Colombia is hosting the United Nations COP16 biodiversity conference in Cali , Colombia .

President Gustavo Petro has put climate change at the forefront of his agenda since coming to power in 2022 .

Despite many achievements in his first two years in office, President Petro 's government still faces a number of obstacles before being able to fulfill one of his key campaign goals.

Greenpeace's Andes region expects Colombia to lead by example at this year 's biodiversity conference.

Colombia has proven itself to be one of the most progressive countries both symbolically and practically in advancing conservation and anti-climate change action.

COP16 will be a test of whether or not it can lead other countries to follow suit.
