Ego podcast, because the environment is
a theme for everyone. This one'

2
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:21.879
s hello how I' m doing
with a warm greeting. This is Pepe

3
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:27.879
Morón and along with Erlenci Gutiérrez,
we welcome you to this chapter of RCN

4
00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:34.479
Radio' s echo podcast. Today
speaking of Cop 16 and the city of

5
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:41.719
Cali, the most important meeting of
biodiversity that can take place these days and

6
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:47.240
during this two thousand twenty- four
will be in Colombian territory. That is

7
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:53.000
very important for our country and in
this episode we will be analyzing, because,

8
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:56.560
so, you know, prepare a
coffee, look for a little corner,

9
00:00:57.119 --> 00:01:15.239
comfortable and prepare for this journey through
the environmental world. Welcome a truly

10
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:23.120
historical fact and I do not exaggerate
by classifying it that way, referring to

11
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:29.319
the environment of our Colombian territory,
and is that our country has the opportunity

12
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:37.159
to host this event for the first
time And Cali is the venue of this

13
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:42.239
day that includes economic and tourism development, as well as environmental. And above

14
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:46.799
all, in a territory such as
Valle del Cauca, which is part of

15
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:52.159
all this so affected peaceful, affected
by the issue of public order, affected

16
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:57.439
for many by the state oblivion,
affected by the environmental part that has been

17
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:01.760
ravaged by illegal armed groups, by
illegal mining, by illicit crops and so

18
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:07.319
much damage that the environment has been
suffering in that region of the country,

19
00:02:07.919 --> 00:02:10.759
region that, as we said,
will be host to one of the most

20
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:16.960
important meetings of Biodiversity, But Lessi
and how do you think if we go

21
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:22.680
directly to that region to know a
little what is said from there in front

22
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:28.560
of Cop sixteen and how it is
received, not only in Valle del Cauca,

23
00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:35.120
but in the city of Cali.
Well, let' s listen to

24
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:40.039
Diana Villegas, from the capital of
Valle del Cauca, who tells us how

25
00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:46.680
they received the news of the designation
of the city of Cali as the house

26
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:49.400
of the sixteen CALE COT. Upon
receiving the seat of Cop 16 of Biodiversity,

27
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:53.240
it will be before the eyes of
the world. Its landscapes, the

28
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:57.759
more than 200 species of birds,
among other environmental benefits, made the Green

29
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:01.439
Jewel of Valle del Cauca welcome this
important international summit in October. This has

30
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:06.639
been said by the Mayor of Calia, Alejandro Eder and Governor Dilian Francisca Toro.

31
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:09.800
We have shown that it is biodiversity
to take care of life. It

32
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:15.439
is an opportunity to promote reconciliation.
To achieve this event in Calli we joined

33
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:17.840
from the public sector, with the
private sector, with the academic sector,

34
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:23.599
with community groups, Afro- Cabildos
communities, indigenous communities, business unions,

35
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:29.240
all of society united with one voice. Happy because we won the 16th COT.

36
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:32.400
We won it for Cali, which
is not only the capital of the

37
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:37.400
Cauca Valley, but the capital of
the Pacific. The Pacific is the second

38
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:42.280
most biodiverse region in the world.
Here COP 16 are going to live biodiversity.

39
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:46.759
They' re not gonna tell you. The river pance Cauca, Lilí,

40
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:51.000
Cali and Aguacatal, Cañaveralejo and Meléndez
are the seven rivers that cross the

41
00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:54.240
city. There is also the vastness
of the National Natural Park for jones with

42
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:59.479
one hundred and ninety- six thousand
four hundred and twenty- nine hectares that

43
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:02.400
guarantee a purer air, plus more
than twelve eco parks and sixty- one

44
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:05.479
wetlands that account for the biodiversity that
this capital has. This is what Mario

45
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:09.479
Mina, the director of the DAGMA, said. We have one of the

46
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:13.719
most biodiverse regions on the planet.
We have people of all ethnicities, cultures,

47
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:16.240
etc, and we have all the
riches and, above all, the

48
00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:20.000
ability to develop the best cop that
the planet has had, that we have

49
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:24.560
any number of fauna species since Flora. We are a crucible because we are

50
00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:28.319
at the center and the geographic fact
makes us unique on the planet. In

51
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:31.480
this sense, Cali will also represent
the greatness of the entire Colombian peace-

52
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:35.279
keeper and will be a sanctuary for
wildlife in the region. This would be

53
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:40.120
a very good opportunity for the city, because it would help us a lot

