COP17 divided over widening nature funding base
Negotiators at COP17 remain split over proposals to broaden the base of funding for nature and biodiversity protection. Delegates are debating how to mobilise money beyond existing public sources, with disagreements over who should contribute and how new mechanisms would work. The dispute reflects wider tension between wealthy and developing countries over responsibility for financing environmental goals.
Why now: Ongoing COP17 negotiations have exposed disagreement over how to finance biodiversity protection, a key sticking point at the summit.
