Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
DISCLAIMER
The IPBES Global Assessment on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services is
composed of 1) a Summary for Policymakers (SPM), approved by the IPBES
Plenary at its 7th session in May 2019 in Paris, France (IPBES-7); and 2) a set of six
Chapters, accepted by the IPBES Plenary.
This document contains the draft Chapter 6 of the IPBES Global Assessment
on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services. Governments and all observers at
IPBES-7 had access to these draft chapters eight weeks prior to IPBES-7.
Governments accepted the Chapters at IPBES-7 based on the understanding that
revisions made to the SPM during the Plenary, as a result of the dialogue between
Governments and scientists, would be reflected in the final Chapters.
IPBES typically releases its Chapters publicly only in their final form, which implies a
delay of several months post Plenary. However, in light of the high interest for the
Chapters, IPBES is releasing the six Chapters early (31 May 2019) in a draft form.
Authors of the reports are currently working to reflect all the changes made to the
Summary for Policymakers during the Plenary to the Chapters, and to perform final
copyediting.
The final version of the Chapters will be posted later in 2019.
The designations employed and the presentation of material on the maps used in the
present report do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of
the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem
Services concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area or of its
authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries. These maps
have been prepared for the sole purpose of facilitating the assessment of the broad
biogeographical areas represented therein.

Executive Summary
1. The Sustainable Development Goals and the 2050 Vision for Biodiversity cannot be
achieved without transformative change, the conditions for which can be put in place
now (well established) {6.2; chapters 2, 3, 5}. In the short term (before 2030), all decision
makers can contribute to the sustainability transformation, including through enhanced and
improved implementation and enforcement of existing policy instruments and regulations,
and the reform and removal of harmful existing policies and subsidies (well established).
Additional measures are necessary to enable transformative change in the long term (up to
2050) to address the indirect drivers that are the root causes of nature deterioration (well
established), including changes in social, economic and technological structures within and
across nations {6.2, 6.3, 6.4}.
2. Transformative change needs innovative approaches to governance. Such
transformative governance can incorporate different existing approaches, such
as integrative, inclusive, informed and adaptive governance. While these governance
approaches have been extensively practiced and studied separately, their combined
contribution to enabling transformative change has not yet been thoroughly
explored (established but incomplete) {6.2}. An integrative approach contributes to ensure
policy coherence and effectiveness (well established). Inclusive approaches help to reflect a
plurality of values and ensure equity (established but incomplete), including through
equitable sharing of benefits arising from their use, and consideration of rights (established
but incomplete). Informed governance entails novel strategies for knowledge (co-)production
that are inclusive of diverse values and knowledge systems (established but incomplete).
Adaptive approaches, including learning from experience, monitoring and feedback loops,
contribute to preparing for and managing the inevitable uncertainties and complexities
associated with social and environmental changes (established but incomplete) {6.2}.
3. Empowering all actors can promote sustainability and ensure inclusiveness and
equity. Current policies and actions for nature, nature’s contributions to people (NCP) and
good quality of life (GQL) often privilege elite actors and their value systems, which hampers
their legitimacy and effectiveness (well established). Empowerment strategies can be
implemented by governments and civil society groups, and include education and information
instruments, but also redistribution of power and rights so that all can assume responsibility
and control over their lives and futures (well established). Existing approaches such as comanagement and community-based natural resource management can be effective in ensuring
the equal distribution of the costs and benefits of conservation and reconciling different
interests and values, provided that they recognize and address trade-offs and uneven power
relations (well established). Inclusiveness and equity will imply recognizing the inevitability
of hard choices, costs and common responsibilities (well established) {6.2; 6.3; 6.4}.
4. Effective decision making for transformative change uses a mix of instruments and
tools, and bridges across different sectors, levels and scales (established but incomplete).
Since no single instrument or tool is sufficient (well established), policy mixes need to be
carefully tailored to – together – effectively address all direct and indirect drivers of nature
deterioration {Table 6.1}. Sectoral policies and measures can be effective in particular
5
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
contexts, but often fail to account for indirect, distant and cumulative impacts, which can
have adverse effects, including exacerbating inequalities (established but incomplete). Crosssectoral approaches, including landscape approaches, integrated watershed and coastal zone
management, marine spatial planning, bioregional scale planning for energy and new urban
planning paradigms, offer opportunities to reconcile multiple interests, values and forms of
resource use, provided that these cross-sectoral approaches recognize trade-offs and uneven
power relations between stakeholders (established but incomplete) {6.3; 6.4}.
