Official logo for 17th Conference of  Parties to Convention on  Biological Diversity (COP-17)  presented in Armenia

ArmInfo. The official logo for the 17th Conference of the Parties to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (COP-17), to be held in Yerevan from October 18 to 30, 2026, has been presented in Armenia. The logo features the blue butterfly, an endemic species listed in the Red Book and  characteristic of the Armenian highlands , as reported by the press  service of the Ministry of Environment of the Republic of Armenia.

According to the source, the visual identity of COP-17 is based on  the idea of the butterfly's life cycle: egg, larva, pupa, and flight.  This concept symbolizes the continuity, diversity, and resilience of  natural systems.  The butterfly's silhouette  is composed of 23  colors representing the objectives of the Global Biodiversity  Framework, with one primary blue color symbolizing the butterfly's  unique  identity. This color scheme emphasizes the conference's main   focus: promoting the sustainability and vitality of nature through  action.

The motto of  COP-17, "Act for Nature," reflects the essence of  modern environmental policy, calling for a shift from initiatives to  targeted and coordinated action.
