Policy influencing/advocacy Dans le cadre du projet d’avis du CNB sur la 3ème stratégie nationale pour la biodiversité (SBN), le CF UICN a contribué au contenu de cette future stratégie et demandé qu’elle ne fasse pas simplement référence au futur cadre d’action post 2020 et à la stratégie européenne pour la biodiversité, mais soit conçue comme un véritable outil de mise en œuvre de ces engagements internationaux de la France.

II. Implementation

Activities carried out to implement this Resolution
Education/Communication/Raising awareness
Policy influencing/advocacy
Describe the results/achievements of the activities
The IUCN Secretariat has been closely following the negotiations on the Mechanisms for planning, monitoring, reporting and review of the CBD, which include the guidance updating the National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs) as well as National Reports and a potential biodiversity stocktake to inform the development of future NBSAPs (ratcheting mechanism). This has included preparation of position papers and participation in a workshop.

The French National Committee provided inputs to the National Biodiversity Council's draft opinion on the 3rd National Biodiversity Strategy (NBS) asking that it not only refers to the future post-2020 biodiversity framework and the European strategy for biodiversity, but that it is designed as a real tool for implementing France's international commitments.

IUCN NL has advanced the implementation of the Resolution through the Dutch Action Agenda developed through a collaboration involving IUCN NL, the Deltaplan for Biodiversity Restoration and MVO Nederland, with financial support from the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality (LNV). It includes over 150 pledges from governments, non-governmental organizations and businesses to contribute to biodiversity in various aspects in order to demonstrate the support and willingness by the Dutch society to conserve and restore biodiversity.
Challenges/obstacles encountered in the implementation of this Resolution and measures taken
The main challenge so far has been the postponement of the CBD COP which has also delayed the adoption of the post-2020 GBF and the development of IUCN guidelines on how to reflect the post-2020 global biodiversity framework in relevant planning processes, including NBSAPs.
Future actions / activities needed for the implementation of this Resolution
In the lead-up to CBD COP15, continue to advocate for increased ambition and an effective mechanism for planning, monitoring, reporting and review.
Once the post-2020 GBF is adopted, the development of the IUCN guidelines for reflecting the framework in the NBSAPs will start, bearing in mind that Parties to the CBD will have already adopted guidance in this regard. This will involve drafting an outline that avoids duplication, and carry out consultation with Regional Offices.
Other aspects to be carried out are the development of a global strategy for collaboration and technology transfer, and training of trainers to build capacity for implementation of established NBSAPs by all stakeholders.
Are these actions/activities planned?
No
