HYDERABAD, India,
October 18, 2012 (ENS) – Delegates from 170 governments meeting in
Hyderabad today adopted a new environmental strategy to address the
unprecedented levels of biodiversity loss throughout the world.
Proposed by the United Nations Development Programme, UNDP, the strategy is focused on raising the funding to restore species and ecosystems in 100 countries by 2020.
As the
threats to biodiversity mount, the need for financial resources has
become more urgent. With these investments, the UNDP will work with
governments to conserve up to 1.4 billion hectares of land and bodies of
water in 100 countries.
In short, the strategy is to integrate biodiversity and ecosystem management with development, climate change risk reduction, and poverty alleviation.
A panel of women in the highest positions of financial and administrative responsibility all pledged their support for the new strategy.
“Human survival depends heavily on biodiversity and healthy ecosystems, yet in recent decades, the world has experienced unprecedented biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation, undermining the very foundations of life on Earth,” said UN Under-Secretary-General and UNDP Associate Administrator Rebeca Grynspan.
