Reacción a "Reactions to the agreement reached at the UN Biodiversity Conference COP15 "

Biodiversity monitoring is one of the concepts that is reinforced in the new Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, not only because it is highlighted in some of its targets, but also because it establishes a long-term monitoring framework to ensure compliance with the commitments made.

This monitoring framework is to be operational from 2025 and is based on a set of (mandatory) headline indicators together with a battery of other optional indicators, all of which are related to the goals and targets set.

One of the most arduous aspects negotiated by the least developed countries has been the financing of this ambitious monitoring framework, which has resulted in a commitment to increase the financial flow from developed countries by 30 billion dollars by 2030 (target 19), which, among other things, will serve to guarantee the deployment of the indicators finally accepted.
