At last week’s #COP16Resumed sessions, it was heartening to see some progress come out of the discussions, like governments reaffirming their commitment to scaling up positive incentives for biodiversity.
These talks built on conversations from last year’s #COP16 summit in Colombia.
We finally have a deal from the Biodiversity #COP16Resumed sessions – yes, you read that right.
In this #ThinkLandscape round-up, find out what policymakers have agreed in Rome, along with the latest on the Gulf Stream, crypto, USAID and other headlines.

Yesterday's historic moment at #COP16Resumed! 🌍💚 Delegates gave a standing ovation to Susana Muhamad for her outstanding leadership as COP16 President. 👏✨
Congrats to her and all involved! @bmel.de @bmz.de @bmuv.de @fao.org #COP16 #biodiversity
OK, but a vision without execution is just hallucination.
Govt’s and businesses habitually fail to hit nature + climate targets.
And they spend more of their time and $€¥£ destroying nature + ecosystems than protecting and restoring them.

Anoche se clausuro la #COP16Biodiversidad con acuerdo en los asuntos más espinosos.
Se aprobaron los documentos, incluido el fondo para la biodiversidad que dependerá de las partes. Pero los países del norte se salen con la suya al derivar al sector privado parte de la financiación.
