As a key outcome of the Edinburgh Process, the declaration sets out the aspirations and commitments of the Scottish Government, the process partners, and the wider subnational constituency of the Convention on Biological Diversity, in delivering for nature over the coming decade.
Together with the Edinburgh Process Report to be introduced at CBD SBSTTA24, the declaration represents high level aims of Subnational Governments, Cities and Local Authorities for the post-2020 global biodiversity framework taking into account the feedback from the consultations carried out over three months.
Over 170 local and subnational governments have now submitted their voluntary commitments towards the post 2020 global biodiversity framework on CitiesWithNature.
