High-level meeting of UN

A United Nations convention on biodiversity, which brought together government officials, environmentalists and entrepreneurs from around the world, wrapped up its 19-day run on Friday by adopting the "Pyeongchang Roadmap."
   The 12th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, dubbed COP 12, kicked off with a ceremony on Sept. 29, with about 25,000 representatives from 194 countries gathering at the alpine city of Pyeongchang.
Organizers said the roadmap, named after the eastern city 182 kilometers from Seoul, is expected to help countries map a step-by-step action plan to fulfill their biodiversity goals.
