developing countries with US$200 billion a year to finance the implementation of conservation targets by 2030.
