• 110 National Reports
• Biodiversity Indicators

Partnership

• Biodiversity Futures Study
• 500 scientific papers
• Open review process

Structure

• Biodiversity in 2010
• Biodiversity Futures for

the 21st Century

• Towards a Strategy for

Reducing Biodiversity Loss

• No sub-target completely achieved
• Most indicators negative
• No government claims success
• Direct pressures constant or increasing

The 2010 Biodiversity Target has not been met

State Pressure Response

• Projections show continuing and accelerating extinctions,

habitat loss, changes in distribution and abundance of biodiversity

• High risk of dramatic biodiversity loss and degradation of

services from tipping points

• Loss preventable and even reversible with strong, urgent action

Key Findings:

Biodiversity Futures

What is a tipping point? Self-perpetuating Threshold Long lasting/hard to reverse Time lag

Biodiversity Futures

• A. Address the underlying causes of biodiversity loss by

mainstreaming biodiversity across government and society

• B. Reduce the direct pressures on biodiversity and promote

sustainable use

• C. Improve the status of biodiversity by safeguarding ecosystems,

species and genetic diversity

• D. Enhance the benefits to all from biodiversity and ecosystem

services

E.

Enhance implementation through participatory planning, knowledge management and capacity building

Strategic Goals

Urges Parties with the support of other organizations to:

• Enable participation at all levels;
• Develop national targets taking into account both the global targets

and the status & trends of biological diversity in the country, with a view to contributing to collective global efforts to reach the global targets, and report to COP-11;

• Review, update and revise NBSAPs, in line with the Strategic Plan

and decision IX/9, and integrating national targets, adopt as a policy instrument, and report to COP-11 or -12;

• Use the revised and updated NBSAPs as effective instruments for the

integration of biodiversity targets into national development and poverty reduction policies and strategies;

• Monitor and review the implementation of their NBSAPS making use
• f the set of indicators developed for the Strategic Plan and report to

COP through the fifth and sixth national reports;

25 – 26 October 2010, Nagoya Meeting on Parliamentarians and Biodiversity In collaboration with GLOBE International Meeting aimed at engaging legislators during the Implementation of the new Strategic Plan and in Particular during the revision of NBSAPs

Parliamentarians

• Supports/expands decision IX/28 and supports the 2011-

2020 Strategic Plan of the CBD

• Biodiversity incorporated into urban planning and

infrastructure development;

• Global platform for Cities and Local Authorities (CLAs):

partnerships are developed and funded;

• Broader engagement of CLAs in implementing the CBD

and better understanding of biodiversity issues by CLAs

• CLAs considered in National Biodiversity Strategies and

Action Plans (NBSAPs);

Plan of Action on Cities, Local Authorities and Biodiversity

• Monitoring and evaluation tool: urban biodiversity, ecosystem

services and governance: City Biodiversity Index or Singapore Index on Cities’ Biodiversity – tested in over 33 municipalities

• Scientific expertise on urban biodiversity and cities’ footprints,

statistics, data, cases – URBIO/2008(Erfurt) and 2010 (Nagoya), Stockholm Resilience Center/ URBIS, IUCN Specialist Group on Cities and Protected Areas, CUGE/Singapore Parks Board.

• Activities and contributions of environmental networks of local

authorities (ICLEI-LAB, Red de Municipalidades/Spain, European Capitals of Biodiversity Award, Nordic Nature)

• Coordinate investments and projects on biodiversity and

development at local level (UN agencies, global and regional development banks and economic commissions, GEF and implementing agencies)

CBD Plan for Local Action on Biodiversity

• Encourage and promote the exchange scientific and technological

knowledge and expertise (including best practices and lessons learned in conservation, sustainable use, and mainstreaming of biodiversity)

• Facilitate projects and programmes aimed at joint conservation and

sustainable use of cross-border ecosystems in order to halt biodiversity loss

• Strengthen cooperation between partners to reinforce SSC and

triangular cooperation in implementing the CBD

• Mobilize and enhance, by 2020, additional resources for SSC and

triangular cooperation

• Support from the UNDP SSC Unit, other UN agencies

Greater range of options than previously recognized Inaction is more expensive in the long run than investing in action now The action taken over the next decade or two will determine whether the relatively stable environmental conditions on which human civilization has depended for the past 10,000 years will continue beyond this century. If we fail to use this opportunity, many ecosystems on the planet will move into new, unprecedented states in which the capacity to provide for the needs of present and future generations is highly uncertain.
