Análisis de las decisiones de la Convención en Diversidad Biológica: una herramienta para su uso a nivel nacional

This report by Friends of the Earth International categorizes 233 CBD decisions into five programmatic approaches: Community Forest Management (MCB), Biodiversity, Rights, Financialization (false solutions), and Governance. It provides a detailed analysis of key 'Principles and Declarations' and other relevant decisions to help indigenous peoples and local communities hold governments accountable for their international biodiversity commitments.

• The Ecosystem Approach is a strategy for integrated management of land, water, and living resources to balance conservation, sustainable use, and the fair distribution of benefits. It is based on 12 principles, including the requirement that management be decentralized to the lowest appropriate level and that the choice of management objectives remain with society.
• The Addis Ababa Principles and Guidelines for the Sustainable Use of Biological Diversity emphasize that local users must be sufficiently empowered and supported by rights to take responsibility for resource use. It advocates for adaptive management based on both science and traditional and local knowledge.
• The CBD's Expanded Programme of Work on Forest Biological Diversity recognizes the vital role of women in indigenous and local communities for the sustainable use and conservation of forest biodiversity, particularly regarding non-timber resources.
• The report identifies 'false solutions' as market-based approaches, such as the 'financialization of nature', which frame environmental protection in exclusively economic and financial terms. The document argues these solutions allow continued environmental destruction and human rights violations while providing 'greenwashing' for industrial sectors.
• Under the rights-based approach, the Akwé: Kon Guidelines provide voluntary procedures for conducting cultural, environmental, and social impact assessments for development projects affecting sacred sites or lands traditionally used by indigenous and local communities, requiring their free, prior, and informed consent.
• The Tkarihwaié Ethical Code of Conduct serves as a guide to ensure respect for the cultural and intellectual heritage of indigenous and local communities, specifically regarding the research, use, and management of traditional knowledge.
• The Rutzolijirisaxik Voluntary Guidelines aim to facilitate the repatriation of traditional knowledge held by government departments, universities, museums, and other entities to the indigenous peoples and local communities from whom it originated.
• The CBD has established a Plan of Action for the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Pollinators (2018-2030), which includes goals to implement policies at all levels and reinforce management practices that maintain healthy pollinator communities.
• The report highlights the importance of integrating biodiversity and human health, noting that biodiversity provides direct benefits (food, traditional medicines) and indirect benefits (clean water, emotional well-being), while also warning that wildlife can be a reservoir for zoonotic pathogens.
