We, Greens Parties and the Greens Movement resolve to include nature positive
and nature focused solutions wherever possible, in our political manifestos and
our governing policies. We call for the acceleration of the implementation of
the Kunming-Montréal Global Biodiversity Framework and its translation into
national legislation everywhere possible, as fast as possible. We also call for
the convening of a year-long Biodiversity Working Group in order to facilitate
coalitions of Greens and beyond within civil society to push for more nature
positive solutions, with the goal of supporting communities and their wellbeing.
1. We the Greens, could support to increase the Kunming-Montréal Global Biodiversity Framework’s call for the protection of 30% of biodiversity to 50%.
2. We the Greens, could endorse focused long-term planning and financing to ensure the proper stewardship of key biodiversity: animal and plant species, waterways and precious ecosystems that serve as bulwarks against extreme climate hardship.
3. We the Greens, could support the protection of biodiversity in urban areas, so as to ensure a link to Nature that provides wellbeing and a crucial mitigation tool against extreme temperatures.
4. We the Greens, could support investment in people and programs to transfer knowledge and nature positive solutions from country to country.
5. We the Greens, could support the protection of forest defenders and indigenous activists, too many of whom are subject to violence and sometimes death.
6.The link between biodiversity and climate change is clear: less biodiversity means more climate hardships, first and foremost for the peoples of the climate frontlines in Latin America, Africa and Asia Pacific.
7. We the Greens, recognise and support the application and implementation of Indigenous traditional knowledge and solutions, as they are now recognized by all as key to the preservation of biodiversity worldwide.
