In this COP15 context, the data points to the importance of broad adoption of organic regenerative \/ agroecological systems, which can very significantly address the interactive health, biodiversity, and climate crises. Close on the heels of November\u2019s UN COP27 summit on climate, COP15 has commenced, with the goal of adopting a post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework (CBF) to provide \u201ca strategic vision and a global roadmap for the conservation, protection, restoration, and sustainable management of biodiversity and ecosystems for the next decade.\u201d The first such summit was called the Convention on Biological Diversity and was held in 1993.