54
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:44.399
in the hotel, tourist, commercial, economic sector for the city. It

55
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:48.240
would be great, it would be
beneficial for the whole city, for taxi

56
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:51.959
drivers, for the people who make
it on the street, because tourists are

57
00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:54.600
going to increase. A lot of
people are gonna make it. I believe

58
00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:59.360
that in our service it can be
more than thirty or forty percent increase in

59
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:01.680
racing. We' re all going
to benefit. I find it very good,

60
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:05.639
because they will know the people who
come abroad will know the gastronomy all

61
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:11.240
the products that they do not know
there and because they do collaborate us because

62
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:15.439
it increases the sales. I think
it' s very good that Chalice is

63
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.120
the seat according to EDU and cursed
Secretary of Economic Development of Calin. On

64
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:23.879
the economic front, it is expected
to leave at least$ 11 million in

65
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:28.120
accommodation,$ 5 million in other
expenses, such as restaurant and transportation,

66
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:31.160
and at least$ 3 5 million
in logistics. In addition, it was

67
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:35.079
a great opportunity for the business fabric
of the region, as an economy dynamic

68
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:40.800
of more than$ 20 million is
estimated. We have everything, we have

69
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:45.680
infrastructure, we have human capital and
we have diversity. Calin represents as never

70
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:50.240
before that cultural, ethnic and nature
wealth that we have in our country and

71
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:55.600
we are going to receive all these
delegations from more than one hundred and ninety

72
00:05:55.600 --> 00:06:00.040
countries so that these global discussions are
seen here we can talk about diversity and

73
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:02.240
how we talk in a sustained manner. Hotel occupancy will be another important aspect.

74
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:09.360
According to data from Cotelco Valle,
the department has nine hundred and twenty

75
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:14.920
- five hotels with a capacity of
more than twenty- one thousand rooms and

76
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:17.680
meeting rooms, as well as high
quality medical centers that are in the top

77
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:20.600
ten of Latin America and, of
course, the Pacific Valley event center,

78
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:26.240
with a total area of seventy-
six zero square meters and the capacity to

79
00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:29.519
house at least twelve zero people Oscar
Guzmán, Executive President of Cottelcovalle. This

80
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:32.079
is an event of the Colombian Pacific. We are going to tell the world

81
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:35.959
that there are one hundred and ninety
delegations who are going to visit us from

82
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:40.160
21 October to 1 November. What
we have this paradise full of riches and,

83
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:45.360
most importantly, its warm hospital people
aleg That is why, also from

84
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:48.839
the hotels we have a very big
responsibility to house those thirteen zero tourists who

85
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:53.000
will come to work at the Cup
to work in the future of the diversity

86
00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:57.079
of the world and we expect an
economic spill of eleven million dollars in accommodation,

87
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:00.920
five million dollars in what is other
cases such as restaurants, transportation and

88
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:04.879
three five million dollars in it for
a large total of about twenty- two

89
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:09.959
million hours. That is why this
event, in addition to being a great

90
00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:13.639
showcase for us to know in the
world the valley and the Pacific, will

91
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:17.079
also give us important economic resources in
the economic dynamics of our region, the

92
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:23.279
Colombian Pacific. In view of this
situation, work tables have already been set

93
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:29.519
up in which different entities will participate
Governorship, mayor, guilds, Chamber of

94
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:33.360
Commerce as well as pro- Pacific, among other organizations, with the purpose

95
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:36.000
of making articulation and synergy before the
biggest event that the city has had in

96
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:40.279
its history. Cop sixteen is an
opportunity to show Cali and Valle del Cauca,

97
00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:43.319
the world, show another side and, from this, receive additional opportunities

98
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:46.680
in which the city and the region
give you epicenters to make events, weaving

99
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:55.720
on the resume the realization of the
greatest summit of biodiversity. We continue with

100
00:07:55.759 --> 00:08:01.560
this information related to COP sixteen,
which will be or will be possible to

101
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:07.720
do in Colombia from October to the
end of October of this two thousand twenty

102
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:11.439
- four. But in a certain
way, it must be said that COP

103
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:16.399
16 is already underway in the city
of Cali, This under the leadership of

104
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:22.199
the Minister of Environment Susanamo Amat,
when the installation of the first steering committee

105
00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:31.159
was launched to hold some key discussion
issues for this important meeting that brings together

106
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:37.120
leaders from all over the world,
which brings together issues of great importance for

107
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:41.720
the whole planet, and one of
those key points is how it will be

108
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:48.960
financed, how the necessary resources will
be obtained for the realization of this important

