How can you ensure your grant project supports the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity?

由人工智能和领英社区提供技术支持

If you are a grant administrator, you may have to deal with projects that aim to conserve or restore biodiversity. Biodiversity is the variety of life on Earth, and it is essential for the health and resilience of ecosystems and human well-being. However, biodiversity is under threat from human activities such as habitat loss, overexploitation, pollution, and climate change. To address these challenges, the United Nations adopted the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in 1992, a global treaty that sets out the goals and principles for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity. The CBD has 196 parties, including most countries and the European Union, and it is supported by various funding mechanisms and programs. If you want to ensure that your grant project supports the CBD, here are some steps you can follow.

1 Align your project with the CBD's objectives

The CBD has three main objectives: the conservation of biological diversity, the sustainable use of its components, and the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising from the use of genetic resources. Your project should align with one or more of these objectives, and demonstrate how it will contribute to them. For example, you can show how your project will protect or restore a threatened ecosystem, promote the sustainable use of a biological resource, or support the access and benefit-sharing of genetic resources.

To align your grant project with the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity, focus on fair Access and Benefit Sharing, Mutually Agreed Terms for traditional knowledge, sharing non-monetary benefits, depositing resources in accessible repositories, imposing reasonable conditions, and mobilizing diverse funding sources. These actions promote conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity in line with the Convention's objectives.

In our increasingly connected world, one would like to think that Multi-lateral Environmental Agreements such as the CBD count much more than the paper they are written on. Birds as a class of wildlife on its own, represent the concept of 'biodiversity' better than any in the animal kingdom, certainly more than us bipedal hominoid mammals standing precariously on an outer branch in the Great Tree of Life. While Homo sapiens have the unfortunate tendency to destroy the natural ecosystems around us, we also have the capacity to protect what we appreciate and appreciate what we protect. There are more than 10 000 species of birds on planet Earth (1 of 8th of which are threatened with extinction). Humans have a moral duty to Save The Birds.

2 Follow the CBD's guidance and standards

The CBD provides guidance and standards for various aspects of biodiversity conservation and management, such as protected areas, invasive alien species, ecosystem restoration, biosafety, and traditional knowledge. You should follow these guidelines and standards when designing and implementing your project, and report on your compliance and performance. For example, you can use the CBD's criteria and categories for protected areas, the CBD's tools and methods for invasive alien species management, or the CBD's indicators and targets for ecosystem restoration.

The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is the most important international legal instrument addressing protected areas. This Project ("BirdLife 30X30") subscribes to Article 8 of the Convention (“in situ conservation") specifically with respect to the: (a) Establishment of protected area systems. (b) Development of management guidelines. (d) Maintenance of viable populations of species. (f) Restoration of degraded ecosystems. (k) Maintenance of necessary legislation. (m) Provision of financial support. Relevance to following CBD Programmes of Work: * Inland Water Ecosystems; * Dry and Sub-humid Lands; * Forest Biodiversity; * Mountain Biodiversity; * Tourism and Biodiversity.

3 Engage with the CBD's stakeholders and processes

The CBD has a wide range of stakeholders and processes that are involved in the governance and implementation of the convention, such as the Conference of the Parties (COP), the Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice (SBSTTA), the Secretariat, the Global Environment Facility (GEF), and the Biodiversity-related Conventions. You should engage with these stakeholders and processes, and seek their input, feedback, and support for your project. For example, you can participate in the CBD's meetings and events, consult with the CBD's focal points and experts, or collaborate with the CBD's partners and networks.

4 Align your project with the CBD's strategic plan and framework

The CBD has a strategic plan and framework that guides the implementation of the convention and sets out the vision, mission, goals, and targets for biodiversity conservation and sustainable use. The current strategic plan covers the period 2011-2020, and has 20 targets known as the Aichi Biodiversity Targets. The post-2020 global biodiversity framework is under development and will be adopted at the 15th COP in 2021. Your project should align with the strategic plan and framework, and show how it will help achieve the vision, mission, goals, and targets. For example, you can align your project with one or more of the Aichi Biodiversity Targets, or contribute to the development and implementation of the post-2020 global biodiversity framework.

As we move further into the third decade of the 21st century, and pursuing Target 3 of the CBD GBF (30% coverage by 2030) the next 7 years are pivotal for the future of nature and its conservation. The recent BirdLife International's Birds and Biodiversity Target report provide an opportunity to reflect on the progress made towards protecting the planet and what needs to be done to achieve a sustainable future. Birds themselves may also provide certain insights into the strategy policy makers could adopt if we wish to reach the 2030 Protected Areas Expansion Goals and strive towards the 2050 goal of a 'society living in harmony with nature'. It is surely high time to release the canary from the coalmine.

5 Communicate and share your project's results and lessons

The CBD encourages the communication and sharing of information, knowledge, and experience on biodiversity conservation and sustainable use, and provides platforms and mechanisms for doing so. You should communicate and share your project's results and lessons, and demonstrate how they can inform and improve the CBD's policies and practices. For example, you can publish your project's reports and outputs on the CBD's website, submit your project's case studies and best practices to the CBD's databases and portals, or present your project's findings and recommendations at the CBD's workshops and forums.
