La COP ne parvient pas à relever le défi de la protection de la biodiversité

Friends of the Earth International criticizes COP 13 for failing to protect biodiversity, alleging that the conference prioritized corporate interests and economic growth over environmental safety and indigenous rights. The organization highlights the continued promotion of harmful technologies like GMOs and pesticides, the erosion of the precautionary principle, and the increasing influence of the private sector through the 'financialization of nature'.

• The outcomes of COP 13 failed to implement systemic changes to reverse biodiversity loss, specifically by failing to impose planetary-scale limits on sectors like agriculture, forestry, fishing, and tourism.
• The conference continued to promote the 'green revolution' and technologies such as pesticides and genetically modified organisms (GMOs), which the author claims devastate biodiversity.
• The precautionary principle was undermined by countries prioritizing corporate and commercial interests, leading to the removal of risk assessment mechanisms for GMOs under the Cartagena Protocol and the dismantling of the expert group on synthetic biology risks.
• Indigenous Peoples' rights were compromised, with limited recognition of the principle of Free, Prior and Informed Consent and attempts by member states to subject community customs and decision-making processes to national legislation.
• The private sector exerted significant influence over the CBD, with nearly one-third of COP delegates representing business interests, promoting the 'financialization of nature' through concepts like payments for environmental services and biodiversity offsetting.
