Humanity depends on biodiversity.
Over the next two weeks, countries are meeting at #COP17Armenia to take stock of progress on the Global Biodiversity Framework - the world's plan to halt and reverse nature loss.

What if a single bird could tell us the health of an entire ecosystem?
In Botswana, the Slaty Egret is a key indicator species for the Okavango Delta.
This #WorldMigratoryBirdDay, watch how migratory birds connect ecosystems across continents.

Mountain biodiversity must have a strong voice in global negotiations. UNEP is pleased to support this regional workshop, helping negotiators from the Hindu Kush Himalaya strengthen their skills and advance the region’s priorities ahead of @UNBiodiversity's CBD COP17.
Protecting biodiversity is not only about what happens on the ground. It is also about ensuring that the realities of mountain regions are reflected at the negotiating table.
Three decades have passed since the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) came into effect, yet biodiversity loss has not only persisted but intensified. The Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) region represents one of the most biodiverse and environmentally significant mountain regions in the world. The region consists of major ecoregions and four global biodiversity hotspots. Despite this, the specific vulnerabilities of mountain regions are not always comprehensively addressed or reflected in CBD negotiations and relevant implementation frameworks.
To address these challenges, the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD), in collaboration with Jigme Singye Wangchuck School of Law, UN Environment Programme and CBD Secretariat, has organised the “Regional training workshop for Conventional on Biological Diversity negotiators” from 16-17 September.
Over the two days, the workshop strengthened the strategic and technical capacities of HKH negotiators, with a particular focus on the CBD’s Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and preparations for the 17th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the CBD (COP-17) in October. Through a blend of practical exercises, and negotiation simulations, participants will enhance their skills to raise the profile of mountain biodiversity issues and the needs of the HKH region within the CBD and its related processes.

Air pollution is often invisible, but its impacts are not.
We’re launching a photo call to document its sources, impacts and the solutions bringing cleaner air to communities globally.
Selected entries will be featured for the International Day of Clean Air.

#WorldEnvironmentDay might be wrapping up, but the climate challenge isn’t. Neither is the growing movement of people, cities and countries taking action.
This is just a glimpse of the action, ideas and momentum driving climate action around the 🌎.

Until recently, no city saw 5+ days above 50°C a year. Today, 100+ do. 🌡️
A new @UNinPak's op-ed: cities must be redesigned for sustainable cooling — a necessity, not a luxury.
