In this episode of the Perspective Prog. Based on ‘Historic Biodiversity Deal’. After more than four years of negotiations, nearly 200 countries have approved a historic deal to protect and reverse dangerous loss to global biodiversity. The agreement at the COP15 UN biodiversity summit in Montreal, Canada, sets 23 targets and 4 goals aimed at safeguarding biodiversity. The most significant part of the deal is a commitment to protect 30% of land and water by 2030. Currently, 17% of terrestrial and 10% of marine areas are protected. The 23 targets in the accord also include cutting farming subsidies, reducing the risk from pesticides, and tackling invasive species. Besides, the deal also commits to progressively increase the level of financial resources from all sources by 2030, mobilising at least 200 billion dollars per year. Hailed as a landmark deal, it is being compared to the Paris Agreement, which is the international treaty on climate change to limit global temperature rises to 1.5C. With an eminent panel of experts, we’ll analyse the key points of the biodiversity deal, the ambitious targets that it has set by 2030 and some of the concerns of developing countries that it has not factored in.
