The 2024 United Nations Biodiversity Conference of the Parties (COP16) to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is a conference scheduled to be held from October 21 to November 1, 2024 in Cali, Colombia.[1][2] 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.[3][4]
The UNCBD notified Parties on 31 July 2023 "of Turkey's decision to withdraw from hosting and presiding over the sixteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity due to a force majeure situation created by the three destructive earthquakes that occurred in February 2023."[5]
On 11 December 2023, Colombia, through its Minister of Environment and Sustainable Development Susana Muhamad, officially offered to host the UNCBD COP16 event from 21 October to 1 November 2024.[6]
On 20 February 2024, Colombian President Gustavo Petro announced that Cali was chosen to host the event after a month-long competition with Bogotá.[7][1]
