AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoBiodiversity: A UN report warns that fewer than half of national targets to protect nature are on track. Even if current pledges are met, protected areas would cover just 26% of land and 12% of oceans by 2030. Ahead of COP17 in Yerevan, leaders adopted a declaration urging faster action. Forest Loss: About 1,800 hectares of native forest were cleared beside a protected area in Argentina’s Chaco, despite rules banning deforestation there. Conservation groups are calling for urgent intervention. Climate & Food: Rising CO₂ is changing wheat proteins, a shift that could affect grain quality and people with some food-related disorders. Clean Energy Finance: US green banks are still funding solar, efficiency and climate-resilience projects despite federal climate-funding cuts, turning to private and philanthropic partners to fill gaps. Forest Research: A 24-year study found methane absorption by forest soils rose at sites in southwestern Germany, with warmer, drier conditions linked to the increase—a finding that may not apply to forests everywhere.
