El Convenio sobre la Diversidad Biológica debe conducirnos a un mundo que viva dentro de los límites planetarios

A statement by Friends of the Earth International and partner organizations outlining requirements for the post-2020 biodiversity goals succeeding the Aichi Biodiversity Targets, emphasizing planetary boundaries, participatory processes, and the rejection of market-based mechanisms.

• The process for defining goals succeeding the Aichi Biodiversity Targets, which were due for completion by 2020, must be fully participatory. This includes the involvement of regional civil society, women, youth, local communities, and Indigenous Peoples to ensure societies adopt these objectives.
• The document argues that unlimited economic growth is incompatible with environmental preservation. It calls for limiting the influence of large corporations in policy debates and financial instruments to end corporate control of the public sphere.
• Future biodiversity goals should include norms for divesting from destructive projects and reversing perverse incentives, noting that investment in destructive activities exponentially exceeds investment in biodiversity preservation.
• The statement rejects the use of biodiversity offsets and the application of a single biodiversity metric, arguing that such metrics oversimplify the complexity of biodiversity and ignore important values. Instead, goals should incorporate qualitative aspects and recognize that Indigenous Peoples and local communities are the most effective preservers of ecosystems.
• The post-2020 process must lead to a world living within planetary boundaries and account for the increasing impact of climate change on ecosystems. The document explicitly rejects a 'voluntary commitments' approach similar to the Paris Agreement of the UNFCCC, stating it has failed to keep global warming below 2 degrees.
