What a fantastic day! After almost 20 years of multilateral negotiations the #BBNJ Treaty was adopted by consensus at the UN. 👏🏻 @undoalos 🇺🇳 ⚖️🌊 #UNCLOS#HighSeas
📢 It's historic: the #BBNJ Agreement, or High Seas Treaty, will enter into force in January 2026.
The landmark agreement provides a framework to protect the ocean that lies outside of national boundaries — and which covers two-thirds of the ocean.

🌿 #COP16Colombia: Work Program on Article 8J is adopted!
This step recognizes the invaluable traditional knowledge of Indigenous peoples and local communities, paving the way for effective #Biodiversity action through the Global Biodiversity Framework’s 23 targets.
