UN Review Finds Most Countries Off Track on 2030 Biodiversity Targets Ahead of COP17
Ahead of COP17 in Yerevan, the UN's first major review of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework reveals that nearly 90 countries have set biodiversity targets, but fewer than half are on track to meet them by 2030. While progress includes plans to protect 30% of land and sea, funding gaps persist, with only $75-92 billion raised annually against a $200 billion goal. Discussions focus on accelerating implementation, reforming harmful subsidies, and mobilizing finance to halt biodiversity loss and support ecosystem health.
