Colombia is advocating for a new global treaty on traceability for critical minerals essential for the clean energy transition, aiming to present a proposal by COP30 in November 2025. This initiative follows a UN panel's recommendation for a transparency platform to ensure sustainable mineral extraction. While developed countries are still deliberating their support, experts emphasize the need for independent scrutiny and adherence to human rights in mining practices.
COP16 in Cali faces significant challenges in achieving the global goal of protecting 30% of land and marine ecosystems by 2030, with only 29 out of 196 countries submitting updated biodiversity plans. A report highlights that just 8.3% of oceans are designated as protected areas, with effective protection likely at only 2.8%. Urgent action is needed to meet the ambitious targets set in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, as many countries, including Colombia, have missed deadlines for their National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans.
