POUR UN CADRE MONDIAL DE LA BIODIVERSITÉ RÉUSSI
Summary
The document provides a comprehensive guide for the Global Biodiversity Framework, emphasizing the need for binding rules over voluntary commitments and the integration of human rights, especially for Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities. It argues that biodiversity loss is driven by the current economic system and unsustainable consumption, calling for a 'Whole Government Approach' to integrate biodiversity across all sectors. Key recommendations include the elimination of harmful subsidies for industrial farming and aquaculture, the prohibition of high-risk technologies like geoengineering, and the rejection of biodiversity offsetting and market-based solutions. The text stresses that conservation must prioritize existing habitats and be supported by public funding, particularly from developed nations to developing ones.
Key insights
- The Global Biodiversity Framework must be based on binding rules rather than voluntary commitments to ensure that countries meet their fair share of planetary boundaries.
- Biodiversity loss is fundamentally rooted in the current economic system of unsustainable use and destruction of resources, exacerbated by unsustainable production and consumption patterns, particularly among wealthy populations.
- A 'Whole Government Approach' is recommended as the primary tool for integration, ensuring all government bodies implement the framework and establish strict regulations overseen by heads of state.
- The framework should protect the rights of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs), ensuring their full participation in decision-making and the protection of their territories.
- Financial incentives that cause biodiversity loss, specifically subsidies for industrial livestock and aquaculture, must be identified, removed, and redirected toward ecosystem protection.
- The document explicitly rejects the commercialization of biodiversity, including biodiversity offsets, 'no net loss' or 'net gain' schemes, and the assignment of monetary prices to nature.
- High-risk technological interventions should be prohibited as they do not address root causes and may pose new threats; specifically mentioned are geoengineering (including BECCS), Terminator technology, synthetic biology, and gene drive.
- Certain destructive activities must be banned, including deep-sea or mountain mining, Arctic drilling, fracking, large-scale primary forest deforestation, and peatland drainage.
