SUMMARY:United Nations Biodiversity Conference 2022 #COP15
DESCRIPTION:About the Event\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe UN Biodiversity Conference (Fifteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP-15) to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD))\, Tenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety (COP-MOP 10)\, and the Fourth meeting of the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilization (NP-MOP 4) in Kunming\, China is being held in two parts.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe conference will see the adoption of the post-2020 global biodiversity framework. The framework provides a strategic vision and a global roadmap for the conservation\, protection\, restoration and sustainable management of biodiversity and ecosystems for the next decade. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe lead-up to the Conference and related meetings provides the global community with further opportunities to galvanize efforts at all levels to build a better future in harmony with nature\, and to continue efforts to achieve the Aichi Biodiversity Targets. The CBD Secretariat will continue to monitor further developments regarding the ongoing uncertainties caused by the pandemic and announce any further changes that may become necessary. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe main objective of the Conference is to adopt the post-2020 global biodiversity framework. Draft One of the framework\, released in July 2021\, builds on lessons learned from the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 and its Aichi Biodiversity Targets. It recognizes that urgent policy action globally\, regionally and nationally is required to transform economic\, social and financial models so the trends that have exacerbated biodiversity loss will stabilize by 2030 and allow for the recovery of natural ecosystems\, with net improvements by 2050. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by UNBiodiversity\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:COVID-19 and the Water Sector
DESCRIPTION:About the Event\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCOVID-19 and the Water Sector is a technical report and result of a project implemented jointly by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) to describe the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the water sector with a focus on wastewater. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis report analyzes and describes ways in which the pandemic has affected the water sector\, and how wastewater has the potential to act as a sentinel to detect the still ongoing and future pandemics. In addition\, the report presents examples and case studies from around the world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis report helps policymakers\, governments\, and potential donors to better understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the water sector\, how to address the current gaps\, and trigger future action\, especially on monitoring and surveillance of wastewater. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by UNEP\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.
