UN Nature Summit Ends With Pledge to Get Targets on Track

Talks at the COP17 UN biodiversity summit in Yerevan, Armenia, ran overnight and ended Saturday morning, with nearly 200 countries agreeing to ramp up action on the 2030 nature targets they are badly behind on. They reaffirmed a goal of raising biodiversity finance to $30 billion a year by the end of the decade. Ecuador will host the next summit in 2028. France’s ecological transition minister said the outcome was “not commensurate” with the crisis.
