Resolution text

The Greens, in their respective jurisdictions, will promote changes in
legislation and public policy in order to halt biodiversity loss, in line with
the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.

Reason

  • Biodiversity is fundamental to human well-being, a healthy planet, and economic prosperity for all people.
  • The United Nations has aknowledged 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.
  • In December 2022, the Convention on Biological Diversity adopted the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), with the vision of a world living in harmony with nature, establishing 4 goals and 23 targets for urgent action over the decade to 2030.
  • 7 of the 17 megadiverse countries are located in the Americas: Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, USA and Venezuela. Due to their vast territory, Argentina and Canada are also home to great biodiversity. Therefore, halting biodiversity loss, in line with the GBF, is a matter of the greatest importance for the FPVA.
