Please join us for our second annual Cocktails and COP-tales, an inspiring evening featuring fireside chats with experts who attended COP 16 in Colombia and COP 29 in Azerbaijan.

COP 16 in Cali, Colombia, advanced global commitments to protect biodiversity and restore ecosystems, supporting the Kunming-Montreal Framework.
