Description
Summary: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.
