Adequate financial resources are available and should be progressively deployed, closing the financing gap to at least $700 billion per year by 2030. The financial commitment needs to increase to at least $200 billion per year, including an additional $10 billion per year in international financial flow to developing countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Theory_of_Change_of_the_Framework\"><\/span><strong>Theory of Change of the Framework:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The framework is constructed around a theory of change that acknowledges the imperative for urgent policy action at global, regional, and national levels to transform economic, social, and financial models. The anticipated stabilization of trends exacerbating biodiversity loss within the next 10 years (by 2030) is envisioned to pave the way for the recovery of natural ecosystems over the following 20 years, ultimately achieving net improvements by 2050 in line with the Convention&#8217;s vision of &#8220;living in harmony with nature by 2050.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs_%E2%80%93_Global_Biodiversity_Framework_and_UN_Convention_on_Biological_Diversity_CBD\"><\/span><strong>FAQs &#8211; Global Biodiversity Framework and UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_What_is_the_Global_Biodiversity_Framework_GBF\"><\/span>1.

It outlines goals, targets, and actions aimed at safeguarding nature and its essential services from 2020 to 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_What_is_the_significance_of_the_200_billion_fund_called_for_by_the_CBD\"><\/span>2.

It is part of the official draft of the Global Biodiversity Framework and is crucial for addressing the challenges posed by biodiversity loss, particularly in developing countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_How_does_biodiversity_impact_human_well-being_and_the_planet\"><\/span>3.

It provides essential services, such as clean air and water, pollination of crops, and disease regulation. Despite ongoing efforts, biodiversity is declining globally, posing risks to ecosystems and human survival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_What_is_the_relationship_between_the_Global_Biodiversity_Framework_and_the_Strategic_Plan_for_Biodiversity_2011-2020\"><\/span>4.

It serves as an extension and enhancement of the previous plan, providing a renewed focus on urgent and transformative actions to address biodiversity decline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_How_does_the_GBF_aim_to_guide_nations_in_biodiversity_conservation\"><\/span>5.
