ACT NOW TO REVERSE NATURE LOSS


In December, countries that are Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) will adopt a new global agreement for nature. That agreement, the global biodiversity framework, has the potential to reverse nature loss and secure a nature-positive world by 2030.

But for any such plan to succeed, there must be an effective implementation mechanism that supports each country in the mission to tackle nature loss. It should be transparent and allow for an assessment of national actions towards the delivery of the framework’s goals and targets. Reviewing progress, identifying gaps and ratcheting up action where needed will be a key part of this mechanism.

With such a guiding structure, the new global biodiversity framework will have every chance of succeeding where previous agreements have failed. That’s why including a strong implementation mechanism has to be a priority in the final agreed text of the global biodiversity framework.

WWF RECOMMENDATIONS

WWF believes this implementation mechanism should include three core components: present, review and ratchet.

Present: existing national biodiversity strategies must be improved upon and countries should put forward plans aligned with the global biodiversity framework that translate all global goals and targets at country level.

Review: assessing progress nationally and globally is a vital part of the process.

Ratchet: to deliver on ambitious targets, following a review of progress, countries should be able to increase action on the ground if they’re not on track. 

A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

At the CBD COP15 in December, countries must agree the steps for implementing the global biodiversity framework (planning, monitoring, reporting, review, ratcheting), including the timeline between the adoption of the framework and 2030.
