Justice Informed Species Conservation and the Global Biodiversity Framework

This panel and Q&A forum was held as part of the World Species Congress in May 2024. The panel discussed pathways to more justice-informed conservation approaches in relation to global conservation policy and the newly agreed Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. You can find a recording of the panel below.

Developing the post-2020 biodiversity framework

The Post-2020 Biodiversity Framework Task Force countributed to IUCN position papers and information documents to support the negotiation process towards the Aichi targers and the development of the species-related targets of the Global Biodiversity Framework.

STAR

The Task Force supports the development of the Species Threat Abatement and Restoration Metric (STAR).

This tool that can help governments, industry, and civil society identify actions with positive conservation impact for threatened species.

Publications

The Task Force has contributed to a range of scientific publications, reports, and tools relating to species conservation.

World Species Congress – 15th May

The World Species Congress is taking place virtually across 24 hours on May 15 and includes a packed programme on species recovery efforts, global and local conservation policy, and actions to ensure the survival of wild species and ecosystems.

We are very excited to be hosting two events during the Congress. Phil McGowan and Alison Hutchinson will be running sessions in the morning, so please do join us! You can find the  Agenda here.

Talk 1: Justice-informed species conservation and the Global Biodiversity Framework

Alison will present a Q&A forum with Ragnhild Sollund (University of Oslo), Dany Celermajer (University of Sydney), and Carlos Andrés Baquero-Díaz (New York University). The panel will discuss pathways to more justice-informed conservation approaches in relation to global conservation policy and the newly agreed Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.

Talk 2: The Strategy Needed to Achieve Target 4 of the Global Biodiversity Framework

Phil will present on the species elements of the Global Biodiversity Framework, which emphasises the need for urgent management actions to ensue the recovery of threatened species.  The presentation will outline the species-related ambitions and goals within the Framework and give a broad overview of the need to develop strategies to ensure positive species outcomes.
