COP16.2 : Nous demandons un changement de système pour un financement juste de la biodiversité

The statement critiques current biodiversity financing mechanisms as unjust and insufficient, highlighting how the global financial sector drives biodiversity loss through credits to extractive industries and predatory debt cycles. It argues that 'false solutions' like biodiversity offsets and green bonds often facilitate greenwashing or profit from destruction. The document calls for a system change that prioritizes direct funding for Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs), who are identified as the most effective conservation actors but the least funded.

• Current biodiversity financing is managed by the Global Environment Facility, which is described as unjust because it prioritizes countries capable of providing significant co-financing, thereby excluding many developing nations.
• The global financial sector is a primary driver of biodiversity loss; since 2015, banks have provided over $395 billion in credits to extractive industries in deforestation-prone regions, and profit-driven industries (mining, oil, gas, forestry, and industrial agriculture) are estimated to cause 90% of global biodiversity loss.
• Developing countries are trapped in cycles of debt and export dependency, often pressured by the World Bank and IMF to implement policies that encourage destructive sectors while ignoring environmental regulations.
• Market-based mechanisms such as biodiversity offsets, credits, and green bonds are criticized as 'false solutions' that may facilitate greenwashing or derive funding from the destruction of ecosystems.
• Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs) are the most effective at biodiversity conservation but receive the least financial support, necessitating the creation of mechanisms for direct funding to them.
