How to achieve a successful Global Biodiversity Framework

Friends of the Earth International argues that the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework must move beyond the failed Aichi targets by adopting a rights-based approach, ensuring accountability, and rejecting corporate-led 'false solutions' like offsetting.

• The 2011-2020 framework for action established by the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), which included 20 "Aichi targets", was not achieved.
• Friends of the Earth International and the CBD Alliance advocate for a framework based on a rights-based approach, global equity, financing, the mainstreaming of biodiversity across national governments, and the promotion of agroecology and community-based solutions.
• The organization opposes the inclusion of voluntary commitments, purely technological solutions, finance for destructive projects, and corporate-led mechanisms such as offsetting, voluntary certification, and corporate social responsibility schemes, which they term "false solutions".
