Global Governance of Biodiversity: New Perspectives on a Shared Challenge
This report aims to provide a first mapping of the global governance of biodiversity, through an investigation of the interactions between the various actors, institutions, norms, tools and processes that structure it. It chooses to do so by bringing together different visions or perceptions on the nature, shape and characteristics of the current global governance of biodiversity.
Mireille Jardin puts forward a historical and juridical vision of the global governance of biodiversity, mapping out the different treaties and legal tools that exist at the global level and shedding a light on the role of international organisations, with a specific focus on the role of UNESCO.
Raphaël Billé, Jean-Patrick Le Duc and Laurent Mermet provide an analysis of the use of global biodiversity targets as one of the central tools of the global governance of biodiversity, assessing the rationale and effectiveness of such a strategy and proposing possible alternatives or complements.
Last but not least, Raphaël Billé, Gilles Kleitz, Lucien Chabason and Claudio Chiarolla provide an insightful analysis of the 2010 International Year of Biodiversity, examining in more depth the last Conference of the Parties meeting in Nagoya.
