At #COP17, the EEA & Council of Europe & the Environment

How can global biodiversity goals translate into forest-level action? 🌳

At #COP17 in Armenia, #PEFC will contribute to three discussions on how sustainable forest management and certification can help turn biodiversity commitments into practice.

Ab Montag wird bei der #COP17 in Jerewan über den Schutz unserer Artenvielfalt verhandelt. Die bisherige Umsetzung des Weltnaturabkommens reicht nicht aus, um die Ziele 2030 zu erreichen. Wir fordern daher eine Kurskorrektur und wirksame Maßnahmen - auch für Österreich ➡️ www.wwf.at/weltnaturkon...

Zur Weltnaturkonferenz #COP17 in Jerewan fordern wir von Bundesregierung verbindliche Maßnahmen zum Schutz der Biodiversität, insbesondere ein wirksames Gesetz für die Natürliche Infrastruktur. Bisherige Bemühungen gegen Artensterben reichen nicht aus! www.duh.de/presse/press...

Progress towards #30x30.

The world is losing ground in protecting nature: fewer than half of national targets are on track, the UN warns

Even if current commitments are met, only 26% of land and 12% of the ocean would be protected by 2030, short of the 30% goal

"The Path Forward:
There are four critical components.
- Mitigation hierarchy.
- Policy coherence.
- Biodiversity-inclusive spatial planning.
- Equitable governance".

$595 BILLION. That’s how much banks have financed companies driving biodiversity destruction in tropical regions since 2016. Finance is fuelling the crisis. It’s time to make banks accountable. #COP17

Heading to Yerevan, to participate in the #COP17, with a key input from the @unbiodiversity.bsky.social team: the state of Biodiversity action, taking stocktake of progress since the Kunning-Montreal goals were adopted!

Better biodiversity decision-making for business is the focus of a new report, launched to coincide with #COP17 Based on new research, it uses scenarios to guide businesses' conservation action for greater progress on global goals for nature recovery.

I like that Antonio Guterres is a straight shooter — calling out the power imbalances harming/blocking action to protect nature in a pre-COP17 press conference right now launching the official report on progress on the 23 Global Biodiversity Framework targets at the halfway point to 2030. #COP17.

Was wird bei #COP17 zur globalen #Biodiversität wichtig? Im Press Briefing diskutierten Forschende Umsetzung des Kunming-Montreal-Rahmens, nationale Strategien, Verantwortung für 30x30-Schutzgebiete, Finanzierung, Abbau schädlicher Subventionen & Monitoring: sciencemediacenter.de/angebote/was...
