The COP16 biodiversity summit in Cali, Colombia, is in its final week, focusing on the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) adopted by nearly 200 countries. The GBF aims to protect 30% of the planet's lands and oceans by 2030, but progress is slow, with only 17.6% of land and 8.4% of ocean areas currently protected. Indigenous representatives are urging governments to act swiftly on commitments made two years ago. The EU is leading efforts, but there is a call for increased green investments to meet 2030 targets.
