La convention sur la diversité biologique doit nous guider vers un monde qui tienne compte des limites de la planète
Summary
The document calls for a post-2020 biodiversity framework that prioritizes planetary boundaries over economic growth and incorporates the leadership of indigenous peoples and local communities. It explicitly rejects the 'voluntary commitments' model used in the Paris Agreement and argues against biodiversity offsets, claiming they are ineffective due to the complexity of ecosystems.
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.
- The authors reject an approach based on 'voluntary commitments' similar to the UNFCCC's Paris Agreement, asserting that such a model failed to keep global warming below 2 degrees.
- Infinite economic growth is viewed as incompatible with environmental protection; therefore, the convention should limit corporate influence in public spheres and political debates and regulate the divestment from harmful projects.
- Biodiversity offsets should be abandoned because biodiversity is too complex for a single measurement method, and such mechanisms have already failed in the context of climate change.
- New biodiversity goals should include qualitative elements and recognize that indigenous peoples and local communities are the most effective guardians of ecosystems and biodiversity.
