Countries reach COP17 deal to speed up biodiversity action, but money still short
- On Saturday, October 31, nearly 200 nations adopted the Yerevan Pathway at COP17 in Yerevan, Armenia, establishing measurable priorities through 2030 to accelerate biodiversity action after a global review found most targets off-track.
- Following a United Nations assessment revealing 22 of the 23 Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework targets remain off-track, the agreement prompts nations to urgently reform harmful subsidies and align national spending with conservation goals.
- Although COP17 secured more than $1.8 billion in new commitments, the Cali Fund holds only $10,000 against its $1 billion annual goal, illustrating the persistent shortfall in reaching the $200 billion requirement.
- Delegates confirmed that Ecuador will host the next biodiversity talks in 2028, defeating rival candidate Panama in a secret vote to determine the venue for COP18.
- Describing the outcome as "too timid," the Wildlife Conservation Society argued the pathway relies on voluntary guidelines rather than mandatory action to address the biodiversity crisis before 2030.
