GoKawiilUN biodiversity summit in Yerevan adopts new plan after missing 2030 targets
Nearly 200 countries meeting in Yerevan for COP17 acknowledged that conservation efforts have fallen short of the 2030 goal to protect a third of the world's land and seas under the 2022 Kunming-Montreal framework. Delegates agreed on the 'Yerevan Pathway,' a plan to speed up action before the next summit in Ecuador in two years, focusing on cutting harmful subsidies, boosting support for developing nations, and improving monitoring.
