NEWS DIGEST | Bonn Climate Talks

Last week, UN climate talks in Bonn ended with major issues still unresolved ahead of COP31.

Negotiators failed to reach agreement on key areas including adaptation finance, emissions-cutting work, and how climate science should guide decisions. Climate Home News described the talks as ending in ‘gridlock’.

The divide is familiar but urgent: developing countries are calling for stronger finance to adapt to climate impacts, while wealthier countries continue to push emissions-cutting negotiations.

One area did move to the center of the conversation: electrification. Turkey and Australia pushed for a target of 35% of final energy use to come from electricity by 2035. This was one aspect of practical direction in an otherwise stalled negotiation.

The talks at Bonn show that action is no longer dependent on whether governments are willing to set climate goals, but whether they will deliver them.

NEWS DIGEST | Red List of Threatened Species The latest update lists 49,505 threatened species – from deep-sea vents to desert dunes. A snapshot of biodiversity under pressure, and what's still possible. 🌊🐸 @environment.theguardian.com @reuters.com @sscmarine.bsky.social #ClimateAction #EcoNews

The latest IUCN Red List update shows biodiversity under growing pressure across land and the deep ocean.

The update now lists 49,505 threatened species out of 175,909 assessed. It also highlights the human activities driving biodiversity loss, including mining, habitat destruction, infrastructure development, trade, and resource extraction.

In the deep sea, 62% of mollusc species living around hydrothermal vents are now considered at risk, largely because of potential deep-sea mining. On land, the desert rain frog is now listed as vulnerable, with diamond mining, development, energy infrastructure, and the exotic pet trade threatening its limited habitat in southern Africa.

The Red List is not only a record of species at risk. It also shows that conservation works. In Australia, the numbat, a native mammal that feeds mainly on termites, has moved from endangered to near threatened after decades of predator control and habitat protection.

Protecting nature is possible, but action must come before ecosystems are pushed beyond recovery.