109
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:54.240
event. And this was said by
the Minister of Environment Sushanamom. The Steering

110
00:08:54.279 --> 00:09:00.480
Committee is already starting to land the
actual costs, because obviously we have initial

111
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:05.720
initial costs. But the negotiating framework
or rather the framework of the CD agreement

112
00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:09.679
that we have to sign with the
Convention is beginning to land. It'

113
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:15.200
ll be signed very soon in the
next few weeks. It is a first

114
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:20.039
commitment of two million dollars to be
able to have all the infrastructure of the

115
00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:24.279
United Nations and then the country,
because it will bear the expenses of the

116
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:33.360
entire logistic organization of the Convention It
is also prudent to hear erlensi that the

117
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:43.039
organizers of this important meeting say at
international level the main attendees of this Biodiversity

118
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:48.080
Summit, as is the sixteen that
we can count if pepe It is the

119
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:54.320
interim Executive Secretary of the UN Conference
for Biodiversity, David Cooper, who congratulated

120
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:58.720
Cali for being the headquarters of the
CODGE will be held in October of this

121
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:07.840
year. I would like to offer
my sincere congratulations to the city of Clly

122
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:15.159
for having been selected to host COPTIS
and six to host the United Nations Conference

123
00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:22.960
on Bidiversity two thousand twenty- four. We very much welcome this announcement made

124
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:31.799
by the Colombian organizer committee. We
especially thank President Gustavo Petro, the Administration

125
00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:39.919
Susan Mohammid and the entire Government of
Colombia team. I think he also thanks

126
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:46.799
the city of Bogotá, as well
as the other candidate cities, which launched

127
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:54.840
vibrant campaigns to welcome the Coptysis and
six for us in the Convention on Biological

128
00:10:54.840 --> 00:11:03.120
Diversity. He is greatly encouraged to
witness Columbia' s credible commitment and dedication

129
00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:11.639
at all levels of government and society
in general to continue to demonstrate its leadership

130
00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:20.080
in the international realm of viversity.
As it celebrates almost two years after the

131
00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:26.200
adoption of the World Moco for the
Bidiversity of Comming Montreul, the sais Coptysis

132
00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:35.240
will be of significant importance, as
it will contribute to catalyzing solutions to move

133
00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:43.919
from agreement to action, facilitating the
rapid and effective implementation of the most ambitious

134
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:50.039
plan for diversity that have been adopted
to date. During this Conference, the

135
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:56.240
parties to the Convention are expected to
present their national strategies and action plans for

136
00:11:56.240 --> 00:12:03.519
viversity, aligned with the goals and
objectives of the Convention. Among other important

137
00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:09.440
matters. It is also expected that
they will further develop the monitoring framework,

138
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:16.559
advance the mobilization of financial resources and
finalize the multi- lateral mechanism. The

139
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:24.320
sharing of benefits arising from the use
of digital information on genetic resource sequences to

140
00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:33.480
a vague biological, ethnic and cultural
inno- diversity. In one of the

141
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:41.519
countries with myobidiversity of the colliding world
undoubtedly the global focus where the international community

142
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:52.639
will negotiate these matters of great importance
we see in Cali. Thank you very

143
00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:56.559
much, Wetterns. You know what
our experts, our guests, say is

144
00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:03.120
key to us. And on this
first topic, we have today as a

145
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:09.120
guest Maritza Florian, who is a
specialist in climate change, biodiversity and ecosystem

146
00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:13.519
services of the WF Colombia. We
welcome her to this chapter of the eco

147
00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:20.039
podcast Maritsa and thank you for accepting
this invitation, Pepe Thank you so much

148
00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:22.919
for inviting us. Since we are
happy with the COPI news of speaking a

149
00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:26.320
little more for him and that is
undoubtedly the main theme and what motivates us

150
00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:33.639
to have her as guest. The
Cop in Colombia, COP sixteen, which

151
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:39.440
was confirmed would already be in the
city of Cali. What can we say.

