COP16 in the Colombian city of Cali was primarily concerned with the technical implementation of the global nature treaty adopted two years ago in Montreal as well as financing issues.

In 2022, around 200 countries committed in Montreal to place at least 30 percent of the world's land and sea areas under protection.
