In this episode of How Could We?, Sebastian Bustamente from EIT Climate-KIC joins us from Cali, Colombia, where COP16, the UN’s Biodiversity Summit, is underway.

This episode is all about biodiversity. We discuss the goals of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and the challenges of turning those ambitious commitments into implementation.

Sebastián shares insights into his work with Climate-KIC's fundraising task force and his experience at COP16, where intense discussions on conservation, finance mobilisation, and community involvement are shaping the biodiversity landscape.

He introduces climate SAFE, which provides innovative financial solutions for climate start-ups, and reflects on the importance of partnerships between the public, private, and community sectors to drive change.
