COP16 Dispatch: Day 5 Science, Business and Biodiversity Outcomes
By Alison Mize, ESA Director of Public Affairs
ESA is represented at Bloom24, such as this breakfast to discuss nature metrics for business.
COP16 is a soup of people, from organizations, students, communicators and country representatives. People are talking about how to achieve biodiversity goals and address the biodiversity crisis across the globe.
The ESA Delegation is well into COP16 events and we are making new connections and learning a lot to bring back to the ESA community.
It’s really exciting to see all the interactions and to see where ecological science is needed. One thing that is apparent is how crucial and important it is for ESA and ecologists to reach outside of fundamental science into applied ecology. It’s outside many ecologists’ comfort zones, so I hope the ESA umbrella can provide a comfortable space for you to engage. Biodiversity needs everyone at the table for good outcomes.
Alison Mize and Lis Nelis were interviewed by Colombian university students about our COP16 experience and why we attended.
The COP16 Green Zone is vibrant and more relaxed than the Blue Zone events.
