Canada said it would put in 200 million Canadian dollars ($147.20 million) and the United Kingdom contributed 10 million pounds ($12.60 million).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are off to a good start. We now call for further pledges from countries and from other sources so that the first projects under the new fund can be launched next year,&#8221; said David Cooper, acting executive secretary of the U.N. Convention on Biological Diversity.<\/p>\n<p>Campaign group Avaaz said the Global Biodiversity Framework Fund needed $200 million from at least three donors by December to be considered operational. &#8220;The time for half-measures has passed,&#8221; Avaaz director Oscar Soria said. &#8220;Surely donors can come up with the paltry $40 million&#8221; needed to get the fund up and running.<\/p>\n<p>The meeting comes eight months after governments agreed the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework \u2014 what some have called the &#8220;Paris Agreement for Nature&#8221;, invoking the landmark 2015 United Nations pact to tackle climate change.<\/p>\n<p>One of the framework&#8217;s 23 targets is to help mobilize public and private sector players to funnel $200 billion per year to conservation initiatives by 2030, with developed countries contributing at least $20 billion of this every year by 2025. The fund launched on Thursday is managed within the Global Environment Facility (GEF) \u2014 a mechanism established under the U.N. Convention on Biological Diversity and the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change which has provided more than $23 billion to thousands of projects in the past 30 years.<\/p>\n<p>The world&#8217;s least developed countries and small island states will take priority and receive more than a third of the funds, with a target for as much as 20% to go to projects led by indigenous people, the GEF said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/environment\/countries-launch-fund-protect-nature-un-calls-more-money-2023-08-24\/\">Reuters<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/countries-launch-fund-to-protect-nature-u-n-calls-for-more-money\/\">Countries launch fund to protect nature, U.N. calls for more money<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","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":[842,11208,371,1882,402,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-116326","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-fund","tag-more-money","tag-nature","tag-protect","tag-un","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116326","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116326"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116326\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116326"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116326"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116326"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
