Aichi Target 16

The target addresses several elements:

• Entry into force of the Nagoya Protocol by 2015;
• The Nagoya Protocol is operational, consistent

with national legislation

• Putting the necessary ABS measures and institutional

structures for the Nagoya Protocol;

• Publishing mandatory information in the ABS Clearing-

House. ➢ 2010 Strategic Plan: ABS Target was about ratifying and implementing the Nagoya Protocol.

ABS and SDGs

Target 15.6 “Promote fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising from the utilization of genetic resources and promote appropriate access to such resources, as internationally agreed.” Indicator: Number of countries that have adopted legislative, administrative and policy frameworks to ensure fair and equitable sharing of benefits ➢ The indicator covers the Nagoya Protocol and International Treaty

• Parties and non-Parties are advancing in implementation
• Parties to the CBD are at different stages
• Further efforts are needed to make the Protocol
• perational
• Areas where further work is needed

guidance by COP-MOP could support Parties efforts in implementing the Protocol

ABS and the Nagoya Protocol: Looking at the big picture

Group dis iscussions on the following topics

• 1. Impact of Aichi Target 16
• 2. Visioning the state of nature we want in 2050
• 3. ABS and the Nagoya Protocol in the light of

technological changes ➢ 15 Minutes per topic

51% 19% 30% Target lower than Aichi Target 16 (or not all elements included) National target similar to overall scope and level of ambition of Aichi Target 16 No related national targets

Source: Analysis of level of ambition and scope of national and regional targets established in the NBSAPs

Ambition of f national targets established towards Aichi Target 16

Im Impact of f Aichi Target 16

• 1. Did having Aichi Target 16 help promoting ratification

and implementation of the Nagoya Protocol?

• How did it help/not help?
• What were the reasons?
• What should be changed or done differently?
• 2. How can the post 2020 framework help facilitate the

implementation of ABS and the Nagoya Protocol

• What elements should be included in the framework to

facilitate ABS (goal, milestones, targets, indicators, enabling mechanisms, etc.)?

• What are the key requirements to make the element feasible,

effective, successful (e.g. SMART, level of ambition) ?

Vision and Mission

Vision: "Living in Harmony with Nature" where "By 2050, biodiversity is valued, conserved, restored and wisely used, maintaining ecosystem services, sustaining a healthy planet and delivering benefits essential for all people.“ The mission of the new plan is to "take effective and urgent action to halt the loss of biodiversity in order to ensure that by 2020 ecosystems are resilient and continue to provide essential services, thereby securing the planet's variety of life, and contributing to human well-being, and poverty eradication. (...)

Visioning the state of f nature we want in 2050

• 1. How can ABS and the Nagoya Protocol contribute

to the vision of “living in harmony with nature” ?

• 2. What would need to change in the

implementation of the Nagoya Protocol to make the vision a reality by 2050?

can be) of relevance for the implementation of ABS and the Nagoya Protocol?

• What are the challenges?
• What are the opportunities?
• 2. How can the technological changes be addressed
• r promoted at national or international level?

Possible elements on ABS and the Nagoya Protocol in the post-2020 global biodiversity fr framework

Summary ry of f views on scope and content of f the post-2020 fr framework in relation to ABS and the Protocol

• Address three objectives in a balanced manner
• Target/s should focus on:
• ABS: Article 15 CBD
• Operationalizing the Protocol
• Integrated approaches to capacity-building, ABS Clearing-

House, national reporting

• Integration of work of the CBD and the NP
• Discussions about including an element to respond to

technological advances, such as DSI

Considerations

• Long-term goal based on the objective of the Protocol

and the third objective of the Convention

• One or more milestones or targets based on the steps

that countries need to take to achieve the long-term goal

• Aichi Target 16 and Target 15.6 of SDGs as basis
• Existing sources of information (national reports, ABS-

CH) and indicators (framework of indicators agreed in decision NP-3/1)

Considerations

• Flexibility
• Parties to the CBD are at different stages
• Some countries are primarily providers of genetic

resources and/or associated traditional knowledge and

• thers are mostly users or have decided not to require

prior informed consent for access. ➢ Flexible framework for establishing national targets that are adapted to national circumstances

Possib ible ele lements of f the post 2020 fr framework on ABS and the Nagoya Protocol

• Goal, milestones, and indicators
• Integration of ABS into other areas of work under the

Convention
