❗️❗️❗️Global Biodiversity framework just approved @UNBiodiversity #COP15. Extraordinary achievement of the global policy and scientific community. Years in the making. Now the hard work starts: implementing those targets and goals.
Some last minute reservations from Democratic Republic of Congo hopefully will not come back to haunt this agreement.
There’s a lot of work for the scientific community ahead. How to support decision-makes in translating targets to national level, how to create enabling conditions for implementation and of course monitoring, monitoring!
As one of the delegates wisely said, it’s a proposal that makes everyone unhappy, the only way to achieve consensus in the UN system.
But as that delegate also mentioned, it’s much better than many had expected. In my opinion, as I explained in my thread yesterday, it’s very good. It’s a major step forward in relation to past targets.
And a major demonstration of the vitality and importance of the biodiversity global community of decision-makers, practitioners and a scientists. What a remarkable moment!
A link to my brief analysis of the final document, with some comments about the approved targets:
