La convention sur la diversité biologique doit nous guider vers un monde qui tienne compte des limites de la planète
Summary
A joint statement by Friends of the Earth International and partner organizations outlining requirements for the post-2020 biodiversity framework following the failure of the Aichi targets.
Key insights
- The post-2020 process for defining biodiversity goals must be fully participatory, including indigenous peoples, local communities, youth, women, and civil society organizations within regional bodies to ensure community ownership of the objectives.
- The authors argue that infinite economic growth is incompatible with environmental protection and call for the Convention to limit corporate influence in public spheres and political debates, specifically regarding financial instruments.
- New biodiversity objectives should focus on removing perverse incentives and establishing regulations for divesting from harmful projects, as investments in environmentally destructive activities increasingly outweigh those for biodiversity preservation.
- The statement rejects biodiversity offsets, arguing that biodiversity is too complex for a single measurement method and that offsets are even more 'absurd' than those used for climate change.
- Future goals should include qualitative elements and recognize that indigenous peoples and local communities are the most effective guardians of ecosystems and biodiversity.
