Triple COPs – Biodiversity, Climate and Desertification

In an unpresented convergence, the three major environmental Conference of the Parties (COPs) -Biodiversity COP16, Climate COP29, and Desertification COP16—are occurring in the last 3 months of 2024. This presents a unique opportunity to underscore the interconnectedness of the crises they address. Climate instability, biodiversity loss, land degradation, desertification and drought are not isolated issues; they are deeply intertwined facets of a single planetary crisis.
