Geneva: It emerged on March 29 that Negotiations on an ambitious biodiversity deal to halt or reverse nature loss drew to a close in Switzerland. The Geneva meeting of around 1,000 negotiators from 164 countries was meant to be the last before the postponed U.N. Conference on Biodiversity, but it produced no result. Greenpeace East Asia senior policy adviser Li Shuo said the process was “on shaky ground”. “This process has so far been ill-designed and underwhelming,” he added.
