Cop15: historic deal struck to halt biodiversity loss by 2030

Agreement on ’30 by 30’ target forced through by Chinese president, ignoring objections from African states

After four years of negotiations and 12 years since the last biodiversity targets were agreed in Japan, governments appeared to have signed a once-in-a-decade deal to halt the destruction of Earth’s ecosystems after two weeks of intense negotiations at the UN biodiversity summit in Canada.

The potentially transformational agreement for nature could bring better protection for the planet’s vital ecosystems such as the Amazon and Congo basin rainforests, big reforms to agriculture, and better protection of indigenous territories and rights.But there were concerns that key issues had been overlooked and that objections from some African states were ignored.

Talks went into the night on Sunday in Montreal until finally nearly 200 countries – but not the US or the Vatican – signed an agreement to put humanity on a path to living in harmony with nature by the middle of the century.

Negotiators from Cameroon, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo expressed incredulity that the agreement had been put through. The DRC said it had formally objected to the agreement, but a UN lawyer said it had not. The negotiator from Cameroon called it “a fraud”, while Uganda said there had been a “coup d’état” against the Cop15.
