Latin American Based Solutions: The next 16th Biodiversity COP must carry a Latin American message of hope & action, inspired by our natural and cultural heritage.

"Despite all its atributes, Colombian COP-16 Presidency has a difficult task. Most important of all, is to differenciate itself from the Paris Agreement architecture. With all its attributes, good intentions and ambitious targets, despite being nationally determined, they are never respected. Worse, the money promised to developing countries never flows. It never rains. Plenty of announcements, reclyced in countless new announcements which equals to double/triple/quadruple counting on the same penies, is what we get. I call on the Colombian Presidency to change that, to bring a Latin American message of hope but also action."

EDITORIAL: Reaching a CO2-equilibrated world, having destroyed the beauty of our natural ecosystems, our rainforests, our oceans, our glaciers, and our mountains, won’t be a world where I would like my children to live in. I assume that’s the case for you, too. 

But maybe I’m wrong. Maybe it’s an air con world, with trillion trees monocultures, numerous direct air carbon capture facilities in our new very large and very sunny deserts and electric vehicles for all what you really like. And I respect that, but I beg to defer.
