A new global environmental fund marks a major step towards securing the wellbeing of biodiversity in developing countries and will help to ensure sustainable utilization of their natural resources, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization said.
Maria Helena Semedo, FAO Deputy Director-General, recently stressed the importance of the Kunming-Montreal Framework and the role of agriculture and food systems in addressing global challenges. She added that the new fund is a critical part of climate action, and a vital step in making these solutions a reality.Biodiversity is the variety of life at genetic, species and ecosystem levels, and it is an indispensable component of food security, sustainable development and agricultural stability.
More than half of the targets in the Kunming-Montreal Biodiversity Framework directly pertain to agrifood sectors, and FAO is entrusted with overseeing four key indicators: ecosystem restoration, fish stocks, sustainable agriculture areas, and responsible forest management.
