Nederlands webportaal over Biologische Diversiteit.



De doelstelling is het ontsluiten van een maximum aan informatie over biodiversiteit en biodiversiteitsbeleid in relatie tot Nederland. Dit portaal vormt tevens de Nederlandse invulling van het zogenaamde Clearing House Mechanism van de Conventie inzake Biologische Diversiteit (CBD)

Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020,.... including Aichi Biodiversity Targets
Aichi Biodiversity Targets - Fliers

Development of National Biodiversity Targets in the framework of the Aichi Biodiversity Targets

In decision X/2, the tenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties, held from 18 to 29 October 2010, in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, Japan, adopted a revised and updated Strategic Plan for Biodiversity, including the Aichi Biodiversity Targets, for the 2011-2020 period.

This new plan will be the overarching framework on biodiversity, not only for the biodiversity-related conventions, but for the entire United Nations system.

The tenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties agreed to translate this overarching international framework into national biodiversity strategies and action plans within two years. Additionally, in decision X/10, the meeting decided that the fifth national reports, due by 31 March 2014, should focus on the implementation of the 2011-2020 Strategic Plan and progress achieved towards the Aichi Biodiversity Targets.

Key elements


Some examples of the Aichi Biodiversity Targets are:


At least halve and, where feasible, bring close to zero the rate of loss of natural habitats, including forests.
Establish a conservation target of 17% of terrestrial and inland water areas and 10% of marine and coastal areas.Restore at least 15% of degraded areas through conservation and restoration activities

The definition of "other means" in the technical rationale of target 11 should be replaced with a definition of;other effective area-based conservation measures;.
The paramount importance of water should be highlighted in the technical rationale of target 14
A reference to Article 16 of the Convention will be added to the technical rationale of target 19.
An updated document is available as UNEP/CBD/COP/10/27/Add.1.
8 Decision BS-V/16, annex
9 The note, updated consistent with the targets as adopted and decision X/2, is available as UNEP/CBD/COP/10/27/Add.1..
10 Note that the international regime on access and benefit-sharing is constituted of the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of the Benefits Arising from their Utilization, as well as complementary instruments, including the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture and the Bonn Guidelines on Access to Genetic Resources and Fair and Equitable Sharing of the Benefits Arising Out of Their Utilization (decision X/1, preamble).
11 A full list of programmes and initiatives is available at: www.cbd.int/programmes
12 The TEMETEA modules for the coherent implementation of multilateral environmental agreements and related instruments may be a useful tool to support this.
13 A note on provisional technical rationale, possible indicators and suggested milestones for the Aichi Biodiversity Targets is provided as UNEP/CBD/COP/10/27/Add.1.
14 The prospective Biodiversity Technology Initiative is relevant (decision X/6).
15 See also decision X/3.
16 Including, among others, UNEP, UNDP, the World Bank, FAO and IUCN.
17 See also decisions X/25 and X/23, on a multi-year plan of action for South-South cooperation on biodiversity for development for the period 2011-2020.
18 Decision X/22 on the Plan of Action on Subnational Governments, Cities and other Local Authorities on biodiversity. See also the Aichi/Nagoya Declaration on Local Authorities and Biodiversity.
19 Decisions VIII/17 , IX/26 and X/21.
20 The GEO-Biodiversity Observation Network, with further development and adequate resourcing, could facilitate this, together with Global Biodiversity Information Facility and the Biodiversity Indicators Partnership.
21 This is facilitated by, inter alia, DIVERSITAS, the Programme on Ecosystem Change and Society and other global change research programmes of the International Council for Science (ICSU).


Stand van zaken biodiversiteit

De natuurlijke biodiversiteit op aarde is in in het verleden al een aantal keren zeer sterk achteruit gegaan. Waarschijnlijke oorzaken waren klimaat- en zeespiegelveranderingen, meteorietinslagen en vulkaanuitbarstingen. Na elke achteruitgang ontstond elke keer weer opnieuw een grote verscheidenheid aan soorten. Dit proces duurde steeds vele miljoenen jaren.

Sterke achteruitgang
De biodiversiteit op aarde gaat nu opnieuw sterk achteruit. Dit keer is de mens de oorzaak. Zo tast de mens leefgebieden van soorten aan (door onder meer boskap, wegenaanleg, visserij en handel in bedreigde diersoorten). Daarnaast reizen soorten met de mens mee en brengen elders inheemse soorten in gevaar. En ook omdat het klimaat verandert door het energiegebruik, neemt de biodiversiteit af.

Nee. Bij de uitsterving van soorten zien we wat er nu gebeurt, en hoeven we niet te voorspellen wat er zal gaan gebeuren, zoals bij het klimaat. Soorten verdwijnen gewoon. En we zien dat er van bepaalde soorten nu veel minder zijn, terwijl er daar ooit heel veel van waren.
