COP17 Adopts Yerevan Pathway to Accelerate Biodiversity Action Amid Funding Gaps
The 17th Conference of Parties (COP17) to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity concluded in Yerevan after extended negotiations, adopting the Yerevan Pathway to accelerate biodiversity conservation efforts through 2030. While countries agreed on increased funding mechanisms, including voluntary contributions from companies using genetic resources, and prioritized reducing harmful subsidies, many targets remain unmet and funding gaps persist. Indigenous rights and equitable benefit sharing saw limited progress amid disagreements. Delegates acknowledged the need for stronger implementation ahead of COP18 in 2028.
