Thousands of activists and residents have also flocked to the so-called \u201cgreen zone\u201d for cultural activities and demonstrations. On Tuesday, UN chief Antonio Guterres, six heads of state and 115 ministers will join the conference in southwest Colombia.<\/p>\n<p>Themed \u201cPeace with Nature,\u201d COP16 has the urgent task of coming up with monitoring and funding mechanisms to achieve 23 nature protection goals agreed in Canada two years ago. Muhamad told AFP that the Global Biodiversity Framework Fund (GBFF), created to give effect to those goals, \u201cneeds more money.\u201d To unlock more funds, she said, \u201cit would be very helpful if developed countries could increase the messages that they are going to meet the development financing target\u201d before leaving Cali.<\/p>\n<p>Several developing countries have called for the creation of a different fund that, unlike the GBFF, does not fall under the Global Environment Facility \u2014 which they say is difficult to access. On Sunday, Guterres urged the 196 signatories to the biodiversity convention to \u201cconvert words into action\u201d and fatten the GBFF. So far, countries have made about $250 million in commitments to the fund, according to monitoring agencies.<\/p>\n<p>Under the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework finalized in 2022, countries must mobilize at least $200 billion per year by 2030 for biodiversity, including $20 billion per year by 2025 from rich nations to help developing ones. A key goal of the summit is to agree on a mechanism for sharing the profits of genetic information taken from plants and animals \u2014 for medicinal use for instance \u2014 with the communities they come from.<\/p>\n<p>With about a million known species worldwide estimated to be at risk of extinction, delegates have their work cut out for them in Cali. There are only five years left to achieve the 23 UN targets, which include placing 30 percent of land and sea areas under protection by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaljournal.com\/world\/cop16-chair-hails-biodiversity-attaining-equal-footing-with-climate-crisis\/article\">Digital Journal<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/cop16-chair-hails-biodiversity-attaining-equal-footing-with-climate-crisis\/\">COP16 chair hails biodiversity attaining \u2018equal footing\u2019 with climate crisis<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[16707,16708,6350,16709,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-134970","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-equal-footing","tag-biodiversity-attaining","tag-climate-crisis","tag-cop16-chair","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134970","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=134970"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134970\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134970"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134970"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134970"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
