WWF believes that the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 and it Aichi Targets as well as the Nagoya Protocol represent an effective global roadmap to halt biodiversity loss by 2020 and commends Parties for their vision and commitment in adopting these decisions in 2010.
However, WWF is concerned that almost two years later there has been relatively little progress in meeting these commitments.
WWF calls on Parties to accelerate implementation of the CBD by:
1. Setting national targets and updating national strategies and action plans.
2. Ratifying the Nagoya Protocol.
3. Identifying the financial needs for implementation.
4. Supporting implementation in developing countries (as per Article 20).
COP 11 will be a key meeting to ensure that the convention maintains momentum behind the implementation of the Strategic Plan and Nagoya Protocol.
