Les négociations actuelles de la CDB ne sont pas sur la bonne voie pour empêcher l’effondrement de la biodiversité

Friends of the Earth International criticizes the draft Global Biodiversity Framework for adopting a utilitarian approach to nature, failing to regulate industrial drivers of biodiversity loss, and marginalizing indigenous peoples and Global South nations in virtual negotiations.

• The draft Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) is criticized for an 'utilitarian' philosophy that views nature primarily through its benefit to humans rather than its own intrinsic value, specifically regarding the goal to improve nature's contribution to people.
• The document argues that the GBF fails to address the systemic drivers of biodiversity loss, such as industrial agriculture, mining, and energy, instead promoting 'false solutions' like voluntary regulations and self-certification.
• The framework's reliance on 'Nature-based Solutions' (NbS) is viewed as flawed because it often promotes biodiversity-poor monoculture plantations to provide carbon offsets for emissions without addressing climate impacts on biodiversity.
• The document asserts that the GBF neglects the role of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs), who manage 80% of the world's remaining healthy biodiversity, and warns that 'Protected Areas' can lead to human rights violations and land expulsions.
• The 'No Net Loss' concept is criticized as a dangerous compensation policy that allows companies to destroy nature in one area by promising protection elsewhere, citing Rio Tinto's biodiversity offset project in Madagascar as an example.
• Virtual negotiations for the post-2020 framework have created a 'democratic deficit,' disadvantaging Global South nations and indigenous peoples due to unreliable internet access and time zone differences.
