One year ago, a historic agreement was adopted by 196 countries at COP15: the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). What was so special about it? And what happened since then?
In this second episode, I invite you to lend an ear to Indigenous leaders, to the finance sector and businesses present at the conference. I also share some insights on the (slow) progress and some of the positive developments since the adoption of the GBF. Listen here for part 1: At the heart of COP15 - Part 1.
