CANCUN DECLARATION ON MAINSTREAMING THE CONSERVATION AND SUSTAINABLE USE OF BIODIVERSITY FOR WELL-BEINGhttps://www.cbd.int/cop/cop-13/hls/Cancun%20Declaration-EN.pdf

6. Implementation of the Paris Agreement under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which recognizes the importance of ensuring the integrity of all ecosystems and the protection of biodiversity when taking action to address climate change, can and should also contribute to the implementation of the objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity, and vice versa.

CANCUN DECLARATION ON MAINSTREAMING THE CONSERVATION AND SUSTAINABLE USE OF BIODIVERSITY FOR WELL-BEINGhttps://www.cbd.int/cop/cop-13/hls/Cancun%20Declaration-EN.pdf

7. We need to make additional efforts to ensure the effective implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 and its Aichi Biodiversity Targets, and the Cartagena and Nagoya Protocols, and facilitate closer collaboration with other initiatives adopted in international fora related to sustainable development, trade, agriculture, fisheries, forestry and tourism, among other sectors.

WE COMMIT: To work at all levels within our governments and across

all sectors to mainstream biodiversity, establishing effective

institutional, legislative and regulatory frameworks, tailored to national needs and circumstances,

and incorporating an inclusive economic, social, and cultural

approach with full respect for nature and human rights, through the

following actions:

UNEP/CBD/COP/13/24

Page 9: Cbd brussel2017.ppt(2)

6. Promote the conservation, sustainable use, and where necessary, restoration of ecosystems as a basis for achieving good health, clean water and sanitation, food security, the reduction of hunger and improvement of nutrition, poverty eradication, prevention of natural disasters, resilient, sustainable and inclusive cities and human settlements, and climate change adaptation and mitigation.

Convention on Biological Diversity

The CBD has three aims (Art. 1 CBD):

1. The conservation of biological diversity

2. The sustainable use of its components

3. The fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising out of the utilisation of genetic resources

CBD –Nagoya protocol on ABS

•Article 1: Nagoya protocol text https://www.cbd.int/abs/text/articles/default.shtml?sec=abs-01

“The objective of this Protocol is the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising from the utilization of genetic resources, including by appropriate access to genetic resources and by appropriate transfer of relevant technologies, taking into account all rights over those resources and to technologies, and by appropriate funding, thereby contributing to the conservation of biological diversity and the sustainable use of its components.”

Aichi Targets 2020https://www.cbd.int/sp/

Page 22: Cbd brussel2017.ppt(2)

Strategic Goal E: Enhance implementation through participatory planning, knowledge management and capacity

buildingBy 2015 each Party has developed, adopted as a policy instrument, and has commenced implementing an effective, participatory and updated national biodiversity strategy and action plan.

Target 18 By 2020, the traditional knowledge, innovations and practices of indigenous and local communities relevant for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, and their customary use of biological resources, are respected, ., and fully integrated and reflected in the implementation of the Convention …., at all relevant levels.

Target 19By 2020, knowledge, the science base and technologies relating to biodiversity, its values, functioning, status and trends, and the consequences of its loss, are improved, widely shared and transferred, and applied.

Target 20By 2020, at the latest, the mobilization of financial resources for effectively implementing the Strategic Plan

CBD COP 13 outcomes“The UN Biodiversity Conference marked the move towards enhanced

implementation of the Strategic Plan and Aichi Biodiversity Targets

through decisions to mainstream biodiversity into productive sectors,

including agriculture, fisheries, tourism and forests, and promote

integration of the Convention and its Protocols through the

organization of concurrent meetings. In addition, the Conference

considered a series of items on emerging technologies, including

synthetic biology, gene drives and digital sequence information on

genetic resources, paving the way for ensuring the Convention’s

relevance in environmental governance”

1. Welcomes the Paris Agreement in particular the articles related to biodiversity;

2. Encourages Parties and other Governments, when developing their Nationally Determined Contributions and, where appropriate, implementing associated domestic measures, to fully take into account the importance of ensuring the integrity of all ecosystems, including oceans, and the protection of biodiversity, and to integrate ecosystem based approaches, involving the national focal points to the CBD in this work and ensuring that information and tools and guidance developed under the Convention on Biological Diversity are used, as appropriate;
