Making #PeaceWithNature is the defining task of the 21st century and a strong concern at #COP16Colombia.
Belgian National Focal Point to the CBD retweeted
Negotiations at #COP16Colombia have reached the halfway point.
Here in Cali at this 'People's COP' we need to see progress on turning #KMGBF commitments into real, tangible action.
Lots of work ahead, but together, we can make #PeaceWithNature.
