| Protect the components of biodiversity |
Goal 1. Promote the conservation of the biological diversity of ecosystems, habitats, and biomes.
Target 1.1: At least 10% of each of the world’s ecological regions effectively conserved.
Target 1.2: Areas of particular importance to biodiversity protected. |
Good prospects for most terrestrial regions. Major challenge to achieve for marine regions. Difficult to provide adequate protection of inland water systems. |
Goal 2. Promote the conservation of species diversity.
Target 2.1: Restore, maintain, or reduce the decline of populations of species of selected taxonomic groups.
Target 2.2: Status of threatened species improved. |
Many species will continue to decline in abundance and distribution, but restoration and maintenance of priority species possible.
More species will become threatened, but species-based actions will improve status of some. |
Goal 3. Promote the conservation of genetic diversity.
Target 3.1: Genetic diversity of crops, livestock, and harvested species of trees, .sh, and wildlife and other valuable species conserved, and associated indigenous and local knowledge maintained. |
Good prospects for ex situ conservation. Overall, agricultural systems likely to continue to be simplified. Signi.cant losses of fish genetic diversity likely. Genetic resources in situ and traditional knowledge will be protected through some projects, but likely to decline overall. |
| Promote sustainable use |
Goal 4. Promote sustainable use and consumption.
Target 4.1: Biodiversity-based products derived from sources that are sustainably managed, and production areas managed consistent with the conservation of biodiversity.
Target 4.2: Unsustainable consumption of biological resources or that has an impact on biodiversity reduced.
Target 4.3: No species of wild flora or fauna endangered by international trade. |
Progress expected for some components of biodiversity. Sustainable use unlikely to be a large share of total products and production areas.
Unsustainable consumption likely to increase.
Progress possible, for example through implementation of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. |
| Address threats to biodiversity |
Goal 5. Pressures from habitat loss, land use change and degradation, and unsustainable water use reduced.
Target 5.1: Rate of loss and degradation of natural habitats decreased. |
Unlikely to reduce overall pressures in the most biodiversity-sensitive regions. However, proactive protection of some of the most important sites is possible. |
Goal 6. Control threats from invasive alien species.
Target 6.1: Pathways for major potential alien invasive species controlled.
Target 6.2: Management plans in place for major alien species that threaten ecosystems, habitats, or species. |
Pressure is likely to increase (from greater transport, trade, and tourism, especially in Global Orchestration scenario). Measures to address major pathways could be put in place (especially in Global Orchestration and TechnoGarden scenarios).
Management plans could be developed. |
Goal 7. Address challenges to biodiversity from climate change and pollution.
Target 7.1: Maintain and enhance resilience of the components of biodiversity to adapt to climate change.
Target 7.2: Reduce pollution and its impacts on biodiversity. |
Pressures from both climate change and pollution, especially nitrogen deposition, will increase. These increases can be mitigated under UNFCCC for climate change and through agricultural and trade policy, as well as through energy policy for nitrogen pollution. Mitigation measures include carbon sequestration through LULUCF and use of wetlands to sequester or denitrify reactive nitrogen.
Proactive measures to reduce impacts on biodiversity possible, but challenging given other pressures. |
| Maintain goods and services from biodiversity to support human well-being |
Goal 8. Maintain capacity of ecosystems to deliver goods and services and support livelihoods.
Target 8.1: Capacity of ecosystems to deliver goods and services maintained.
Target 8.2: Biological resources that support sustainable livelihoods, local food security, and health care, especially of poor people, maintained. |
Given expected increases in drivers, can probably be achieved only on a selective basis by 2010. Attainment of target 8.2 would contribute to the achievement of the MDG 2015 targets, especially targets 1, 2, and 9. |
| Protect traditional knowledge, innovations and practices |
Goal 9. Maintain sociocultural diversity of indigenous and local communities.
Target 9.1: Protect traditional knowledge, innovations, and practices.
Target 9.2: Protect the rights of indigenous and local communities over their traditional knowledge, innovations, and practices, including their rights to bene.t sharing. |
It is possible to take measures to protect traditional knowledge and rights, but continued long-term decline in traditional knowledge likely. |
| Ensure the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising out of the use of genetic resources |
Goal 10. Ensure the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising out of the use of genetic resources.
Target 10.1: All transfers of genetic resources are in line with the CBD, the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, and other applicable agreements.
Target 10.2: Bene.ts arising from the commercial and other utilization of genetic resources shared with the countries providing such resources. |
Progress is possible. In the MA scenarios, more equitable outcomes were obtained under the Global Orchestration and TechnoGarden scenarios, but were not achieved under Order from Strength . |
| Ensure provision of adequate resources |
Goal 11. Parties have improved financial, human, scientific, technical, and technological capacity to implement the Convention.
Target 11.1: New and additional financial resources are transferred to developing-country Parties to allow for the effective implementation of their commitments under the Convention, in accordance with Article 20.
Target 11.2: Technology is transferred to developing-country Parties to allow for the effective implementation of their commitments under the Convention, in accordance with Article 20. |
Progress is possible. In the MA scenarios, this outcome would be more likely under the Global Orchestration and TechnoGarden scenarios, but is less likely to be achieved through Adapting Mosaic and would not be achieved under Order from Strength. |
