Briefings
Leaders at the UN biodiversity summit in Armenia agreed to accelerate conservation efforts after failing to meet 2030 targets. Representatives from nearly 200 countries gathered in Yerevan to review progress on a landmark agreement from four years ago, which aimed to protect one-third of the world's land and seas by 2030. The summit concluded with a recognition that current conservation efforts were too slow to achieve the goals of the 2022 Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.
