The Kunming-Montreal #GlobalBiodiversityFramework (GBF) contains some strong elements, but without adequate financial resources it will stay on paper. As is the case for climate finance, we need to reform Bretton Woods to unlock financial flows. #COP15 (long thread, as usual!😉)
We analyzed the GBF package and asked ourselves: how will it be delivered and implemented? The challenges to get funding will be massive. Here we suggest a three-step approach, from now until the #COP16 to build trust and political will at @UNBiodiversity Convention and beyond: 
To recap: there is a funding need of between US$ 700 to nearly 1 trillion/year to implement the GBF. The final text used a smaller number, but still estimated the funding gap to fill at US$ 700 billion per year by 2030.The GBF package contains four points on finance:
Finally, the international community adopted the #GlobalBiodiversityFramework here in Montreal at the #COP15. In these last hours in Montreal, I want to pay tribute to two indigenous leaders, Estebancio Castro and Robinson Lopez (this photo is in Rome, in a CBD meeting 2020).
Estebancio and Robinson were present in my heart during the whole #COP15: Covid-19 took them away from us, but their legacy was critical to get all the progress to advance on indigenous rights in the #GBF. I'm teary with gratitude, I wish I could hug them. I miss them dearly.
Make no mistake: this framework could have been much worse, but thanks to people's power and the organizing of civil society, indigenous peoples and women organizations, this agreement is more inclusive and opens the window to change the game in conservation policy. Lets be proud
