In October 2020, the Convention on Biological Diversity will adopt a strategy — the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework — to replace the Aichi Targets. The Framework is intended as a step towards meeting the vision of a world ‘living in harmony with nature’ by 2050. In order to reach that vision, there must be recognition of the interdependency of human rights and a healthy planet. As the Framework is negotiated, Forest Peoples Programme is therefore collaborating with a number of allies (including those listed below) to highlight the importance of human rights for biodiversity stewardship. This report — developed through a collaborative process that included a major thematic workshop and four webinars — makes concrete suggestions for ways to include human rights in the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework. It closely analyses the zero-draft of the Framework, published in January 2020 by the Convention on Biological Diversity, and concludes that: The current zero-draft fails to adequately incorporate and protect human rights, including the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities; Transformative changes beyond those proposed in the zero-draft are needed to address drivers of biodiversity loss in our economic, social and political systems; The worldviews, values, ethics and spiritual beliefs of human cultures — particularly those of indigenous peoples and local communities — should guide our reciprocal relationships with the planet, rather than a utilitarian approach that views nature only in terms of ‘services’ and ‘benefits’; Bending the curve of biodiversity loss requires bending the curve of inequality; this means we need inclusive environmental governance, recognition of human rights and fair sharing of the benefits and costs of the sustainable use and care of our world.
