【第15屆聯合國生物多樣性公約大會開幕🇺🇳】我們可以期待什麼?
在🇪🇬沙姆沙伊赫氣候變化大會(COP 27)落幕近3周後，另一個重要的締約方會議在🇨🇦加拿大蒙特利爾召開，討論「人類與自然無謂的自殺式戰爭」。聯合國生物多樣性公約第15次會議(COP 15)於12月6日星期二開幕，190多個國家聚集在一起，希望減緩生物多樣性的喪失🙅🏻♀️。
☝🏼今年非常特別，因為《2020年後全球生物多樣性框架》將提交到各個締約方代表，他們將進行討論並達成最終協議✍🏼。該框架為自然未來的十年設定了一系列新的目標，包括保護至少30%的世界海洋和陸地，消除塑膠垃圾，以及將生物多样性融資增加到每年至少2000億美元。
📖有報告顯示，世界上只有3%的生態系統仍然是生態完整的，代表著它們仍然支持當地物種的健康，沒有被人類行為破壞；至今人類已經改變了地球上75%的陸地和三分之二的海洋。因此，COP15的主要目標是阻止這種情況繼續下去。但是，不少人預計就擬議目標的文字和實質內容上將會進行艱難的談判，最緊張局勢可能主要圍繞著融資問題💰。
[The 15th Meeting for UN Biodiversity Convention Began🇺🇳] What to expect?
Almost 3 weeks after the 🇪🇬Sharm el-Sheikh Climate Change Conference (COP 27), another important conference of the parties convened in 🇨🇦Montreal, Canada to address “humanity’s senseless and suicidal war with nature.”. The 15th meeting of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (COP 15) began on Tuesday, December 6th, where more than 190 countries gathered with hopes to slow the decline in biodiversity🙅🏻♀️.
☝🏼This year is particularly special because the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework will be presented to the parties, which they will scrutinize and come to an agreement with✍🏼. The Framework sets a new set of goals for nature over the next decade, including protecting a minimum of 30% of the world’s oceans and land, eliminating plastic waste, and increasing financial resources dedicated to biodiversity to at least US$ 200 billion annually.
📖Reports show that only 3% of the world’s ecosystems are still ecologically intact — meaning they still support healthy populations of their native species and haven’t been ruined by human actions; humans have already altered 75% of the Earth’s land and two-thirds of its oceans. So the main goal of COP15 is to stop that from continuing. But difficult negotiations are expected over the wording and substance of the proposed goals, and the biggest tension is likely to revolve around the issue of financing💰.
