KuCoin

Cryptocurrency trading platform KuCoin lists more than 200 digital assets for trading. According to CoinGecko, an online cryptocurrency data service, it was the fifth most active trading platform in the world on September 28, 2020.
The company website says, "KuCoin operates in Seychelles, providing users with multi-language and 24/7 customer service. Meanwhile, KuCoin has established local communities in South Korea, Japan, Spain, Italy, Vietnam, Turkey, Russia, India, and other regions . . ." Singapore, which is not mentioned by KuCoin on its website as a company location, took action against the company in March 2020 to block it from moving assets from the jurisdiction. Shortly before the government's legal action against KuCoin, the company issued a rare press release from Victoria, Seychelles, about corporate organizational matters.
In an August 12, 2018 announcement the company claimed that it operates out Singapore. The issue of the company's location became increasingly important as its activities began to be investigated by regulators and potential claimants in U.S. class actions filed in March 2020 against KuCoin. 
In a series of announcements on September 26, 2020, the company revealed that it had lost $150 million of bitcoin and Ether in a hack of its hot wallets. KuCoin said that it would reimburse any customer losses. In November 2020, KuCoin CEO and Co-Founder Johnny Lyu said that 84 percent of the stolen assets had been recovered via "approaches like on-chain tracking, contract upgrade and judicial recovery."

Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework

The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework is a United Nations agreement to jointly safeguard nature that was reached on December 19, 2022, at the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP15). The agreement seeks to protect 30 percent of the planet’s land and oceans by 2030 and to take other measures against biodiversity loss.
 
 
The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) is a suite of 23 environmental targets agreed upon by the 196 countries that participate in the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP15). The United States and the Holy See are the only two countries in the world that are not party to the Convention on Biological Diversity.
The countries in the COP15 have committed to reducing to “near zero” the loss of areas of wildlife-rich habitat. They also agreed to reduce by $500 billion a year government subsidies that harm nature, which are currently an estimated $1.8 trillion. At the core of the global biodiversity framework is a clear goal to halt and reverse nature loss by 2030. The most prominent is known as 30x30 and would place 30 percent of land and sea under protection. This so-called 30x30 goal is regarded as nature’s equivalent of the 1.5-degree goal at the heart of the Paris Agreement. The goal is to act quickly enough to prevent what scientists see as sixth mass-extinction event, during which more than 1 million species could vanish by the century's end. 
Under the agreement, large companies and financial institutions are subject to disclose relevant aspects of their operations, supply chains and portfolios. The word "mandatory" was dropped from previous drafts, which was seen as a flaw.
The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework contains four goals to be achieved by 2050 and 23 targets. On its website, Euronext summarized the four goals in this way:
* Halt human-induced extinction of species;
* Value, maintain and enhance biodiversity;
* Share the benefits from the utilization of genetic resources;
* Make means of implementing the GBF accessible to developing countries.
