The wealthy countries agreed to mobilize at least $ 20 billion (£ 150 billion) annually by 2030 to help developing countries preserve biodiversity.
The promise broke out in Colombia in November at the COP16 talks resumed in Rome, Italy. The agreement agreed by 196 states signed by agreements on biodiversity (including Russia but excluding the United States) won the victory over multilateralism in an uncertain period.
LIN LI, chief director of global policy at WWF International, said, “Negotiations in all countries have opened a common way aside from the difference. “What remains now is an urgent need to mobilize financing. You can reach $ 20 billion every year by 2030.”
Lambrechts, the COP16 delegation of Greenpeace, agreed. “It is important for northern northern countries to respect their promises and to translate today’s decisions into real funds to protect biodiversity.”
Despite the progress, many countries wanted to see more ambitious ambitions to stop and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030.
