UN Biodiversity Conference (COP 16) – Reconvene

The UN Biodiversity Conference, suspended earlier this year in Cali, Colombia, will reconvene from 25-27 February, 2025 in Rome, Italy, at the headquarters of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).

The bureau of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity today agreed to hold resumed sessions for COP 16 and the concurrent meetings of the Protocols to address agenda items left unresolved following the suspension of the meeting due to loss of quorum in the early hours of 2 November.
