TOUS 4800 COP17 l Union europeenne veut faire contribuer les grandes puissances emergentes

Meeting in Yerevan, Armenia, for COP17 on biodiversity, countries are divided on how to finance nature conservation. The European Union wants to broaden the list of contributors to include major emerging economies, particularly China, as well as the Gulf states. Brussels believes that the current distribution of financial efforts no longer reflects global economic realities. However, this proposal is facing resistance from several states, while the funding gap for biodiversity is estimated at several hundred billion dollars per year.
