CA FWD's very own Kate Gordon and Nuin-Tara Key contributed to this piece from Resources Legacy Fund, which focuses on building an enduring climate agenda that delivers economic prosperity. We know climate resilience is inextricable from sustainable economic growth and we are excited to see the next steps and actions that come from this work. https://lnkd.in/gz8PYAca

In an era of geopolitical fragmentation and financial constraints, nations reached a historic consensus to advance the implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF), a landmark agreement aimed at halting and reversing biodiversity loss across land, freshwater, and ocean ecosystems by 2030. I shared my key takeaways from negotiations that took place in Rome last week for Together for the Ocean's The Ocean Agenda as well as what's next on the the road to COP17.

Check out the latest Together for the Ocean blog from our Director, Brian O'Donnell. Following the completion of COP16 in Rome last week, Brian shares his thoughts on the key takeaways, progress made and where we need to drive further action! With #UNOC and #COP30 on the horizon, it is critical we push for tangible progress in restoring our planet’s biodiversity on land and in the ocean!
Last week UN Biodiversity COP16 in Cali wrapped up its resumed session in Rome with some key successes and restored hope for multilateralism. In an era of financial constraints and geopolitical tensions, countries reached a historic agreement to advance the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF). Brian O'Donnell, Director of Campaign for Nature, takes us through the conference’s key takeaways: ✅ New biodiversity finance deal, aiming for $200B per year by 2030—but pledges remain far below target. ✅ Stronger accountability measures to track biodiversity progress—but 75% of countries haven’t submitted their action plans on time. ✅ Big wins for ocean protection, strengthening commitments to protect at least 30% of the ocean by 2030. Progress is happening, but will it be fast enough? The real challenge now is turning commitments into action. Read more on the outcomes of COP16.2 and what needs to happen next: https://bit.ly/4kuLePp With #UNOC and #COP30 on the horizon, how can we push for tangible progress in restoring our planet’s biodiversity, #ForTheOcean and beyond?

“Part of that broader effort to correct those older laws that have caused harm, and really think through: How do we respect and support tribal sovereignty, respect and support traditional ecological knowledge, but also meet the climate and wildfire resiliency goals that we have as a state?” https://ow.ly/kRHu50V8HAv
