Joint event with the International Conservation APPG

We face a global nature crisis that threatens not just wildlife, but our economy, health, and efforts to tackle the climate emergency. In October delegates from almost 200 countries will meet for CBD COP16 to discuss international efforts to reverse declines in nature. With many MPs and peers new to both parliament and the international nature agenda, this roundtable will be a space to ask questions about COP16, the UK’s ambitions for the conference, and to understand how to promote ambitious outcomes for global biodiversity as a parliamentarian.
