Video Updates from the UN Biodiversity Conference
The COP15 UN Biodiversity Conference – aka the “Nature COP” – taking place in Montreal, Canada, from the 7th to the 16th of December, is a vital opportunity for the world to come together and agree on a global plan to stop the nature crisis and reverse the biodiversity loss that is accelerating across the planet. But Ministers and negotiators are at risk of forgetting that nature is also blue.
In response to this, we have created the below video blog series to keep you informed on the negotiations and any developments toward the target of achieving protection for 30% of the world’s biodiversity by 2030 – 30×30 – being negotiated for the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework.

World Leaders Not in the Room for the Ocean
World Leaders have decided it is not important to attend the Convention on Biological Diversity COP15 to set new global targets to halt the loss of nature.
Ocean activists are standing in for them, dressed up as various world Leaders (including the EU, the U.S.A., France and China) to make the ocean pledges they believe Leaders would have (should have) made, had they attended.
