Amid concurrence and disagreement over various issues, SBSTTA28 ends in Nairobi ahead of CBD COP17 in Yerevan
The six-day-long 28th meeting of the Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice or SBSTTA 28 came to an end in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi on August 1, 2026, with consensus as well disagreements over a range of issues concerning global progress on biodiversity. The SBSTTA is the science advisory group for the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity, the main global treaty on protecting nature. The meeting, which began on July 27, was tasked with giving countries science-based, practical advice to speed up action on biodiversity goals. It took place ahead of the pivotal 17th Conference of the Parties (COP17) to CBD. COP17, which will take place in Yerevan, Armenia, from October 19-30, will decide on action for nature and reviewing global progress. The meeting’s chair, Jean Bruno Mikissa from Gabon, said this gathering matters a lot right now. Back in 2022, countries agreed on a plan called the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework or KMGBF. It set 23 goals that the world needs to reach by 2030, like protecting more land and ocean, and stopping species from going extinct. “#SBSTTA28 has just concluded its work. Parties to the CBD have made important progress on key scientific and...
