2 October 2010: COP 10 Nagoya Biodiversity Summit

3 Strategic Plan for Biodiversity Framework for all Conventions and stakeholders. Vision: Living in harmony with nature. By 2050, biodiversity is valued, conserved, restored and wisely used, maintaining ecosystem services, sustaining a healthy planet and delivering benefits essential for all people. Mission Take effective and urgent action to halt the loss of biodiversity in order to ensure that by 2020 ecosystems are resilient and continue to provide essential services, thereby securing the planet s variety of life, and contributing to human well-being, and poverty eradication 20 Aichi Biodiversity Targets Implementation mechanisms

4 Aichi Nagoya Targets Strategic goal A. Address the underlying causes of biodiversity loss Target 1: By 2020, People are aware of the values of biodiversity and the steps they can take to conserve and use it sustainably. Target 2: By 2020, biodiversity values are integrated into national and local development and poverty reduction strategies and planning processes and national accounts Target 3: By 2020, incentives, including subsidies, harmful to biodiversity are eliminated, phased out or reformed. Target 4: By 2020, Governments, business and stakeholders have plans for sustainable production and consumption and keep the impacts resource use within safe ecological limits. Strategic goal B. Reduce the direct pressures on biodiversity and promote sustainable use Target 5: By 2020, the rate of loss of all natural habitats, including forests, is at least halved and where feasible brought close to zero, and degradation and fragmentation is significantly reduced. Target 6: By 2020 all stocks managed and harvested sustainably, so that overfishing is avoided. Target 7: By 2020 areas under agriculture, aquaculture and forestry are managed sustainably, ensuring conservation of biodiversity. Target 8: By 2020, pollution, including from excess nutrients, has been brought to levels that are not detrimental to ecosystem function and biodiversity. Target 9: By 2020, invasive alien species and pathways are identified and prioritized, priority species are controlled or eradicated, and measures are in place to manage pathways to prevent their introduction and establishment. Target 10: By 2015, the multiple anthropogenic pressures on coral reefs, and other vulnerable ecosystems impacted by climate change or ocean acidification are minimized, so as to maintain their integrity and functioning. Strategic goal C: To improve the status of biodiversity by safeguarding ecosystems, species and genetic diversity Target 11: By 2020, at least 17 per cent of terrestrial and inland water, and 10 per cent of coastal and marine areas are conserved through systems of protected areas... Target 12: By 2020 the extinction of known threatened species has been prevented and their conservation status, particularly of those most in decline, has been improved and sustained. Target 13: By 2020, the genetic diversity of cultivated plants and farmed and domesticated animals and of wild relatives is maintained, Strategic goal D: Enhance the benefits to all from biodiversity and ecosystem services Target 14: By 2020, ecosystems that provide essential services, including services are restored and safeguarded, Target 15: By 2020, ecosystem resilience and the contribution of biodiversity to carbon stocks has been enhanced, through conservation and restoration, including restoration of at least 15 per cent of degraded ecosystems, Target 16: By 2015, the Nagoya Protocol on Access and Benefits Sharing is in force and operational Strategic goal E. Enhance implementation through participatory planning, knowledge management and capacity building Target 17: By 2015 each Party has developed, adopted as a policy instrument, and has commenced implementing an effective, participatory and updated NBSAP. Target 18: By 2020, the traditional knowledge, innovations and practices of indigenous and local communities and their customary use, are respected. Target 19: By 2020, knowledge, the science base and technologies relating to biodiversity, its values, functioning, status and trends, and the consequences of its loss, are improved, widely shared and transferred, and applied. Target 20: By 2020, the mobilization of financial resources for effectively implementing the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity from all sources,, should increase substantially. Target 10: By 2015, the multiple anthropogenic pressures on coral reefs, and other vulnerable ecosystems impacted by climate change or ocean acidification are minimized, so as to maintain their integrity and functioning.

6 Biodiversity for Sustainable Development Highest level of biodiversity 850 million people (12 % of world population) are dependent Coral Reefs and Associated Ecosystems (e.g mangroves and seagrass beds)

8 Ocean Warming Ocean Acidification Tropical Storms Rising Sea levels Disease Sedimentation Uncontrolled coastal development Nutrients/Pollution Destructive fishing practices Overfishing Specific work plan on coral bleaching adopted in 2004 (Decision VII/5) as Appendix 1 of Annex 1 (the elaborated programme of work on marine and coastal biological diversity, ) Aichi Target 10 (decision X/2, 2010): By 2015, the multiple anthropogenic pressures on coral reefs, and other vulnerable ecosystems impacted by climate change or ocean acidification are minimized, so as to maintain their integrity and functioning.

10 Photo credit: NOAA Inputs to drafting Priority Actions for Target 10 Initial compilation from national reports (UNEP/CBD/SBSTTA/16/INF/11) Submissions from Parties, other Governments, and ICRI, UNEP, and other relevant organizations Compilation of scientific studies (UNEP/CBD/SBSTTA/18/INF/7/Rev.1) Global framework of actions and studies: ICRI Framework for Action (ICRI, 2013) GLOBE Action Plan for Coral Reefs (2010) Reefs at Risk Revisited (Burke et al., 2011)

11 Photo credit: NOAA Focus of Priority Actions for Target 10 on corals and associated ecosystems (annex to COP 12 decision on marine biodiversity-other matters) Consolidate and further strengthen current efforts at local, national, regional and global levels to manage coral reefs as socio-ecological systems undergoing change due to the interactive effects of multiple stressors Reduce the impacts of multiple stressors, in particular by enhancing the resilience of coral reefs and closely associated ecosystems through ecosystem based adaptation

12 Focus of Priority Actions for Target 10 on corals and associated ecosystems (annex to COP 12 decision on marine biodiversity-other matters) Sustainably manage fisheries for coral reefs and closely associated ecosystems Manage land-based and sea-based sources of pollution Increase spatial coverage and effectiveness of marine and coastal protected and managed areas in coral reefs and closely associated ecosystems Manage coastal development Improve adaptive capacity of coral reef-based socioecological systems within local context Integrated watershed and marine management Capacity-building Sustainable financing Research and monitoring

13 Focus of draft proposal for updating specific workplan (annex to COP 12 decision on marine biodiversity- other matters) Clock is ticking Only a few decades are left before the predicted onset of highly damaging impacts of global stressors on coral reefs (at current emission rates) Priority Actions aims at minimizing existing high-impact local stressors and increasing overall resilience
