November 14, 2024 | Central News Agency (CNA) (In Chinese) |

 

The 16th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD COP16) concluded in Colombia, addressing 2030 biodiversity targets, climate-biodiversity synergies, Indigenous rights, and benefit-sharing of genetic resources. Taiwan participated as an NGO observer, sharing innovative conservation practices and fostering international collaboration.

At the International Partnership for the Satoyama Initiative (IPSI) meeting, Taiwans delegation showcased the Nanzhuang (苗栗南庄) Tribal co-management model, demonstrating achievements in ecosystem services, Indigenous knowledge revitalization, and policy implementation. During the PANORAMA side event, they presented an integrated strategy combining "community forestry," the "Satoyama Initiative," and the "Taiwan Ecological Network (國土生態綠網)," highlighting advances in local governance, biodiversity conservation, and green economy development. At the UNDP Biodiversity Finance Initiative (BIOFIN) event, the team shared approaches on ecological data integration, habitat connectivity, and corporate ESG strategies for equitable conservation outcomes.

COP16’s key decisions included establishing a permanent Indigenous issues body and the "Cali Fund" to ensure fair use of genetic resources. Taiwan’s updated National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) and Taiwan Ecological Network reflect its commitment to climate adaptation, ecological connectivity, and harmonious coexistence with nature.
