A study comparing media coverage and internet searches related to recent climate & biodiversity COPs reveals that the biodiversity COP received far less attention.⏳
Both crises are interlinked & best addressed together.

Media coverage of biodiversity falls short compared to climate change and popular culture - npj Biodiversity
We compared global media coverage and internet search interest in COP15—which resulted in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework—with COP27, a climate-focused conference, and the popular American singer Taylor Swift. Despite the critical environmental and societal implications of biodiversity loss, COP15 received significantly less attention, even in highly biodiverse countries. Addressing this attention shortfall will be crucial for building the awareness and advocacy needed to achieve global biodiversity goals.

EU countries agree weakened 2040 climate goal and target for COP30
The deal avoids the EU going empty handed to the COP30 climate summit starting on Nov. 10.
