The Global Conference on Biodiversity and Monitoring will be held from October 10-13, 2023 in Montreal, Canada.
Organized by The Group on Earth Observations Biodiversity Observation Network (GEO BON) and its partners, the conference will take place one year after COP15 of the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity and the landmark agreement of a Global Biodiversity Framework.
The Ocean Frontier Institute will be participating in the conference to support the Monitoring Biodiversity for Action. A central theme will be the development of best practices and new technologies for biodiversity observations and monitoring to support transformative policy and conservation action.
More details will be posted as the conference approaches.

Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR), when paired with extensive emissions reductions, is a mitigation strategy to limit warming to 1.5°C as it removes legacy carbon emissions from the atmosphere by augmenting natural processes on ocean and land.
However, in order to meet climate goals, CDR must scale 30 times its present capacity by 2030, which is estimated to require an annual global investment of 1.13 billion USD/year for research and development.

This panel event is focused on the Global Greenhouse Gas Watch, which will provide a valuable tool to support the transparency of global mitigation action.
The system will be built on three components:
Open and unrestricted access to data will ensure a full transparency of system outputs, which will provide globally consistent information that will feed multiple applications including supplementary information to the traditional inventory reporting.
