What does this mean for Barbados? "The world is losing biodiversity, the variety of all life on earth, at an alarming rate," says the International Institute for Sustainable Development in its report on the 15th Conference of the Parties (COP15) of the Convention on Biodiversity (CBD) where the GBF was adopted on December 19th.
