The Heat: Protecting Biodiversity | COP17 in Armenia
29m
In 2022, nations adopted the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, setting 23 targets to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030, including protecting and restoring 30% of land, sea, and ecosystems.
A new UN report finds fewer than half of assessed national targets are on track, and leaders at COP17 are now working to accelerate efforts to protect vulnerable wildlife and ecosystems. #COP17 #Biodiversity #Yerevan #ClimateChange #Heat
