Delegates from 196 nations, including India, have assembled in Canada for a two-week summit that is expected to produce a major deal to prevent and reverse environmental degradation by 2030.
Approximately 20,000 delegates from across the world will negotiate an eight-year plan to protect and restore biodiversity at the UN Biodiversity Conference (COP15) from December 7 to 19. They will do so through the Convention on Biological Variety (CBD), a convention established to conserve and preserve biological diversity and associated concerns. Among the primary topics being debated are conserving 30% of the world's land and water by 2030 and embracing the fair and equitable distribution of genetic resources. The UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, urged the nations to take positive measures to preserve biodiversity and said, “Nature is humanity’s best friend; without nature, we have nothing, and without nature, we are nothing."
