In Rome, talks to protect Earth’s biodiversity resume with money topping the agenda

Bogota: An annual United Nations Conference on biodiversity that went out over time last year would resume his work in Rome, which was with money on top of the agenda.
That is, how to spend the promise that has been promised so far – and how to increase a lot to help preserve plant and animal life on earth.
Known as talks in Colombia Cop16 Before breaking up in November achieved some important results, including a compromise, which require companies that benefit from genetic resources in nature – say, by growing drugs from rain plants – to share benefits. And steps were taken to give a strong voice in conservation matters to indigenous people and local communities.
But not enough time to do everything for two weeks.
Callie talks followed the historic 2022 COP15 agreement in Montreal, including 23 measures Protect the biodiversityThey consisted of 30% of the planet and 30% humiliated ecosystems under conservation by 2030, known as. Global biodiversity structure,
“Montreal was about ‘what’ – we are all working together?” Georgina Chandler said, the Zoological Society head of the policy and campaign for London. “Callie had to focus on ‘How’ – to implement plans and financing to ensure that we can actually apply this structure.”
“They eventually lost a quorum because people had just gone home,” said Linda Kreuar of Nature Conservancy, who is in Rome for two days of conversation “and so now we are fulfilling these final important decisions, which are some of the funding, mobilization and monitoring and monitoring and reporting and reporting requirements that are on global bodies.”
The overall financial objective was to get $ $ 20 billion per year in the fund by 2025, and then by 2030 $ 30 billion. So far, only $ 383 million was pledged as until November, 12 nations or sub-nations, Austria, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Japan, Luxembourg, New Jailland, Norway, Propert of Qubec, Spain, and Spain.
Participants will discuss the installation of “global financing instruments for biodiversity”, aimed at distributing the money raised effectively. And a large part of the talks will be about raising more money.
The ‘fully closed track’ on both the big financial targets Chandler and Kruger said that the finance points were particularly controversial in Colombia’s talks.
“This is actually about how we collect money and how we distribute it impartially, transporting it to the ground where it is most required, so it is really the main issue.”
Oscar Soria, a think tank, specialized in the Global Economic and Environment Policy, was pessimistic about raising a lot of funds.
Soria said, “We are completely closed in terms of getting that money.” The major sources of biodiversity finance are shrinking or disappearing, he said.
Soria said, “It was considered a good Colombian teleonoela in which people would really bring the right resources, and a pleasant end to bring their money, really a tragic Italian opera, where no one really does not agree to do anything and everyone loses,” Soria said.
Susana Muhammad, former Columbia’s former Environment Minister and President of COP16, said he expects a “good message from Rome”.
Muhammad said in a statement, “This is the message that still, even with a very fragmented geopolitical landscape, faster in conflict with the world, we can still make a compromise on some fundamental issues.” “And one of the most important needs to protect life in this crisis of climate change and biodiversity.”
According to the World Wildlife Fund and a October 1 October report by the Zoological Society of London, the Global Wildlife population has increased an average of 73% in 50 years.
“Biodiversity is basically necessary for our livelihood and welfare,” Chandlar said. “It is essential for the air that we breathe, the water we drink is rain, which rely on food systems, protects us from increasing temperature and increasing the events of the storm.”
Chandler said that deforestation in Amazon has far -reaching effects in South America, as it does in the Congo Basin and other major biodiversity fields worldwide.
“We know that on the integrity of soil in other countries, food systems have an impact on rainfall. So it is not just something that is small and isolated. It is a broad problem,” he said.