152
00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:43.000
First, let us explain a little
to the listeners what this meeting is

153
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:46.399
about, what the COP 16 is
about. Of course, well, the

154
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:52.879
thing is the most outstanding biodiversity summit
in the world. So why the Conference

155
00:13:54.720 --> 00:14:01.320
of the Parties is a conference of
the parties. They are the nations where

156
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:07.440
nations that are party to the United
Nations Convention on Biological Diversity meet. It

157
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:11.360
is a convention that brings together all
the countries of the world around three main

158
00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:16.600
objectives, namely the conservation of biodiversity, its sustainable use and a topic related

159
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:24.879
to the fair diffusion of benefits from
the use of genetic resources. Then this

160
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:33.039
conference happens every two years. It
is important that we distinguish it from the

161
00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:35.799
conference or the weather thing that we
sometimes also hear, that there are some

162
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:41.679
other things, but that is the
biodiversity cop. It is number sixteen and

163
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:48.240
will take place in Colombia, as
this meeting is broken between the different regions

164
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:52.000
of the world. Then, on
this occasion it will be Latin America,

165
00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:58.279
it will be in Colombia and there
will be very important discussions on biodiversity this

166
00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:01.440
year. Let' s get a
little into that where it' s going

167
00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:03.759
to be discussed this year at Cop
16. What are some of the topics

168
00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:09.559
that are scheduled or hopefully can be
addressed at this important meeting. Sure.

169
00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:13.320
Thank you very much, because this
particular Cup happens in the middle already in

170
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:18.720
verinta twenty- four of a critical
decade of two thousand twenty to twenty thirty,

171
00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:24.759
we say that we must act with
respect to the triple trins of biodiversity,

172
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:30.519
climate and pollution. And because this
particular cup is the first that happens

173
00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:37.360
after something called the new Global Framework
for Biodiversity. So, this particular comma,

174
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:43.559
because we have the challenge of reviewing
how the implementation of this new framework

175
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:50.240
is going. That new framework is
twenty- three goals that the world agreed

176
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:58.879
upon to stop the loss of diversity
and reverse this loss. So, in

177
00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:03.360
this particular way, we' re
going to review how countries are going with

178
00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:07.480
respect to these strategies to meet those
twenty- three goals that may come out

179
00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:11.240
sounding a little bit abstract, but
those twenty- three tables. There is

180
00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:14.799
one that is well known, which
is, for example, the goal conservation

181
00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:18.279
area of land areas, which at
least thirty percent of our nets and marines

182
00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:22.639
are protected. But she' s
not the only one. Twenty- three

183
00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:26.840
of these are some that point to
conservation, some that aim to improve collectivity,

184
00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:32.279
some that aim to reduce the extinction
of certain species, to improve the

185
00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:37.159
use of natural resources, to mobilize
financing, to generate capacities, among others.

186
00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:42.759
So, mainly the issues of this
cos are to have strategies from all

187
00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:48.279
countries, to see how they go
to comply with these agreements, which are

188
00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:52.759
the ones that govern this decade then, this new framework goes from twenty twenty

189
00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:55.720
to twenty thirty and we are going
to meet in Colombia to see how we

190
00:16:55.720 --> 00:17:00.759
are going. It' s the
main topic of discussion. I am wonderful

191
00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:07.200
to hear it, Maritsa Florian,
and we are wondering because this code sixteen

192
00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:14.039
will be in this country, because
it is important for Colombia to make the

193
00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:15.279
house of this new summit. Thank
you very much for that question. It

194
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:18.599
is very important for Colombia to make
the house of this summit. To the

195
00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:23.000
extent that the national government has been
a pioneer in the discussions of biodiversity,

196
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:30.079
in multilateralism, Colombia always stands out
for its ambitious positions, since, as

197
00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:33.440
we know, Colombia is the second
most diverse country in the world and we

198
00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:38.640
have a leading role, not only
to fulfill our national biodiversity gene, but

199
00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:45.039
also to inspire and motivate an agenda
at the international level in addition, as

200
00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:51.359
it is a unique opportunity for the
country, since, since these events mobilize

201
00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:57.279
approximately we are waiting for twelve thousand
or three thousand people from all over the

202
00:17:57.319 --> 00:18:04.519
world to discuss aspects of biodiversity and
the visibility it will have. This for

203
00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:10.519
the country is a very, very
important opportunity, for example, to get

204
00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:15.839
an idea. We do not have
an event of this magnitude organized on an

205
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:19.279
international scene as a precedent. So, that way we are already realizing that

206
00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:26.720
it is an international scene for the
country. It is a logistical, methodological,

207
00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:30.440
thematic challenge, but it positions an
environmental agenda that helps meet the goals

208
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:36.400
of the national agenda and that gives
us a window to the world being one

209
00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:41.200
of the most biodiverse countries. Then, it is definitely a platform where we

210
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:48.559
can have used our leadership and internally
make a harbinger of those concrete actions towards

211
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:53.680
more ambitious biodiversity agendas in the country. Positive for Colombia, Peru also does

212
00:18:53.759 --> 00:19:00.000
not imagine positive for a region like
the one that contains Cali in Caliz will

