Ce que dit le Cadre mondial pour la biodiversité au sujet des droits, des réglementations, de l’agriculture et de la conservation

The document analyzes the 2022 Global Biodiversity Framework, highlighting its recognition of indigenous rights and agroecology while criticizing its reliance on corporate self-reporting, 'sustainable intensification' in agriculture, and the implicit acceptance of biodiversity offsets (compensation). It urges civil society to use the framework's targets to pressure governments for stronger legislation and accountability.

• The Global Biodiversity Framework recognizes the essential role of indigenous peoples and local communities (IPLCs) in conservation, specifically through Target 22 and Target 3, and emphasizes a human-rights-based approach to implementation.
• There are significant gaps in human rights protections within the framework, notably the absence of human rights mentions in Target 8 (climate change) and the removal of human rights elements from Target 15 (corporate sector), likely due to corporate lobbying.
• Corporate regulations under Targets 14, 15, and 16 are criticized for relying on 'carrots' rather than 'sticks,' favoring voluntary self-reporting and corporate labeling over binding mandates, which the document argues facilitates greenwashing.
• While the framework mentions agroecology in Target 10, it also promotes 'sustainable intensification' and 'innovative approaches,' which the document claims are used by the biotech and agro-industrial sectors to justify GMOs, pesticides, and synthetic biology.
• The document warns that the framework implicitly allows for 'compensation' (biodiversity offsets), where the destruction of one ecosystem is justified by the restoration of another, a practice it describes as harmful and ineffective.
• The framework lacks explicit prohibitions on high-impact industrial activities in essential ecosystems, such as deep-sea mining, Arctic drilling, and mountaintop removal mining.
