  "account": "The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) reports progress in protecting and rebuilding damaged ecosystems, with 149 countries regenerating ecosystems across 252 million hectares. This has created over a million \"green\" jobs, equivalent to about a quarter of the target set for 2030. However, the report warns that current efforts are insufficient and not happening quickly enough to meet the goals. The majority of efforts have focused on land restoration, while marine ecosystems, which are deteriorating rapidly, have seen limited progress. To accelerate progress, the report estimates that over $300 billion is needed annually by 2030, which could create 32 million new jobs worldwide.",
