Fifth Science-Policy Forum for Biodiversity

and

the Eighth International Conference on Sustainability Science

11 December - 12 December, 2022

(English)

(French)

About

Introduction 

The world community is currently developing an ambitious post-2020 global biodiversity framework to be adopted at the fifteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP 15). The framework is intended, inter alia, to accelerate efforts to halt and reverse the global decline of biodiversity, contribute to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and facilitate the transformational changes needed to realize the 2050 Vision of Living in Harmony with Nature.  

Purpose

The purpose of the fifth Science-Policy Forum for Biodiversity and the eighth International Conference on Sustainability Science is to provide space for scientists, policy makers and other relevant stakeholders the opportunity to discuss and make recommendations on how science, technology and innovation can contribute to the effective implementation of the post-2020 global biodiversity framework.

Fifth Science-Policy Forum for Biodiversity and the eighth International Conference on Sustainability Science

The fifth Science Policy Forum for Biodiversity and the eighth International Conference on Sustainability Science will be held during COP 15. Participants will share experiences, exchange knowledge, ideas and diverse perspectives, showcase innovative solutions and tools for addressing technical issues and facilitating the implementation of the post-2020 global biodiversity framework. They will also consider the key factors for success and for scaling-up action to achieve measurable impacts on biodiversity at global scales, and adopt an action agenda to build effective cooperation, increase global capacities, and scale up complementary research, building on the outputs and recommendations from the joint virtual sessions held in April 2021 and June 2022 and from the ICSS 8 sessions held in January 2022.

SESSION 2

Room 210A

Transformative actions on all drivers of biodiversity loss urgently required to achieve the global goals by 2050

Halting biodiversity loss by 2030 and accelerating the reversal of negative biodiversity change requires transformative change, and cannot be achieved through conservation and restoration alone. Ambitious and comprehensive actions are needed to address the multiple direct and indirect drivers of biodiversity loss. Given the failures to achieve previous global commitments, there is an urgent need to focus on how such global commitments can be achieved effectively. This session will make the case for integrated knowledge and solutions as an imperative for realizing the Global Biodiversity Framework as a transformative instrument.

The session will build on recent contributions from the scientific community to support a more robust understanding of people as part of nature and the importance of an integrated approach to transformation change that are needed to address the multiple drivers responsible for the decline of biodiversity and ecosystems (Friedman et al 2022, IPBES 2019, Díaz 2020). It will include findings of an assessment led by the bioDISCOVERY programme of Future Earth and the Secretariat of the Group on Earth Observations Biodiversity Observation Network (GEO BON) conducted in 2021. The assessment analysed how actions in the 21 targets of the first draft of the post-2020 global biodiversity framework (GBF) and a comprehensive monitoring framework could contribute to achieving the goals and biodiversity milestones of the GBF.

As countries meet to finalise the GBF, it is crucial to integrate the robust evidence on the need for an integrated approach from ambition and target setting through to implementation and monitoring to implement the GBF while meeting other biodiversity-related agreements, the sister Rio Conventions, and the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development, thus providing entry points for strategic coordination with other regimes.

Biodiversity as a source of solutions to sustainability challenges in urban, peri-urban and rural areas

This session summarises the 5th Science-Policy Forum for Biodiversity and the 8th International Conference on Sustainability Science (ICSS 8), organized virtually in January 2022.
The objective of the session is to discuss how to leverage biodiversity in order to provide different solutions for food, health, and urban systems. It will provide insights on how biodiversity solutions can contribute to the effective implementation of the post-2020 global biodiversity framework (GBF) to foster transformative change towards achieving the 2050 Vision.

SESSION 5

Room 210A

Valuing, measuring and reporting on ecosystem services

In order to halt biodiversity decline, careful measurement and reporting of biodiversity data is necessary to evaluate progress. Building on the release of the IPBES report, this roundtable session will discuss how likely it is that countries will have the capacity to integrate valuation, develop assessments to measure ecosystem services and/or natural capital at national levels, and report the findings of those reports.

This session will also discuss, in line with Target 14, how to value ecosystem services for planning purposes and with a view to different jurisdictions, economic perspectives and cultural contexts. Valuing ecosystem services at all levels of society will be key to achieving the required transformative changes in biodiversity; thus, having affordable and appropriate tools will be crucial to achieve goals and targets within the Global Biodiversity Framework.

Sustainability & food systems/ agriculture: Scaling-up and measuring sustainability

Bending the curve of biodiversity loss will require strong action and changes in the use of biodiversity and nature; how ambitious, realistic and measurable are the proposed goals related to food and agriculture (goals A, B and Target 10). In the same line, it is still not clear how food systems and other products or sustainable management of agriculture [forestry and fisheries] should change to be sustainable while coping with human demands, or how progress will be measured. This session will be discussing on the convergence of sustainable land uses for agriculture, taking into account the SDG, and how Target 10, goals A and B can be implemented.
