Governments continue to provide billions of dollars in tax breaks, subsidies and other spending that directly work against the goals of the 2015 Paris climate agreement and the 2022 Kunming -Montreal agreement to halt biodiversity loss.

Examples include state support for large fishing vessels that drive overfishing and government policies that subsidise petrol, synthetic fertilisers and monoculture crop production.
