Dobayou, says Liberia supports the establishment of a biodiversity trust fund dedicated exclusively to mobilizing resources for the implementation of the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework.<\/p>\n<p>According to an EPA press release, Dobayou made the statement at the United Nations Biodiversity Conference or Fifteenth Meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP-15) in Montreal, Canada, on December 11, 2022.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cImportantly, we are home to the largest remaining portion of the Upper Guinea Rainforest in West Africa, for which Liberia has committed to protecting at least 30% under wavering conservation approaches,\u201d he said. According ot him, Liberia\u2019s biodiversity resources and its ecosystems are critical to the social and economic survival of Liberians.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking further, the EPA Deputy Executive Director noted that as Liberia prioritizes the conservation and sustainable use of these natural habitats, which Liberians depend on for livelihood, climate regulation, and the prevention of diseases, they hope the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework also includes targets that demand concrete global actions toward mitigating the negative impacts on biodiversity.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cA new ambitious strategic plan, matched with the required financial resources, is needed to address the triple crisis of biodiversity loss, climate change, and pollution. This ambitious plan will enable us to reset our relationship and make peace with nature.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Deputy Executive Director Dobayou added, \u201cYour excellencies, having a realistic strategy to raise the needed resources is a priority. That is why Liberia strongly supports a realistic resource mobilization target as contained in Target 19.1, particularly as articulated by the African Group of Negotiators and like-minded countries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He emphasized the country\u2019s support for the establishment of a Biodiversity Trust Fund dedicated exclusively to mobilizing resources for implementing the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework.<\/p>\n<p>It is expected that government representatives from around the world attending the event will agree on a new set of goals to guide a global action through 2030 to halt and reverse nature loss.<\/p>\n<p>Nature is critical to meeting the Sustainable Development Goals and limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/liberia\">Liberia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Liberia.
