The parties to the COP16 Global Biodiversity Conference gather in Rome on 25 February, where discussions resume to agree on crucial issues to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030. This is the continuation of the COP16 meeting that took place in Cali, Colombia, in October 2024, which led to several achievements. However, parties could not reach an agreement on all decisions needed to properly implement the Global Biodiversity Framework.

At those resumed global biodiversity negotiations, the EU will work to find consensus and reach an agreement on all pending decisions, including on resource mobilization, the monitoring framework and the procedures for review of implementation.

After the resumed sessions in Rome, the next Conference of the Parties – COP17 – will take place in 2026 in Yerevan, Armenia.

Environment, Water Resilience and a Competitive Circular Economy Commissioner Jessika Roswall (pictured) said: “The EU and its member states remain fully committed to the implementation of the Global Biodiversity Framework. At these resumed negotiations, together we must find a way to continue mobilizing resources from all sources and ensure continued biodiversity financing after 2030 that is effective and coherent. We are ready to work together with all parties to move forward and build on the progress made in Cali.”