213
00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:03.960
be the headquarters. This also belongs
to the whole Pacific issue, which is

214
00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:07.960
experiencing a rather complex reality, not
only in matters of public order, but

215
00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:14.720
also in environmental issues. How important
do you think you can do this for

216
00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:22.680
the region where this cop sixteen will
be found? We are very happy with

217
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:29.480
the selection of streets as the first
COV in Colombia after the adoption of the

218
00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:33.319
Global Biodiversity Frameworks, for several reasons, among them because, therefore, it

219
00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:38.119
is a place very close to our
vision, to our mission, to our

220
00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:45.359
operations in this city. We started
operations thirty years ago like WUF and we

221
00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:52.920
did it for the same reasons that
the national government gives a support here I

222
00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:59.039
saw as a city critical to the
management of the university and it is because

223
00:19:59.160 --> 00:20:03.279
of the importance in the and ernic
of the peaceful region. So, that

224
00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:08.920
' s pantarazo in one of the
most important sources of biological and cultural diversity

225
00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:15.720
in the world. It is a
very good sign to the extent that,

226
00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:21.160
yes, it is a window to
see how good this region has in terms

227
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:30.240
of how to move a biodiversity care
agenda in the country. And it was

228
00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:37.640
very interesting to see how, since
Callen put on his shirt to have a

229
00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:44.279
very nice campaign, very ambitious in
the competition of the city selection and so,

230
00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:48.799
an accompaniment to Calli. We are
in a position to make this a

231
00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:56.440
very successful event that has results that
impact on the well- being of the

232
00:20:56.440 --> 00:21:03.799
people of Colombia and the Colombian Pacific, of the WWF. Thank you for

233
00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:07.640
accepting this call from the eco podcast, for telling us a little bit about

234
00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:11.720
what is expected in this Cop Sixteen. Surely, when we are closer to

235
00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:15.680
the date, we will sit again
to review expectations and what we already have

236
00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:21.119
by then, as coordinated for the
meeting, which will be much closer.

237
00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:26.160
Thank you so much for accepting this
invitation. Thank you very much to you

238
00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:30.359
and all the outstanding issues of the
comparison in Colombia. Thank you and we

239
00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:34.240
continue with more information in this chapter
of the RCN RAP PEPE eco podcast.

240
00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:40.039
I propose that we listen to the
director of the Regional Autonomous Corporation of Valle

241
00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:45.119
del Cauca, Marco Antonio Suárez,
who celebrated that Cali is the next headquarters

242
00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:51.799
of CO 16. The official indicated
that the city has the necessary infrastructure for

243
00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:56.559
the realization of this summit. Well, first of all, tell them that

244
00:21:56.680 --> 00:22:02.359
we are proud and happy that Cali
is going to receive COPI sixteen on biodiversity.

245
00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:06.960
Good for the Colombian Pacific, one
of the most biodiverse areas in the

246
00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:12.039
world. What a joy for our
black communities, our indigenous communities, for

247
00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:17.680
our peasants, for our young woman
to roam from the sky. We'

248
00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:19.960
re ready to receive them. We
have all the capacity of the infrastructure,

249
00:22:21.880 --> 00:22:27.160
the knowledge necessary for this historical copsia
not only in our Cali and our Ayal

250
00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:32.000
Cauca, but throughout our country.
What a joy for the Caleños, what

251
00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:36.640
a joy for all our Vallecaucanos,
and that we enjoy that great event that

252
00:22:36.640 --> 00:22:40.680
is going to take place now,
in the month of October of this year,

253
00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:45.000
thanks to all the Caleños, to
all the Vallecaucanos that supported this initiative

254
00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:48.640
and welcome to the COT sixteen for
here Cali is the headquarters of the COT

255
00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:55.599
sixteen and so it should be because
the city of Las Aves, the department

256
00:22:55.680 --> 00:22:59.319
with the most protected areas of our
country. The wealth that our enormous cities

257
00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:03.799
have in the capital by nature of
our Colombian Pacific and, as I expressed

258
00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:08.319
it now, one of the most
biodiverse places in the world, had to

259
00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:18.839
be the headquarters of the sixteen and
in this way we conclude our broadcast today,

260
00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:22.400
not without first thanking, as always, Erlenz and Gutierrez, for accompanying

261
00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:26.880
us in booth to the entire integrated
information system that is under the direction of

262
00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:36.640
Esperanza Rico and in the sound production
to wendy Benavides, thank you Ego Podcast,

263
00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:47.000
because the environment is a theme of
all
