Welcome to Biodiversity Day!

Against the wider backdrop of serious questions being raised about the ultimate COP outcome,  on the nature side of things, week 2 kicked off with countries being urged to further endorse and sign onto the 10 point finance plan to bridge the finance biodiversity gap.

The tracker shows some good progress across a number of different sectors, but there is much more to do. Overall it tracks 80 commitments so far and finds that 55% demonstrate substantial signs of progress or completion, while 45% show only small signs of progress or no progress at all.

Despite some early signs of progress, such as developed countries’ willingness to engage on loss & damage, there is less to report than many had hoped on some of the summit’s key themes, including implementation, finance, and adaptation.
