Biodiversity is fundamental to a healthy planet, human well-being, and economic
prosperity for all people. The United Nations has acknowledged biodiversity loss
as one of the components of the triple planetary crisis. In order to prevent
catastrophic consequences, humanity must reduce its impact on ecosystems and
wildlife.
We, Green 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 the global leaders and the Greens:
For the acceleration of the implementation of the Global Biodiversity
Framework and its translation into national legislation everywhere
possible, as fast as possible.
For the facilitation of coalitions of Greens and beyond within civil
society to push for more nature positive solutions, with the goal of
supporting communities and their wellbeing.
For the creation and mapping of more biological corridors worldwide, and
ensuring the connectivity of transboundary ecosystems.
We the Greens support the Kunming-Montréal Global Biodiversity Framework’s call
for the protection of 30% of biodiversity as set out in Target 3.
We the Greens support an amendment to Target 15 of the Kunming-Montréal Global
Biodiversity Framework which would make it mandatory for governments to require
nature-related reporting in line with the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial
Disclosures.
We the Greens 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.
We the Greens support the protection and growth of biodiversity in urban areas,
so as to ensure a link to Nature that provides wellbeing and a crucial
mitigation tool against extreme temperatures.
We the Greens support investment in people and programs to transfer knowledge
and nature positive solutions from country to country.
We the Greens support the protection of forest defenders and indigenous
activists, too many of whom are subject to violence and sometimes death.
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.
We the Greens recognise and support the application and implementation of
Indigenous traditional knowledge and solutions, as they are now recognized by
all, including the United Nations, as key to the preservation of biodiversity
worldwide.
We the Greens, affirm that each member party should develop policies to create
biological corridors and nature reserves in collaboration with other member
parties of Global Greens or other relevant organisations with the emphasis on
our connected transboundary ecosystems. Such coorperation will address border
conflicts and promote peaceful relationships.
