Ce que dit le Cadre mondial pour la biodiversité à propos des réglementations sur les entreprises

The fact sheet analyzes the Global Biodiversity Framework, specifically Targets 14, 15, and 16, arguing that while it advocates for integrating biodiversity into regulatory processes, it relies too heavily on corporate self-reporting and 'carrots' rather than binding regulations. It criticizes the framework for enabling greenwashing through platforms like the TNFD and for omitting human rights protections in Target 15, urging civil society to use the framework to challenge ineffective government policies.

• The Global Biodiversity Framework includes targets to integrate biodiversity into government regulatory processes and corporate behavior. Target 14 focuses on integrating biodiversity considerations across all government levels and sectors, including environmental impact studies and national accounting. Target 15 aims to reduce negative biodiversity impacts and promote sustainable production for companies, particularly multinationals. Target 16 encourages governments to support sustainable consumption through legislative frameworks and aims to halve global food waste by 2030.
• The framework is criticized for relying on voluntary corporate actions and self-reporting, which the author argues facilitates greenwashing. Specifically, the use of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) is seen as prioritizing financial risks to companies over the companies' actual impacts on biodiversity, while failing to require disclosure of operational locations or human rights and environmental complaints.
• A significant gap in the framework is the absence of concrete, consistent regulations for multinationals and the omission of human rights protections within Target 15, despite frequent violations against indigenous peoples and local communities during corporate expansions.
• Civil society is encouraged to use Target 14 to challenge government policies that ignore biodiversity and to push for the adoption of a binding UN Treaty on multinationals and human rights.
