The United Nations COP 16 biodiversity conference in Colombia is concluding with a focus on financing the protection of endangered species.

The UN Secretary-General emphasized that "political priority" is more important than money alone. The next biodiversity conference in 2026 will be hosted by Armenia.

As the COP 16 climate conference begins in Colombia, media reports are highlighting the impact of rising temperatures on events like the New York City Marathon. A study in The Lancet claims a 167% increase in heat-related deaths since the 1990s. The hosts criticize these reports as "nonsense," arguing that the ideal running temperature remains consistent and that the data is being framed to support a specific agenda.

The COP 16 climate talks in Cancun, Mexico, conclude with the establishment of the Green Climate Fund, which aims to raise $100 billion annually. The hosts criticize the appointment of the World Bank as the fund's trustee, arguing the money will be used for "elitist pricks" rather than environmental protection. They also mention the "REDD" acronym for reducing emissions, characterizing it as a land grab from poor nations.
