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

$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.
