RT by @EU_ENV: Ahead of #COP17Armenia, #EUGreenWeek 2026 is casting a timely spotlight on the business case for investing in nature.

Businesses that thrive in harmony with nature are part of the whole-of-society push we need for the implementation of the Global Biodiversity Framework #KMGBF.

Today is the International Day for #BiologicalDiversity!

The #RedListIndex of #ThreatenedSpecies shows a continuous #decline from 0.805 in 1995 to 0.745 in 2025📉 (UN).

This negative #trend is not in line with the aim of @UN #SDG15 to “halt the #loss of #biodiversity”⛔.

The government's spending on harming nature

"For the first time, research published this year, identified 36 federal subsidies worth $26.3 billion annually that are potentially harmful to biodiversity. Fossil fuel subsidies alone account for $14.1 billion. It is extraordinary the Australian Government believes it can exclude fossil fuel subsidies on the basis of a technicality. Meanwhile, independent estimates place federal biodiversity conservation spending at below $1 billion annually. "

"The arithmetic is stark: the government spent more than $26 billion a year on harming nature, less than $1 billion conserving it. No government serious about halting biodiversity loss would preside over such an imbalance and say they were “on track”. >>

Biodiversity-harmful subsidies in Australia

Australia claims it is ‘on track’ to save nature. We disagree

"Ecosystems are being left to degrade, rare and precious species are sliding toward extinction, and billions of dollars are being used to quietly fund subsidies, including for fossil fuels, which contribute to the very destruction the government claims to be fixing."

"Australia already holds the world’s worst record for modern mammal extinctions – 38 species lost since colonisation, more than any other country. Against that grim inheritance, having no further extinctions (that we know about) is a remarkably low bar."

1. Restoration: not enough done, and the report knows it
2. Protected areas: national figures mask failures
3. Threatened species: declining, not recovering
4. Harmful fossil fuel subsidies hidden, conservation spending inflated

"This new report confirms those weaknesses extend to Australia’s self-assessment, which lacks the rigour and ambition the nature crisis demands.The reforms of Australia’s nature laws, passed in late 2025, are the most significant in a generation, and we welcome them. But legislation without implementation, adequate funding or a delivery plan is not enough."

"This important report – with its hidden subsidies, inflated spending figures, missing implementation plan, and a definition of “on track” that mistakes promises for progress – is not worthy of a nation with both the means and the obligation to lead." >>

🧊 #BCubed online training happening tomorrow: Occurrence cubes and biological invasions

📍27 February, 15:00 CET

Delve into details of the Invasibility Cube which integrates trait, environmental and community species data to quantify invasion fitness, and generate spatial indicators of site invasibility and species and/or trait invasiveness. The b3alien #Python package will also be covered, which provides a technical solution to track Target 6 of the #KMGBF.

🌍 After a disappointing COP16 in Cali, major strides were made in Rome last week: 1️⃣ $200B/year biodiversity funding by 2030, with new private investment channels. 2️⃣ Enhanced monitoring with common tools to track progress on global biodiversity targets. 3️⃣ Launch of the Cali Fund, linking business use of genetic resources to funding for biodiversity projects. #Biodiversity2025 #ecosystemrestoration #KMGBF #UNCBD https://www.environewsnigeria.com/govts-agree-on-way-forward-to-mobilise-resources-needed-to-protect-biodiversity-for-people-planet/

🐒 This week negotiations from #COP16Colombia concluded in Rome, with key decisions to drive the adoption of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework being discussed.

Topics included resource mobilization, the GBF monitoring framework, and financial mechanisms for implementing proposed policies.🌎

Nature Positive
Australia's collapsing ecosystems declared a 'critical infrastructure'

Australia has destroyed and degraded nature. The remaining collapsing ecosystems are declared a 'critical infrastructure'. This new system of governance to organise life is framed as a 'Nature Positive' policy with the help of a large consulting business.

The remaining nature is now a market not a common good and has no rights (Rights of Nature laws). The ‘more-than-human-worlds’ becomes a market of 'ecosystem services' to serve a few of the human species. Nature is now a mere 'essential infrastructure' like roads, highway, sewers, sewage etc.

Women Lead at United Nations #COP16 #Biodiversity Conference in Colombia

by #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Oct. 22, 2024

"Osprey Orielle Lake, spoke on the revolutionary change needed, including the rights of nature law. She is asking the governments of the world to adopt a universal declaration on the rights of nature at the conference today. She said it is time to put #MotherEarth at the center of decisions, not financial institutions."

"#CaseyCampHorinek, #Ponca, is at COP16 in Cali, Colombia today. "The Ponca Nation is on the ground here at COP16 in Colombia, trying to raise up the issue of #FalseSolutions to the climate conference, like #CarbonCredits and #BiodiversityCredits that are killing #nature.' She said #FossilFuels must be phased out.

"The #PoncaNation is among the nations of the world that have followed #Ecuador's lead and recognized the #RightsOfNature by law.
Casey Camp-Horinek, Ponca, spoke today on false solutions, including carbon credits which allow #corporations to continue and #pollute. 'Don't give them permission to murder.'"
