At the UN Biodiversity Conference (COP15), 23 countries and organizations, led by Colombia and supported by Germany, launched a partnership to accelerate country-led implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, adopted at the meeting.

Over 300 experts from around the world met between September and October 2022 to officially launch the production of the 7th edition of the Global Environment Outlook (GEO-7), the flagship report of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP). The GEO-7, expected to be presented to the 7th UN Environment Assembly (UNEA) by 2026, provides an integrated and holistic environmental assessment of pathways to address the triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution.

The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) today announced its 2022 Champions of the Earth, honouring a conservationist, an enterprise, an economist, a women’s rights activist, and a wildlife biologist for their transformative action to prevent, halt and reverse ecosystem degradation.
