UNCCD COP 16: another setback for multilateral environmental and resource protection

Oops, it’s happened again: after the CBD, an important negotiation process has now also failed in the UNCCD, known in Germany as the Desertification Convention – a multilateral agreement to combat the consequences of drought. In his welcome address to the 16th Conference of the Parties (COP 16) in Riyadh on 2 December, Secretary-General Ibrahim Thiaw had urged the delegations ‘to adopt a bold decision that can help turn the tide on the most pervasive and the most disruptive environmental disaster: drought’. Two weeks later, it was clear that the signatory states were unable to reach an agreement and a decision has been postponed until at least 2026, where the next COP meeting will take place in Mongolia.
