The Post 2020 Biodiversity Framework – EU support Phase 1 contributed to position landscape approaches as a strategic tool to strengthen biodiversity and raise the level of ambition of the Post 2020 biodiversity framework (see publication). The latest draft global biodiversity framework now foresees in its target number 1 that all land and sea areas globally are under integrated biodiversity-inclusive spatial planning, as a mean to reduce threats to biodiversity including land- and sea-use change, identified as the first driver of biodiversity loss. Its target number 8 also refers to ecosystem-based approaches to minimize the impact of climate change on biodiversity contributing to mitigation and adaptation. Its enabling condition 16 relatedly calls for the integration of relevant multilateral environmental agreements and other relevant international processes, at the global, regional and national levels. Integrated landscape and seascape approaches now stand as a vehicle for the implementation of the Rio Conventions and the Sustainable Development Goals and biodiversity, as a key element of climate change mitigation and adaptation, is gaining traction.
Yet, there is not enough practical take-up of biodiversity-positive or neutral nature-based solutions. The project will thus implement a strategy focused on the translation of existing tools in concrete solutions, in particular:
Expertise France is building a pool of experts with competences on all aspects of nature-positive spatial planning that could be mobilized on this and other potential projects.

Expertise France, the French technical cooperation agency, designs and implements projects that sustainably strengthen public policies in developing and emerging countries. Governance, security, climate, biodiversity, health, education are among its core activities. It operates in key areas of development and contributes alongside its partners to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for a world in common. With an activity volume of 237 million euros, over 500 projects running in 100 countries and 63,000 days of expertise delivered every year, Expertise France provides partner countries with knowledge, skills and management expertise. Through its work, the agency promotes French and European development policy goals. Expertise France is endowed with dedicated Agriculture and Biodiversity Units, including a wide array of projects.
Among them, Expertise France implements the 2nd Phase of Post 2020 Biodiversity Framework – EU support. As during its 1st Phase, this EU-funded project will continue to focus on fostering ambitious commitments at the 15th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD COP 15), to be held in 2022 with a wide variety of activities – workshops, knowledge products, campaigns and partner dialogues. However, it will shift its goal to support an early operationalization of the ensuing Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework and an effective implementation of the related COP decisions. The Project aims to (1) inspire actors from various levels of governments as well as stakeholder and non-State partners to take bold commitments on biodiversity action, (2) contribute to unveiling the opportunities related to ambitious biodiversity action and (3) trigger the implementation of concrete solutions on key transformative issues and potential gaps in the Global Biodiversity Framework to be adopted by CBD COP 15.
