Press briefing 10 October: SEI experts highlight the key topics to watch at biodiversity COP16 and climate COP29

Report this content

On 10 October, Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) invites you to a press briefing where our leading experts will share their perspectives on the key issues set to dominate the upcoming Conferences of the Parties: the UN Biodiversity Conference (COP16) in Cali, Colombia (21 October–1 November) and the UN Climate Change Conference (COP29) in Baku, Azerbaijan (11–22 November).

The briefing will not only highlight major biodiversity and climate trends but will show how these two agendas are increasingly interlinked, as demonstrated in SEI research.
