The COP15 Biodiversity summit in Montreal, Canada is set to begin today. 

The conference of parties is set to specifically target issues of biodiversity and how it links to improving our climate. 

The conference was initially meant to take place in China a couple years ago, but was delayed and eventually relocated due to covid restrictions. 

To learn about the conference's big issues, Liam spoke to Stephen Hartley, from Victoria University of Wellington about the current state of Biodiversity and what this conference should aim to achieve.
