The UN biodiversity conference COP17 concluded in Yerevan, with key outcomes agreed upon to boost conservation and funding for nature, per Carbon Brief.

UNEP Executive Director's statement emphasized the importance of subsidy and incentive reform as a necessary driver of biodiversity finance, Bloomberg reports.

While the summit put forth a clearer picture of the biodiversity crisis, experts note it fell short on ambition to solve the issue, as noted by WCS Newsroom.
