  • More about Transforming Biodiversity Governance


The UN Convention on Biological Diversity aims to develop and implement a transformative framework for biodiversity governance, prioritizing ecocentric, compassionate, and just sustainable development. This book argues that transformative biodiversity governance entails implementing five governance approaches - integrative, inclusive, adaptive, transdisciplinary, and anticipatory - in conjunction and focused on the underlying causes of biodiversity loss and unsustainability.

Over fifty years of global conservation efforts have fallen short in halting the decline in biodiversity, underscoring the urgent need for transformative change in our approach to governing biodiversity. The United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (UNCBD) serves as a crucial platform for developing and implementing a transformative framework for the upcoming decades. However, the complexities surrounding what constitutes transformative biodiversity governance and the practical ways to achieve it demand careful consideration.

In this book, we argue that transformative biodiversity governance entails prioritizing ecocentric, compassionate, and just sustainable development. This entails implementing five governance approaches, namely integrative, inclusive, adaptive, transdisciplinary, and anticipatory governance, in conjunction and focused on addressing the root causes of biodiversity loss and unsustainability.

Transforming Biodiversity Governance is a valuable resource for academics, policymakers, and practitioners engaged in biodiversity and sustainability governance. It is part of a series of publications associated with the Earth System Governance Project, and further information can be found at www.cambridge.org/earth-system-governance. Additionally, this title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core, ensuring accessibility to a broader audience.

By embracing transformative biodiversity governance, we can strive towards a future where biodiversity is valued, protected, and restored, contributing to the well-being of present and future generations.
