The many conferences and world leaders climate change meetings have yielded into treaties and action plans to safeguard planet earth. Sadly very few countries/nations are committed to take serious actions towards the realization of targets and goals adopted.
Case in point is the COP 15 adoption of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). Among the twenty-three targets which were to be achieved by 2030 include 30 per cent conservation of land, sea and inland waters, 30 per cent restoration of degraded ecosystems, halving the introduction of invasive species, and $500 billion/year reduction in harmful subsidies. This treaty is regarded to as 30x30.
With only six years to go, in Africa, out of 54 nations, only Uganda has taken serious steps to revise and update its National Biodiversity Strategy and action plans. One is left wondering what the other nations are waiting for. Are they concerned or why is there a disconnect.?

It's alarming that only Uganda has updated its National Biodiversity Strategy while the Kunming-Montreal framework's targets remain largely unaddressed in Africa. With biodiversity loss accelerating, the lack of urgency raises concerns about the commitment to global sustainability goals. Will other nations step up in time?

It is concerning that so few countries are taking meaningful action on biodiversity. Uganda's commitment stands out as a crucial example, to be followed!

@gorffly_mokua Absolutely, Uganda's proactive stance should inspire other nations to prioritize biodiversity. Without broader action, the 30x30 goals may be missed, jeopardizing both ecosystems and future sustainability.
