Ensuring the global biodiversity framework’s success
The Aichi Biodiversity Targets, established during the 2010 UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), aimed to tackle environmental degradation and included goals such as halving deforestation and reducing pollution’s impact on ecosystems. However, these targets lacked specificity and metrics for tracking progress, hindering its implementation. Although some progress was made toward objectives such as conserving land and ocean territories, none of the 20 Aichi Targets were met globally. Lack of adequate financing, insufficient monitoring and limited government buy-in contributed to their failure.
The lessons learned from this missed opportunity were visibly incorporated into the design of the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). Adopted in Montreal in December 2022, the GBF has 23 targets and 4 goals, with a 2030 deadline. It emphasizes a whole-of-society approach, involving governments, businesses and civil society. The GBF includes a more robust monitoring framework with headline indicators, calling for enhanced transparency and accountability mechanisms. It also includes a provision for a periodic global stock take of progress and targets for increasing financial resources from all sources and a commitment to mobilize at least USD $200 billion annually from public and private sources.
The upcoming CBD COP16 meeting in Cali, Colombia, will serve as a first checkpoint for our collective progress toward achieving the GBF objectives.
