SUMMARY:
DESCRIPTION:Under the theme of Leading Transformation Together\, the fourth edition of the World Biodiversity Forum WBF will take place from Sunday\, 14 June to Friday\, 19 June 2026 in Davos\, Switzerland. \nBending the curve of biodiversity loss\, and addressing the interconnected planetary crises that negatively impact planetary health and social justice requires the development of actionable solutions based on the best available knowledge\, jointly across sectors and generations. It also requires addressing the root causes of these crises\, current social and cultural pattern and practices\, by co-developing biodiversity-positive futures\, and creating structures and practices that are just and equitable. Also\, the operationalization of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework urgently needs strong support beyond the governmental structures. The World Biodiversity Forum 2026 contributes to these developments by convening the community to build broad and strong leadership and networks for transformation\, bringing science\, arts\, society\, and businesses together\, across generations. WBF2026 builds on the valuable experience from previous World Biodiversity Forums (read more). \nLink: https://worldbiodiversityforum.org/

SUMMARY:17th session of the Convention’s Conference of the Parties (COP17)
DESCRIPTION:The 17th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP17) to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) will be hosted by Mongolia in its capital\, Ulaanbaatar\, from August 17 to 28\, 2026. \nUNCCD announcement \nThis historic global event will bring together delegates from 197 Parties\, heads of state\, ministers\, representatives of international organizations\, scientific communities\, civil society\, and the private sector to find solutions to the interrelated challenges of desertification\, land degradation\, and drought. \nCOP17 will be held in the context of the United Nations International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists (IYRP 2026)\, providing a crucial global opportunity to highlight sustainable rangeland management and the needs of more than one billion people who depend directly on these vital ecosystems for their livelihoods. \nDuring the two-week conference\, participants will take part in a high-level segment featuring ministerial dialogues\, as well as multi-stakeholder forums and thematic discussions on science-policy integration\, innovation\, solutions\, technology\, and finance. The event is expected to foster effective collaboration and action across sectors\, advancing the goals of sustainable land management\, ecosystem and land restoration\, and the implementation of Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) targets. \nTo build momentum for COP17 and raise awareness among the public and young people\, Mongolia has already launched a series of national initiatives. One of the key upcoming events is the national forum “Youth4Land\,” scheduled for June 16-17\, 2025\, in the city of Mandalgovi\, Dundgovi Province\, on the occasion of Desertification and Drought Day. This forum will bring together more than 100 young herders\, researchers\, and policymakers to jointly develop sustainable land solutions based on traditional knowledge and scientific evidence. This national initiative is part of the country’s efforts to implement the outcomes of previous UNCCD COPs and promote inclusive participation. \nMongolia’s ambitious development and environmental agenda\, which includes the national “Billions of Trees” movement\, the “White Gold” community-based rural development initiative\, and the “Food Revolution” agricultural and soil initiative\, positions the country as a model for regional and global action. \nHosting COP17 will provide a historic opportunity to take international cooperation on land\, climate\, and biodiversity to the next level. \nThis crucial conference will mark a significant step forward in uniting the world around solutions to the challenges of land degradation and climate change\, thereby consolidating Mongolia’s contribution to building a sustainable and resilient future for all. \nFor more information\, please contact: \nUNCCD Press Office:\npress@unccd.int\nhttps://www.unccd.int/\n@unccd \nMinistry of Environment and Climate Change of Mongolia: https://www.mecc.gov.mn

Participants will exchange views\, develop initiatives\, and identify actions to advance SDG 6\, including cooperation at all relevant levels to enhance means of implementation and partnerships. \nThe Conference will also highlight gender perspectives and empowerment of women and girls in ensuring safe drinking water and sanitation for all. \nThe Conference will result in a summary of the proceedings of the Conference\, to be prepared by the Presidents of the Conference\, as its outcome document. The summary will also serve as an input to the UN High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF). \nAdditionally\, the Conference will offer an opportunity to share best practices in accelerating SDG implementation—including those included in the Water Action Agenda—and will invite Member States and other stakeholders to announce voluntary commitments in support of the Conference objectives. Members States decided that the 2026 Conference should build on the discussions held during the UN 2023 Water Conference. \nThe 2026 UN Water Conference will be comprised of plenary sessions and six interactive dialogues (A/RES/78/327). The Conference secretariat\, UN-DESA\, will prepare a background note on potential themes of the interactive dialogues\, based on the inputs of Member States\, the UN system\, and a wide range of other stakeholders.
