Experts gather to help the country’s readiness for the 15th Conference of the Convention on Biological Diversity.
To support Peru’s preparations, on 30 June 2021, World Agroforestry (ICRAF) organised a virtual meeting, Stakeholders Meeting Trees on Farms: Presentation of Progress 2020–2021, within the framework of the Harnessing the Potential of Trees on Farms for Meeting National and Global Biodiversity Targets project, known as Trees on Farms for Biodiversity or, simply, Trees on Farms, which is funded by the International Climate Initiative of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety.
In Peru, the Trees on Farms project team has been promoting the role of trees in farmland, providing evidence to support enhanced policies and official definitions of agroforestry to help achieve the Government’s objectives in relation to the National Biodiversity Strategy and commitments made to the Convention.

Proposals will be scrutinised by governments ahead of COP15 Biodiversity Summit in Kunming this autumn, where the final text is expected to be negotiated
The UN Convention on Biological Diversity has published the first draft of a global agreement for tackling biodiversity loss, setting out a string of ambitious new targets for 2030 and 2050 to be negotiated by world leaders at the COP15 Biodiversity Summit in Kunming, China.
Among the 2030 targets in the draft framework published yesterday are goals for 30 per cent of land and sea to be protected, for pollution from all sources to be reduced to levels that are not harmful to biodiversity, for pesticide use to be slashed by two thirds, for nutrient run off to be halved, and for plastic pollution eliminated.
