近200个国家代表在亚美尼亚首都耶雷万经过持续近两周的磋商，于周六凌晨就新的自然行动计划达成一致 1。此次会议旨在推进2022年签署的《全球生物多样性框架》，该框架设定了到2030年将30%的土地和海洋纳入保护的24项具体目标 1。尽管各方承认未能如期实现既定目标——联合国指出目前世界仅在其中一个目标上按计划推进，且物种灭绝速度达到自然速率的100倍——但谈判在减少有害补贴及筹集恢复资金方面取得了进展 1。
会议承诺投入超过10亿美元用于自然恢复行动，其中半数资金来自慈善家，包括演员莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥支持的Re:wild组织等机构 1。数据显示，目前已成功保护6.23亿英亩退化土地 1。然而，相较于原计划在本十年末需投入300亿美元公共资金并动员1700亿美元私人资金的巨大需求，当前的资金支持力度仍存在显著缺口 1。
谈判过程中还出现了关于科学评估报告批准流程的争议。据报道，沙特阿拉伯和俄罗斯等国阻碍了相关科学报告的批准进程 1。野生动物信托基金会首席执行官克雷格·贝内特（Craig Bennett）对现状表示担忧：“我们仍然目睹着令人震惊的损失，这威胁到全球生态系统的崩溃。” 1 曼彻斯特大学教授大卫·李（David Lee）则批评称：“这是一个如此赤裸裸的政治举动……政府间气候变化专门委员会（IPCC）绝非进行此类政治操纵的场所。” 1
Representatives from nearly 200 nations concluded negotiations in Yerevan, Armenia, early Saturday morning after a two-week session, reaching an agreement on a new nature action plan. 1 Although delegates acknowledged that the goals of the 2022 Global Biodiversity Framework—which aims to protect 30% of land and oceans by 2030 through 24 targets—have not been met, progress was made regarding harmful subsidies and financing. 1 According to the United Nations, the world is currently on track to meet only one of these objectives, while species extinction rates remain 100 times higher than natural levels. 1
Participants committed over $1 billion to nature restoration, with half of the funds contributed by philanthropists, including Leonardo DiCaprio’s Re:wild organization. 1 This amount falls significantly short of the original plan to invest $30 billion in public funding and mobilize $170 billion in private capital by the end of the decade, leaving financial support as a major obstacle. 1 Existing initiatives have protected 623 million acres of degraded land to date. 1
Friction arose during the proceedings when countries such as Saudi Arabia and Russia reportedly blocked the approval of scientific reports. 1 Professor David Lee of Manchester University criticized this obstruction, stating, “This is such a blatant political move...and the IPCC is no such place for such political manoeuvring...” 1 Craig Bennett, CEO of The Wildlife Trusts, highlighted the severity of the situation, warning, “We are still seeing an appalling loss, threatening the collapse of ecosystems globally.” 1
