Over a span of the next six weeks in 2024, three major international environmental conferences will
take place: COP16 on Biodiversity (CBD), COP29 on Climate Change (CCC), and COP16 on Desertification
(CCD).

These conferences will serve as crucial platforms for addressing some of the most pressing
