Ocean Action Boosted in Africa as Biodiversity Leaders Call for Urgent Synergy, Funding Reform

June 13, 2025 • By Kizito Makoye

The UN Ocean Conference has concluded with a flurry of voluntary commitments and political declarations to conserve marine biodiversity. The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework sets out 23 urgent action targets to be achieved by 2030, including protecting and restoring ecosystems, halting species extinction, and mitigating climate impacts. However, funding gaps and harmful subsidies remain significant challenges, with speakers warning that ambition alone is not enough. The private sector needs to move beyond viewing biodiversity as a philanthropic cause and invest in nature-based solutions. The upcoming COP17 summit in 2026 will be a crucial moment to assess progress and reinforce linkages with the new High Seas Treaty. Officials are urging all parties to submit their updated plans and reports by February 2026, as the clock is ticking to meet the 2030 biodiversity targets.

Unleashing Europe’s biotech prowess requires radical reinvention
Unleashing Europe’s biotech prowess requires radical reinvention

June 13, 2025 • By Bill Anderson

The CEO of Bayer, Bill Anderson, argues that Europe is losing ground in innovation, particularly in the life sciences industry, to the US and China. He cites the decline in new medicines originating from Europe, from 50% in the 1990s to 20% today. Anderson attributes this decline to excessive regulation, which hinders the growth of startups and innovation. He suggests that Europe needs to simplify its regulatory environment, invest in research and development, and provide robust IP protection to attract high-risk investors. Anderson also emphasizes the need for a "distinctly European course correction" to unleash the continent's innovative spirit, rather than trying to replicate the US model. He believes that with the right mindset and conditions, Europe can produce world-changing innovation and become a hub for biotech and life sciences.

Weekly schizophrenia pill produces promising results in final-stage trial
Weekly schizophrenia pill produces promising results in final-stage trial

June 13, 2025 • By Paul McClure

A Phase 3 clinical trial has found that a new, long-acting, once-weekly pill for schizophrenia symptoms is as effective as the existing daily treatment. The pill, a version of the antipsychotic medication risperidone, works by balancing dopamine and serotonin levels in the brain. The trial compared the new pill, developed by Lyndra Therapeutics, to the daily version and found that both produced comparable therapeutic effects. The new pill could simplify patient care and improve medication adherence without compromising effectiveness. The trial enrolled 83 participants with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder and found that the new pill maintained steady blood risperidone concentrations similar to the daily version. Side effects were common but mostly mild to moderate. The study's results offer a novel long-acting oral drug delivery technology for schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder, and could enhance patient autonomy and medication adherence.
