COP17 biodiversity talks conclude in Yerevan, Armenia
At U.N. biodiversity talks in Yerevan, Armenia's capital, countries renewed their pledges to protect wildlife. How to pay for those efforts remains unresolved.
United Nations biodiversity talks known as COP17, the 17th session of the conference, have concluded in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia. Participating countries renewed their promises to protect wildlife. The outcome matters because pledges can be hard to carry out without clear agreement on who pays for them.
According to The New York Times, the main unresolved question is financing: countries have still not settled how to cover the costs of nature protection.
