Briefings

Carbon Brief analysis reveals 113 countries have submitted new biodiversity pledges since COP16, representing 58% of UN parties. This follows a 2022 agreement to reverse nature loss by 2030, with 119 parties producing national targets by COP16's end. Progress has accelerated from 55 nations a year ago to 175 by the end of the summit, though four megadiverse nations remain without new pledges.

Key points

• 113 countries have submitted new national biodiversity strategies and action plans (NBSAPs) since COP16, representing 58% of UN parties.
• By the end of COP16, 175 countries had produced at least one national target, marking an 89% increase from the 55 nations a year prior.

Context

The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) requires nations to reverse nature loss by 2030. COP16 in October 2024 urged countries to submit new NBSAPs, with 113 nations now complying. The GBF includes 23 targets covering ecosystems, climate change, and finance for developing nations.

Limitations

Data covers only countries that submitted new pledges; four megadiverse nations (Papua New Guinea, Peru, South Africa, US) have not yet released new NBSAPs. Some African and South American nations have since published plans after COP16, but the initial snapshot reflects the 2024 summit submission period.