5. Since the effectiveness of alternative actions and policies depends on the decision
context, there are no generic recipes for success (established but incomplete). All decision
makers can contribute to enhancing the effectiveness of instruments in specific contexts over
time through informed and adaptive governance approaches. The comprehensive review of
the application of policy instruments presented in this chapter indicates that the
implementation of many existing instruments (e.g. protected areas) can be further enhanced,
while on the other hand the effectiveness and application of other instruments (e.g.
information campaigns for consumers or agricultural certification schemes) requires more
research. Since the effectiveness of many instruments for the conservation of nature and its
contributions in different contexts is currently unknown, more research and appropriate
monitoring is needed {6.3; 6.4}.
6. Decision makers have a range of options and tools for improving the sustainability of
economic and financial systems (well established) {6.4}. Achieving a sustainable
economy involves making fundamental reforms to economic and financial systems and
tackling poverty and inequality as vital parts of sustainability (well established) {6.4}.
Governments could reform subsidies and taxes to support nature and its contributions to
people, removing perverse incentives, and instead promoting diverse instruments such as
payments linked to social and environmental metrics, as appropriate (established but
incomplete) {6.4.1}. Trade agreements and derivatives markets can be reformed to promote
equity and prevent deterioration of nature, although there are uncertainties associated with
implementation (established but incomplete) {6.4.4}. To address overconsumption, voluntary
measures can be more effective when combined with additional incentives and regulation,
including promotion of circular economies and sustainable production models (well
established) {6.4.2; 6.4.3}. Although market-based policy instruments such as payments for
ecosystem services, voluntary certification and biodiversity offsetting have increased in use,
their effectiveness is mixed, and they are often contested; thus, they should be designed and
applied carefully to avoid perverse effects in context (established but incomplete) {6.3.2.2;
6.3.2.5; 6.3.6.3}. Alternative models and measures of economic welfare (such as inclusive
wealth accounting, natural capital accounting and degrowth models) are increasingly
considered as possible approaches to balancing economic growth and conservation of nature
and its contributions and recognizing trade-offs, value pluralism and long-term goals
(established but incomplete) {6.4.5}.
7. Recognizing the knowledge, innovations and practices, institutions and values of
indigenous peoples and local communities and their inclusion and participation in
environmental governance often enhances their quality of life, as well as nature
conservation, restoration and sustainable use, which is relevant to broader society (well
6
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
established) {6.2.4.4}. Governance, including customary institutions and management
systems, and co-management regimes involving indigenous peoples and local
communities, can be an effective way to safeguard nature and its contributions to
people, incorporating locally attuned management systems and indigenous and local
knowledge. The positive contributions of indigenous peoples and local communities to
sustainability can be facilitated through national recognition of land tenure, access and
resource rights in accordance with national legislation{6.3.2.3}, the application of free, prior
and informed consent {6.3.6}, increasing participation in resource management decisionmaking (including through capacity development and financial support) {6.2.4.4, 6.3.4}, and
improved collaboration, fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the use, and comanagement arrangements with local communities (well established) {6.2.4, 6.3.2.3}.
8. Multi-functional landscapes consisting of mixed land systems that include intensive
and extensive forms of land use are critical for food security and rural livelihoods,
generate a diversity of nature’s contributions to people, and can harbour considerable
biodiversity (well-established) {6.3.2}. At the same time, these landscapes are the space
where the largest conflicts with nature take place (well established). Policy mixes harmonized
across sectors, levels of governance and jurisdictions can account for ecological and social
differences across and beyond the landscape, build on existing forms of knowledge and
governance and address trade-offs between tangible and non-tangible benefits in a transparent
and equitable manner(established but incomplete). Options for the private sector - especially
local land managers - include diversified land uses and crops, including agroforestry
practices, crop rotations, maintenance of semi-natural habitats, soil conservation practices
and habitat restoration activities (well established). Options that require the engagement of all
actors related to the landscape (e.g., regional governments, producers, neighboring urban
inhabitants, protected area authorities) include context-sensitive combinations of
participatory approaches to resolve trade-offs and conflicts among objectives, certification
schemes for landscape products, direct payments such agri-environmental schemes and PES,
research on ecological intensification practices, technical outreach and information
campaigns (established but incomplete) {6.3.2}.
