Australia named as one of the world's worst performers on biodiversity

WWF rates Australia a zero due to the absence of biodiversity measures in our Paris climate change commitments

Australia has been named as one of the worst performers among a group of 100 nations due to the absence of biodiversity measures in our climate change commitments, according to a new report by WWF.

The report, published this week during the conference of parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity in Egypt, examines whether climate commitments from countries under the Paris agreement also offer benefits for nature and biodiversity.
