¿Qué dice el Marco Mundial de Biodiversidad acerca de los derechos, la reglamentación, la agricultura y la conservación?

The document evaluates the 2022 Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), highlighting a tension between its recognition of human and indigenous rights and its failure to impose binding regulations on transnational corporations. It criticizes the framework for promoting 'sustainable intensification' in agriculture and allowing 'biodiversity offsets,' which the author argues can be used as 'greenwashing' to justify continued environmental destruction. The text provides guidance for civil society and NGOs to use specific GBF targets to pressure governments for better land rights and corporate accountability.

• The GBF recognizes the essential role of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs) and their rights to territories in biodiversity conservation, specifically within Target 3 and Target 22, and emphasizes a human rights-based approach to implementation.
• There is a significant gap in corporate accountability; Target 15 focuses on reducing negative impacts but relies on voluntary self-reporting and 'encouragement' from governments rather than mandatory regulations, which the document characterizes as 'greenwashing'.
• While Target 10 mentions agroecology, it also promotes 'sustainable intensification' and 'innovative approaches,' which the document argues may be used by the biotech and agribusiness industries to justify the use of GMOs and pesticides.
• The document warns that the GBF's goal to protect 30% of the world's land and sea (Target 3) could lead to 'biodiversity offsets,' where the protection of one area is used to justify the destruction of another, treating ecosystems as interchangeable.
• The GBF lacks specific prohibitions against high-impact industrial activities in essential ecosystems, such as mountaintop removal mining, deep-sea mining, Arctic hydrocarbon exploration, and fracking.
