KUALA LUMPUR – Securing an ambitious new global pact to protect nature at a U.N. biodiversity summit later this year will require stronger political leadership from host nation China, officials and observers have warned.
About 195 countries are expected to agree the text of a new treaty to safeguard the planet’s plants, animals and ecosystems, similar to the Paris climate accord, at U.N. talks scheduled for October in the southern Chinese city of Kunming.
But the prospects of sealing a deal at the COP15 summit already postponed twice due to the COVID-19 pandemic are dwindling unless in-person talks can happen, U.N. officials say.
