# A study comparing media coverage of COP15, COP27, and Taylor Swift found biodiversity issues received significantly less attention than climate change and pop culture. Despite COP15’s adoption of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, it had far fewer media stories than COP27 and even Swift’s October 2022 album release. Researchers highlight that biodiversity loss, though critical, lacks clear narratives and dramatic events that attract media focus. Greater media coverage is urged to raise awareness and mobilise action for biodiversity conservation.
