"The book evolved through presentations of draft chapters at ESG conferences, numerous discussions at workshops, CBD sessions, and meetings of the RBG network"--ECIP introduction. Includes bibliographical references and index.
"Over 50 years of global conservation has failed to bend the curve of biodiversity loss, so we need to transform the ways we govern biodiversity. The UN Convention on Biological Diversity aims to develop and implement a transformative framework for the coming decades. However, the question of what transformative biodiversity governance entails and how it can be implemented is complex. This book argues that transformative biodiversity governance means prioritizing ecocentric, compassionate and sustainable development. This involves implementing five governance approaches - integrative, inclusive, adaptive, transdisciplinary and anticipatory governance - in conjunction and focused on the underlying causes of biodiversity loss and unsustainability. Biodiversity Governance is an invaluable source for academics, policy makers and practitioners working in biodiversity governance. This is one of a series of publications associated with the Earth System Governance Project"-- Provided by publisher.
