Big forested countries such as China, Brazil and Indonesia are yet to join the coalition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbd.int\/doc\/c\/abb5\/591f\/2e46096d3f0330b08ce87a45\/wg2020-03-03-en.pdf\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">draft<\/span><\/a> <span data-contrast=\"auto\">prepared in the lead up to the event remains disputed. Initially the text was \u201ctechnically quite good\u201d said Brian O\u2019Donnell, director of the advocacy organization Campaign for Nature. But \u201cwe\u2019ve had two years of online negotiations.

That is not good,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>There were some signs of that changing when Cop27 talks concluded in Egypt on Sunday. In a first for the UN climate process, the Sharm el-Sheikh Implentation Plan <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LeoHickman\/status\/1594235482803683330\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">encouraged countries<\/a> to consider &#8220;nature-based solutions or ecosystem-based approaches&#8221; to climate action.<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In the past decade, countries agreed to a ten-year plan called the Aichi targets, aimed at halting biodiversity loss. A UN summary <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbd.int\/gbo5#:~:text=Global%20Biodiversity%20Outlook%20(GBO)%20is,further%20implementation%20of%20the%20Convention.\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">report<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> shows countries failed to meet a single one of those targets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201c(Countries) set these strategies only once a decade. The past strategy failed and so this is the time to get it right. Biodiversity is declining too rapidly,\u201d said O\u2019Donnell.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Funding gap<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Rodr\u00edguez explained the lack of sufficient funds was one of the main reasons for the failure of the Aichi targets. That will be key this time around, both in setting up the agreement but also in its implementation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Even if an agreement is reached, \u201cit\u2019s still just paper\u201d, said Rodriguez. \u201cImplementing (the targets) requires public policies and strong institutions. But many countries require investments to build those capacities in the first place,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The latest draft includes the target of mobilizing $200 billion per year, \u201c<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">including new, additional and effective financial resources\u201d. To Ramakrishna, the Montreal summit \u201ccould be a Paris moment if we get the resolution on finance\u201d.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Crucially, a deal on finance must phase out subsidies for nature-destructive practices, Rodriguez said. This was also one of the Aichi targets, but \u201crelatively few countries have taken steps even to identify incentives that harm biodiversity,\u201d the UN summary report says.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cHarmful subsidies far outweigh positive incentives in areas such as fisheries and the control of deforestation,\u201d adds the report. The draft deal includes the goal of reducing these subsidies by $500 billion per year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Other critical issues remain contested, among them the use of genetic resources. African countries have called on developed nations to pay for genetic information on their biodiversity, which is used in industries such as pharmaceutical companies. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">However, in the preliminary round of negotiations in Nairobi this year, countries did not agree on this issue. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cop15 biodiversity negotiations in Montreal next month will determine how the world halts and reverses nature loss","protected":false},"author":88,"featured_media":47643,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[485,4231,3864],"tags":[49,9],"coauthors":[4904],"class_list":["post-47622","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-forests","category-land","category-nature","tag-biodiversity","tag-nature","type-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>UN biodiversity talks near &#039;make or break&#039;
