ESG News Week In Review

Tim Mohin: The Rio Trio – Previewing Three Upcoming COP Summits

This week’s header image is the biodiversity stripes. Similar to the climate stripes, it visually represents how biodiversity has collapsed in the last 50 years. Each line represents a year from 1970-2020 and shows the declining health of global biodiversity, which diminished by 73% during that time.

Key Impact Points:

  • Biodiversity COP16 begins with only 25 of 195 countries submitting plans to meet the Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.
  • Upcoming COP29 will focus on climate finance, aiming to increase funding commitments from $100 billion to $500 billion annually for developing nations.
  • The Rio Trio Initiative sees the first collaboration between biodiversity, climate, and desertification COPs, highlighting the interconnectedness of global environmental challenges.
