Significant events

• “2024 was an important year for international biodiversity policy, capped by the Convention of Biological Diversity COP16, which took place in Cali, Colombia in October.”
• “Throughout 2024, WCMC also continued its work with the business and finance sectors. We further developed the ENCORE tool which enables companies to visualise their environmental impacts and dependencies and take action to reduce them.”
• “A landmark decision was the creation of a permanent subsidiary body to secure the full participation of IPLCs in CBD processes. This historic shift builds on years of work under Article 8(j) and will enable more inclusive biodiversity governance.”
• “The purpose of the entity [WCMC Europe] was to mitigate against funding reduction risk as a result of the UK Government's decision to leave the European Union. Now the impacts of Brexit are better known, this entity is no longer required and on 25 September 2024, the WCMC UK Board agreed to close the Europe entity in August 2025.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
