The Secretariat of the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is now accepting media accreditation applications for this fall’s UN Biodiversity Conference. This significant event will include:
The 5th Meeting of the Subsidiary Body on Implementation (SBI 5), taking place from October 16-18, 2024.
