摘要
To inform governmental discussions on the nature of a revised Strategic Plan for Biodiversity of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), we reviewed the relevant literature and assessed the framing of the 20 Aichi Biodiversity Targets in the current strategic plan. We asked international experts from nongovernmental organizations, academia, government agencies, international organizations, research institutes, and the CBD to score the Aichi Targets and their constituent elements against a set of specific, measurable, ambitious, realistic, unambiguous, scalable, and comprehensive criteria (SMART based, excluding time bound because all targets are bound to 2015 or 2020). We then investigated the relationship between these expert scores and reported progress toward the target elements by using the findings from 2 global progress assessments (Global Biodiversity Outlook and the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services). We analyzed the data with ordinal logistic regressions. We found significant positive relationships (p < 0.05) between progress and the extent to which the target elements were perceived to be measurable, realistic, unambiguous, and scalable. There was some evidence of a relationship between progress and specificity of the target elements, but no relationship between progress and ambition. We are the first to show associations between progress and the extent to which the Aichi Targets meet certain SMART criteria. As negotiations around the post-2020 biodiversity framework proceed, decision makers should strive to ensure that new or revised targets are effectively structured and clearly worded to allow the translation of targets into actionable policies that can be successfully implemented nationally, regionally, and globally. Relacion de las Caracteristicas de los Objetivos Mundiales de Biodiversidad con el Progreso Reportado Para informar las discusiones gubernamentales sobre la naturaleza de una revision del Plan Estrategico para la Biodiversidad del Convenio sobre la Diversidad Biologica (CBD, en ingles), revisamos la literatura relevante y evaluamos el marco de 20 Objetivos de Biodiversidad de Aichi en el plan estrategico actual. Le pedimos a expertos internacionales de organizaciones no gubernamentales, de la academia, de agencias gubernamentales, organizaciones internacionales, de institutos de investigacion y de la CBD que puntuaran los Objetivos de Aichi y sus elementos constituyentes frente a un conjunto de criterios especificos, medibles, ambiciosos, realistas (basados en SMART [las iniciales en ingles] y excluyendo aquellos limitados por el tiempo, pues todos los objetivos estan limitados al 2015 o al 2020), inequivocos, expansibles y completos (excluyendo aquellos limitados por el tiempo). Despues investigamos la relacion entre los puntajes de estos expertos y el progreso reportado hacia los elementos objetivo usando los resultados de dos valoraciones mundiales del progreso (el Pronostico Mundial de la Biodiversidad y la Plataforma Intergubernamental de Ciencia y Politica sobre la Biodiversidad y los Servicios Ambientales). Analizamos los datos con regresiones logisticas ordinales. Encontramos relaciones positivas significativas (p < 0.05) entre el progreso y el alcance al que fueron percibidos como medibles, realistas, inequivocos y expansibles los elementos objetivo. Hubo algo de evidencia de la relacion entre el progreso y la ambicion. Somos los primeros en mostrar las asociaciones entre el progreso y la extension hasta la que los Objetivos de Aichi cumplen con ciertos criterios SMART. Conforme proceden las negociaciones en torno al marco de trabajo de biodiversidad post-2020, quienes toman las decisiones deberian esforzarse por asegurar que los objetivos nuevos o revisados esten estructurados efectivamente y redactados claramente para permitir la traduccion de los objetivos hacia politicas factibles que puedan implementarse exitosamente a nivel nacional, regional y mundial. Resumen Article impact statement: A post-2020 framework for biodiversity conservation must ensure targets are clearly structured and worded to allow translation into policy.
