Abstract

Novedades Colombianas Journal makes available to the local, national and international community Volume 19, Number 2, dated July - December 2024, at a very important time for global biodiversity. This year, Colombia hosted the 16th Conference of the Parties on Biodiversity (COP16), which took place from October 21 to November 1 in the city of Cali (COP16 Colombia, 2024). Leaders from different countries of the world participate in this Conference, as it is the highest international instance where decisions are made within the framework of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), signed in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 by leaders of 150 countries at the Earth Summit. This convention promotes Sustainable Development through a vision that involves both ecosystems and people.
