- The United Nations’ efforts to address critical environmental challenges have hit multiple roadblocks last year, with four key summits failing to deliver meaningful outcomes.
- They are - in Colombia on biodiversity, Azerbaijan on climate, Saudi Arabia on land degradation, and South Korea on plastics.
- The Colombia talks on biodiversity conservation faltered as countries failed to agree on financing mechanisms to support sustainable land-use practices.
- In Azerbaijan, countries were divided over the pledge to transition away from fossil fuels, a decision made during the last UN climate summit.
- In Saudi Arabia, the industrialised nations clashed with African countries over the establishment of a legally binding drought protocol.
- The plastic pollution talks in South Korea also brought to the fore a significant divide among participating nations.
