"- Firstly, the binding agreement Norway has with the EU to achieve the climate goals by 2030 and meet the annual climate budget starts. We must increase CO2 uptake in forests and areas and reduce emissions to get there.

- Secondly, the current global goals for biodiversity - Aichi goals - will be replaced by new global goals for preserving nature and using it in a sustainable way.

- Thirdly , we are entering the decisive decade where we will reach the sustainability goals for the UN in 2030.

- Fourth, the UN's decade of nature restoration begins."

"This discussion paper, the Kunming Plan for Nature and People, presents WWF’s proposals for a transformative, comprehensive and measurable post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework that would be ready for implementation immediately after its adoption. We hope that the document will be helpful and inspire Parties to design and adopt a framework that delivers for Nature and People. We also hope that Parties take on board a key lesson from GBO5, namely that it is imperative the framework is
supported by a whole-of-government approach, led by the highest level of government."

 Mon, 27/11/2023 [email protected] French Foundation for Biodiversity (FRB) Assesses Capacity of 2030 National Biodiversity Strategy for Transformative Changes Based on IPBES Work English (396) The new IPBES work programme “assessment of transformative change” aims to identify factors in human society—behavioural, social, cultural dimensions, among others—that may be leveraged to bring about transformative change. In this context and based on its scientific recommendations, the third French National Strategy for Biodiversity for 2030 (SNB3), published in 2022, aims to contribute to the implementation of France’s international commitments under the Convention on Biological Diversity and the EU’s Biodiversity Strategy for 2030. We carried out a critical assessment of the capacity of the first version of SNB3 to initiate transformative change.
. Firstly, we describe a two-step assessment methodology for determining the leverage potential of the strategy’s measures, based on a robust and replicable independent scientific audit and a multi-criteria analysis.
. Secondly, we present the main results of the assessment using the SNB3 as a case example.
We confirm the scientific and practical relevance of this type of exercise for policy makers, for establishing strategies that are part of a transition process allowing for real transformative change in society. By analysing the measures and ranking them from most to least efficient, this study reveals the strengths and weaknesses of the strategy by anticipating what should have and may not have an impact, while highlighting what needs to be improved as a priority.
