4. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements with respect to ‘Aichi Biodiversity Targets’

2. A country which has adopted the Aichi Targets is not expected to devise their own national biodiversity strategies separately that would mimic the goals laid out by Aichi
3. The targets apply to Governments, business and stakeholders at all levels to take steps to achieve plans for sustainable production and consumption
Choose the correct answer using the code given belowCorrect
b) 1 and 3 only
The Aichi Biodiversity Targets laid out a 10-year plan (Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020), which had 20 global biodiversity targets, divided under five goals, with a deadline of 2020. The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) adopted the Aichi Biodiversity Targets at the Nagoya conference in 2010. Hence, statement 1 is correct.
After parties adopted the Aichi Targets, they were expected to devise their own national biodiversity strategies that would mimic the goals laid out by Aichi. Nearly all parties created these strategies, but most were never fully implemented. Hence, statement 2 is incorrect.
Target 4 of ABT – By 2020, at the latest, Governments, business and stakeholders at all levels have taken steps to achieve or have implemented plans for sustainable production and consumption and have kept the impacts of use of natural resources well within safe ecological limits. Hence, statement 3 is correct.
Delegates from 196 countries — Parties to the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) — are meeting in Montreal, Canada from December 7-21 with the aim to hammer out a new global agreement on halting environmental loss.