9. Feeding the world in a sustainable manner, especially in the context of climate change
and population growth, entails food systems that ensure adaptive capacity, minimize
environmental impacts, eliminate hunger, and contribute to human health and animal
welfare (established but incomplete) {6.3.2.1}. Ensuring the adaptive capacity of food
production incorporates measures that conserve the diversity of genes, varieties, cultivars,
breeds, landraces and species. Essentially, this refers to further improvement and
harmonization of present global mechanisms of genetic material transfers (e.g., the Nagoya
Protocol, the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture and
the International Convention for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants) (well established).
Options for the private sector – especially food producers – include expanding and enhancing
sustainable intensification, engaging in ecological intensification and sustainable use of
multi-functional landscapes, increasing focus on climate-resilient agriculture, and improving
food distribution (established but incomplete). Options for governments at the international
and national levels include regulating commodity chains, managing large-scale land
acquisitions, and expanding food market transparency and price stability. Options that
7
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
address and engage other actors in food systems (including the public sector, civil society and
consumers, grassroot movements) include participatory on-farm research, promotion of lowimpact and healthy diets and localization of food systems. Such options could help reduce
food waste, overconsumption, and demand for animal products from unsustainable
production, which could have synergistic benefits for human health (established but
incomplete) {6.3.2.1}.
10. Sustainable forest management can be better achieved through promoting
multifunctional, multi-use, multi-stakeholder and improving community-based
approaches to forest governance and management (well established) {6.3.2.2}. National
and subnational governments can further promote and strengthen community-based
management and governance, including customary institutions and management systems, and
co-management regimes involving indigenous peoples and local communities with due
recognition of their knowledge and rights who manage almost one third of the forests in the
Global South; and improve the conservation and sustainable use of (old-growth) forests
through a combination of measures and practices, including protected and other conservation
areas; sustainable management and reduced impact logging, forest certification, PES and
reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+); supporting
reforestation and forest restoration; transparent monitoring; and addressing illegal logging
(established but incomplete). International agencies can technically and financially support
governments and other stakeholders in achieving the above, including through effective
implementation of multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs) and other relevant
international agreements (well established). Decision makers at all levels can also improve
forest governance by recognizing different value systems while formulating forest policies
and making management decisions and adopting informed and adaptive decision-making
practices (established but incomplete) {6.2.4.1; 6.3.2.2; 6.3.2.3}.
11. Good governance, stronger societal engagement, better benefit-sharing mechanisms,
increased funding, and improved law enforcement can enhance protected area
management (well established) {6.3.2.3}. Protected areas support nature, deliver NCP and
contribute to good quality life (well established). National governments play a central role in
supporting effective, expanded and ecologically representative networks of well-connected
Protected Areas and other multi-functional conservation areas by developing robust and
inclusive decision-making processes (well established), and managing trade-offs among
societal objectives representing diverse worldviews and multiple values of nature (established
but incomplete). Governance diversity, tailored to the local conditions, includes comanagement schemes, local empowerment, and formal recognition of IPLCs rights over their
territories (well established). Large-scale, proactive landscape planning, including
transboundary conservation planning, helps prioritize land uses that balance nature, NCP and
GQL (well established). Illegal wildlife trade could be addressed through effective
enforcement, including the establishment of a global enforcement agency for CITES,
prioritization of wildlife crime in criminal justice systems, demand reduction measures, and
the implementation of strong measures to combat corruption at all levels (established but
incomplete) {6.3.2.3}.

12. Managing coastal and near-shore ocean management for sustainable and resilient
futures, in the face of economic pressures and climate change, entails applying policy
mixes, including integrated coastal planning and restoration, designation and expansion
of Marine Protected Areas, control of plastic and other pollution, and reform of fishery
subsidy strategies (established but incomplete) {6.3.3.3}. Marine protected areas (MPAs)
have demonstrated success in both biodiversity conservation and improved local quality of
life when managed effectively. MPAs can be further expanded through larger or more
interconnected protected areas or new protected areas in currently under-represented regions
and key biodiversity areas (established but incomplete) {6.3.3.3.1}. The fishing industry, a
major source of aquatic biodiversity losses, can be supported by positive incentives and
removal of perverse subsidies to change current practices and remove derelict gear that
threatens nature (well established) {6.3.3.3.2}. Improved surveillance and investment in
scientific research are critical Due to major pressures on coasts (including development, land
reclamation and water pollution), implementing marine conservation outside protected areas,
such as integrated coastal planning, is important for biodiversity conservation and sustainable
use (established but incomplete) {6.3.3.3}. Other measures to expand multi-sectoral
cooperation on coastal management include corporate social responsibility measures,
standards for building and construction and eco-labelling (well-established) {6.3.3.3.2,
6.3.3.3.5}. Additional tools could include economic instruments for financing conservation
both non-market and market based, including for example payment for ecosystem services,
biodiversity offset schemes, blue-carbon sequestration, cap-and-trade programs, green bonds
and trust funds and new legal instruments {6.3.3.1.3}.
