COP17 Yerevan: Nations agree to accelerate nature action amid funding and political deadlock

COP17 in Yerevan concluded with a global review confirming the world is off-track for 22 of 23 biodiversity targets by 2030. Nations agreed to accelerate action but failed to resolve key funding mechanisms, including the near-empty Cali Fund for genetic resources. The summit highlighted deep divisions over who should pay for nature protection, with developed nations pushing to broaden the donor base while emerging economies resisted. Despite political friction, delegates adopted a new action plan and selected Ecuador to host the next summit in 2028.

Armenia’s European Breakthrough Highlighted by Macron at EPC Summit

At the European Political Community summit in Yerevan, French President Emmanuel Macron cast Armenia’s turn toward Europe as a 'new era,' enjoying a hero’s welcome as Armenians sang La Marseillaise and even joined him in an improvised piano jam. The EPC, Macron’s creation after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, gathers European states outside Russia and Belarus, and he argued Armenia’s pivot from Moscow signals a broader regional realignment toward Europe with focus on security, energy solidarity, and democratic resilience. Armenia’s disenchantment with Russia persists despite CSTO ties and a Russian base, while Macron and Armenian leaders exchanged high honors; domestically, Macron’s approval remains low in France even as EU audiences track stronger support for him.
