Il est temps de lutter contre la perte de biodiversité, mais l’avant-projet du cadre pour l’après-2020 manque d’ambition

Friends of the Earth International critiques the draft post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework, arguing that while it introduces a 'whole-of-government approach' to regulate economic sectors, it lacks the ambition necessary to prevent ecosystem collapse. The organization warns that the draft promotes 'false solutions' like biodiversity offsetting and fails to address the root causes of biodiversity loss, such as corporate interests and the consumption patterns of the Global North.

• The draft post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework introduces a 'whole-of-government approach' requiring all relevant ministries to regulate economic sectors impacting biodiversity, including energy, mining, infrastructure, tourism, agriculture, fishing, and forestry. It also suggests reforming perverse subsidies and incentives to promote sustainable practices across national and transnational supply chains.
• Friends of the Earth International argues the draft is insufficient because it fails to mention the overexploitation of resources—a regression from the Aichi targets—and instead calls for increased production. The organization demands a ban on destructive activities such as deep-sea mining, high-mountain mining, Arctic drilling, and mega-infrastructure projects.
• The document highlights a critical lack of focus on justice, equity, and human rights. Specifically, it notes the absence of recognition regarding the impact of Northern consumption on Southern countries, the lack of obligations for wealthy nations to support a just transition in the South, and the failure to sufficiently protect the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities.
• The draft is criticized for promoting the 'financialization of nature' through 'false solutions' such as biodiversity offsetting, 'nature-based solutions', and the 'no net loss' principle. It is further criticized for relying on voluntary national targets and 'progressive intensification' without enforcement mechanisms to ensure countries meet their commitments.
