CBCGDF Invites Experts and Scholars to Join Its Delegation for the UNEP Global Intergovernmental Meeting on Minerals and Metals

Minerals and metals are the basis of many industries, such as construction, electronics, transportation and energy. Therefore, the management of minerals and metals is of great importance. With the growth of global population, the demand for minerals and metals is also increasing. Therefore, the environmental sustainability of minerals and metals in their life cycle has received wide concern.

China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) has been invited to attend the Global Intergovernmental Meeting on Minerals and Metals of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to be held on 7th and 8th September 2023 in Geneva, which will highlight the key findings of the regional consultations and provide an opportunity to gather additional feedback to potentially inform a co-chairs’ summary of outcomes.

Prior to this, the co-chairs will also organize a “Briefing on the Global Intergovernmental Meeting on Minerals and Metals”, taking place at the International Environment House II, and online, on 23 August, 2023.

CBCGDF will set up a delegation to attend the meeting. Therefore, scholars and experts are welcome to join the delegation to better participate in the governance of mineral and metal issues on the international stage. The deadline for application is August 28th, 2023. Applicants are required to provide information about the name, position and a recent digital photo of passport size as well as suggestions and relevant working experiences on minerals and metals.

Unveiling the Mysteries of Cetaceans in the South China Sea: Chinese Scientists Describe Important Marine Mammal Areas (IMMAs)

Image
The world’s ocean ecosystems are facing mounting threats—climate change, marine pollution, overfishing, and habitat destruction due to human activities, to name a few. These pressures are particularly dangerous for marine mammals like cetaceans, whose survival hinges on healthy habitats and stable populations. Yet, in regions like the South China Sea, where biodiversity is exceptionally high, little research has been done to understand the needs and habitats of cetaceans. This lack of data has left a gap in our knowledge and made it challenging to establish targeted conservation strategies. Recognizing this, Chinese scientists have now set out to fill these gaps and contribute essential data to inform future policy and management, aiming to protect these vulnerable species and support the objectives of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). In a landmark study published on October 8, 2024, in Biological Conservation, Dr. Li Songhai and his team from the Institute of...
