UN summit ends without agreement on biodiversity funding

  • The UN summit on nature conservation in Cali, Colombia, ended without reaching an agreement on biodiversity funding for species protection, after almost two weeks of discussions.
  • Delegates did agree to create a permanent advisory body for Indigenous peoples concerning issues relevant to them, along with a fund for profit-sharing from genetic data.
  • Despite plans proposed to protect nature, the governments failed to secure the necessary funding, as over a quarter of assessed species are now at risk of extinction.
