nations struggle to align health and biodiversity goals at cop16 summit
At COP16 in Colombia, nations are deadlocked over a health-biodiversity framework aimed at aligning conservation with human health priorities, amid concerns over the lack of submissions from biodiversity-rich countries. While 35 national biodiversity plans include health considerations, 82% of nations missed the UN deadline, raising doubts about global commitment to the 2022 Montreal biodiversity deal. Key issues include benefit-sharing from genetic resources and the classification of antibiotic waste, reflecting deep divisions among countries.
