- Abstract
- The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is the main international treaty governing biodiversity. The CBD’s “Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework” aims to transform biodiversity governance to steer the necessary transformative change within complex socio-economic systems to halt biodiversity loss. For this endeavor, the CBD is operating alongside multiple international conventions, international governmental and non-governmental organizations, at different scales, that form global biodiversity governance. The chapter presents what needs to be transformed within global biodiversity governance, and explains ways to achieve such transformation. It begins with an historical account of the evolution of global biodiversity governance. A ‘regime complex’ lens is then used to show why biodiversity governance approaches have to intervene within sectors responsible for biodiversity loss such as agriculture, trade and development. Reflections are then made on the implementation of global biodiversity law and policies. The conclusion reflects on how obstacles can be overcome to achieve true transformation.
