EXPERTISE ON #7 - NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS: HARNESSING THE POTENTIAL FOR AMBITIOUS POST-2020 BIODIVERSITY OUTCOMES

Genetic resources represent unique sources of information that have shown enormous benefits to humans (food, biotechnology, medicines). Those genetic resources often come from megadiverse and complex ecosystems where traditional knowledge and local communities play a great role in maintaining natural resources. Access and Benefit-Sharing (ABS) aims at defining ways in which genetic resources may be accessed, and how benefits derived from their use are equally shared.

Natural Capital accounting is a tool to measure the changes in the stock of natural capital at a variety of scales and to integrate the values of ecosystem services into national accounting and reporting systems at different levels.

Article 2 of the Convention on Biological Diversity defines “Other Effective area-based Conservation Measures” as geographically defined area other than a Protected Area, which is governed and managed in ways that achieve positive and sustained long- term outcomes for the insitu conservation of biodiversity,1 with associated ecosystem functions and services and, where applicable, cultural, spiritual, socioeconomic, and other locally relevant values”.

The mainstreaming of biodiversity can be defined as integrating or including actions related to conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity at every stage of the policy, plan, programme and project cycle, regardless whether international organizations, businesses or governments lead the process. This requires enhanced collaboration with development sectors and actors.

At next COP15 in Kunming, Parties are expected to make ambitious commitments to tackle biodiversity loss at a global scale, while ensuring the effective implementation of those commitments. Accountability has been identified as one of the most important means to cope with this key challenging issue. The project aims at promoting the understanding and the promotion of accountability mechanisms guaranteeing that Parties are liable for the implementation of the post-2020 global biodiversity framework.

Aichi Target 4 aims at contributing to the target established by the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation of changing unsustainable patterns of consumption and production by requiring that by 2020 the Parties have taken, or planning to take measures to promote sustainable consumption and production (SCP).
