Asia Pacific‘s leading platform for sustainable development
Opinion / #natural resources
The first report card on the implementation of the Kunming-Montreal framework was issued at this year’s UN Biodiversity Conference in Yerevan, and the marks were dismal. The problem is not a lack of targets, but a global financial system that pays to destroy nature and penalises those who protect it.

Nature can’t wait
Although the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine are spurring governments to increase spending on defence and focus more on economic growth, it would be a mistake to postpone investments designed to protect nature. In fact, meeting internationally agreed targets could add up to US$450 billion to annual global GDP by 2050.
The downlisting of recovering species can put conservation gains at risk when funding systems shift resources to species facing higher extinction risks.
China is progressing towards the 30x30 target but concerns over livelihoods are hampering progress.
