With reference to the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF) adopted under international biodiversity governance, consider the following statements:

1. It was officially adopted during the 15th Conference of the Parties (COP15) to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) under the presidency of China.
2. Target 3 of the framework aims to ensure that at least 30% of global terrestrial, inland water, and coastal and marine areas are effectively conserved by 2030.
3. The Global Biodiversity Framework Fund (GBFF), established to support the implementation of the framework, is directly managed and operated by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) as a standalone agency mechanism.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

  1. 1 and 2 onlyCevap
  2. B
    2 and 3 only
  3. C
    1 and 3 only
  4. D
    1, 2 and 3

Cevap

Statements 1 and 2 are correct, while Statement 3 is incorrect.
The option stating '1 and 2 only' is correct because the KMGBF was indeed adopted under China's presidency at CBD COP15, and Target 3 sets the global landmark goal of protecting 30% of land and ocean ecosystems by 2030. Statement 3 is incorrect because the Global Biodiversity Framework Fund (GBFF) is managed by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), not directly by UNEP.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate Statement 1 regarding the adoption and presidency of COP15 to the CBD.
The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF) was adopted at CBD COP15 in December 2022 under the presidency of China (held in Montreal, Canada). Thus, Statement 1 is correct.
Verifying the summit title, host presidency, and international convention.
2
Evaluate Statement 2 regarding Target 3 of the KMGBF.
Target 3 explicitly calls for conserving at least 30% of terrestrial, inland water, and coastal/marine areas by 2030 (the '30x30' target). Thus, Statement 2 is correct.
Verifying specific numerical baselines and global conservation targets.
3
Evaluate Statement 3 regarding the institutional management of the Global Biodiversity Framework Fund (GBFF).
The GBFF was established under the Global Environment Facility (GEF) trustee structure (ratified at the GEF Assembly in 2023), not directly managed as a standalone mechanism by UNEP. Thus, Statement 3 is incorrect.
Distinguishing between multilateral funding trustees (GEF) and environmental policy programs (UNEP).
