État de la Gouvernance environnementale mondiale 2022
Summary
The 2022 state of global environmental governance was marked by a post-pandemic return to in-person multilateralism, resulting in significant milestones such as the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and the agreement to establish a loss and damage fund for vulnerable countries. The report notes the rise of 'nature-based solutions' across various treaties and the formal recognition of the right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment by the UN General Assembly. However, geopolitical tensions, specifically the war in Ukraine, and ongoing financial gaps continue to challenge the implementation of these global goals.
Key insights
- The year 2022 saw a significant resurgence in multilateral environmental diplomacy following the COVID-19 pandemic, with over 634 decisions made across 10 COPs and MOPs, including a record 365 decisions by CITES.
- Major biodiversity milestones were achieved, most notably the adoption of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), which replaces the Aichi targets with 23 specific targets to be met by 2030 under a vision of 'Living in Harmony with Nature' by 2050.
- A historic breakthrough occurred at COP27 with the agreement to establish a fund for 'loss and damage' to provide financial assistance to vulnerable countries facing permanent climate impacts that exceed their capacity to adapt.
- The concept of 'nature-based solutions' (NbS) gained widespread institutional traction in 2022, being formally defined by the UN Environment Assembly and integrated into decisions by the UNCCD, the UNFCCC, and the CBD.
- The UN General Assembly recognized the right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment as a human right in July 2022, though the integration of human rights language remains contested or 'blurred' in some specific treaty negotiations, such as the Ramsar Convention.
- Geopolitical conflicts, particularly the Russian invasion of Ukraine, have increasingly intersected with environmental governance, leading to a Ramsar Convention resolution recognizing the ecological damage to 16 Ramsar sites in Ukraine.
- New international processes were launched in 2022, including negotiations for a global treaty on plastics (aiming for completion by 2024) and the creation of a science-policy body for chemicals, waste, and pollution.
