Il est temps de lutter contre la perte de biodiversité, mais l’avant-projet du cadre pour l’après-2020 manque d’ambition
Summary
Friends of the Earth International assesses the draft post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework, acknowledging some progress in governance but condemning the lack of corporate accountability, the absence of indigenous rights, and the promotion of 'false solutions' like biodiversity offsetting. The organization calls for a systemic shift that addresses the root causes of biodiversity loss and ensures equity between the Global North and South.
Key insights
- The draft framework is viewed as an encouraging step toward addressing root causes of biodiversity loss, but it fails to recognize the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities or establish mechanisms for equity and justice for vulnerable countries in the Global South.
- The document criticizes the framework for promoting 'false solutions' that commodify nature, such as biodiversity offsetting and increased private sector cooperation, which may lead to corporate interference in multilateral governance.
- The draft is accused of ignoring the overexploitation of resources and the negative impacts of monocultures and pesticides, while failing to prohibit destructive extractive activities such as deep-sea mining, Arctic drilling, or high-mountain mining.
- The framework's approach to conservation is criticized for being based on quantitative metrics rather than ecosystem functionality and for omitting proven solutions like agroecology and community forest management.
- The proposed system of national goals and monitoring is described as an ineffective model of voluntary targets, lacking a guarantee that countries will fulfill their commitments.
