COP16

In October 2024, global governments will be coming together in Colombia to discuss the nature emergency. The conference, known as COP16, will review how well each country is doing against targets set in 2022 (at COP15 in Canada) to bring about nature's recovery by 2030.

With nature still in decline in Wales and in some cases going backwards on the targets set, Wildlife Trusts Wales
share what the Welsh Government needs to do to meet global targets and lead on the world stage.
