COP16 drought talks concluded yesterday <\/strong>without a binding agreement<\/a><\/strong> as negotiators from 196 countries and the European Union were unable to reach an agreement on how to respond to drought on a global scale. The 12-day UN Convention to Combat Desertification was held in Riyadh. Meanwhile, more than USD 12 bn<\/a> were pledged to tackle desertification, land degradation and drought. The story got ink in France24<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Despite the lack of a final agreement, progress was made in setting the foundation for a <\/strong>global drought framework<\/strong>, with plans to complete it at COP17 in Mongolia in 2026. <\/p>\n

Sign of the times: <\/strong>The failure of COP16 to reach an agreement is the latest in a string of failed global talks on preserving the planet, including talks on biodiversity in Colombia, plastic pollution in South Korea, and climate finance at COP29 in Baku.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