13. Governance for the oceans and high seas is currently marked by policy
fragmentation leading to nature deterioration (established but incomplete) {6.3.3.1}. To
sustain biodiversity and fisheries in the high seas, existing sectoral regulatory agencies such
as shipping authorities and Regional Fisheries Management Organizations can increase the
pace of mainstreaming nature into their policies (well-established) {6.3.3.2}. Based on the
experience of regional fisheries management organisations, a strong science foundation for
informed governance is essential for effective protection, although costly in terms of human
resources and technology (well established) {6.3.3.2.2}. Cost-effectiveness can be achieved
through sharing and integrating information systems across agencies and sectors (e.g.,
shipping, fishing, mining, and port agencies) and through collaboration between industry,
governments and non-governmental organizations (well-established) {6.3.3.1.1}. New legal
instruments such as the proposed international legally binding instrument under the United
Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) on the conservation and sustainable
use of marine biodiversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction could accelerate national
action to provide nature protection, particularly when combined with strengthened regional
cooperation (established but incomplete) {6.3.3.3.1, 6.3.3.1.1}.
14. Inclusive water governance can promote informed decisions, facilitate stronger
interaction between communities and conservation activities, and foster equity among
water users (well established) {6.3.4}. Creating a space for stakeholder engagement and
transparency in water conservation and transboundary water management can help to
minimize environmental, economic and social conflicts as well as risks (well established)
{6.3.4.3, 6.3.4.7}. Integrated freshwater management depends, inter alia, on recognizing the
9
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
functional interdependencies between and among rural landscape management and urban
demands, incorporating a regional view of the water cycle, understanding of conflicting
interests for water uses, and assessing the opportunities for cooperation among users
(established but incomplete) {6.3.4.1, 6.3.4.2, 6.3.4.6}. In the short term, collection and
monitoring of data remains crucial to governments and private actors for water abstraction
and management due to the interconnected nature of surface and groundwater (well
established) {6.3.4.1}. With regard to watershed payment for ecosystem services programs,
their effectiveness and efficiency can be enhanced by acknowledging multiple values in their
design, implementation and evaluation, and setting up impact evaluation systems (established
but incomplete) {6.3.4.4}. National regulatory frameworks, policy guidance, institutional
arrangements, and water quality standards can set benchmarks for better performance and
attract investment to improve water resources and conditions (well established) {6.3.4.5,
6.3.4.6}.
15. Nature-based solutions can be cost-effective for meeting the Sustainable
Development Goals in cities, which are crucial for global sustainability (established but
incomplete) {6.3.5}. Integrated urban planning can play a significant role in reducing the
environmental impacts of cities and the transformation to sustainability (well established)
{6.3.5.1, 6.3.5.3}. Nature-based approaches include safeguarding or retrofitting of green and
blue infrastructure such as green spaces, water, and vegetation and tree cover into existing
urban areas and in new settlements. They can contribute to flood protection, temperature
regulation, urban food production, recreation, cleaning of air and water, treating wastewater
and the provision of energy, locally sourced food and the health benefits of interacting with
nature. They can also enhance urban biodiversity, and they can provide cost effective
solutions for local climate change adaptation and promoting low carbon cities (well
established) {6.3.5.2}. Nature-based solutions and integrated planning also enable improved
access to social services, such as sanitation and housing (well established) {6.3.5.4}.
16. Recognizing pluralistic values and diverse interests are key to mitigating the
impacts, and enabling the sustainable management of energy, mining and
infrastructure (established but incomplete) {6.3.6}. At all levels of governance, it is crucial
to integrate sustainability criteria and internalize the impacts of bioenergy projects on nature
(established but incomplete) {6.3.6.1}. Promoting innovative financing and ensuring
compensation for environmental and social impacts of energy, mining and infrastructure
projects are important measures in the sustainable energy transition and responsible mining
(established but incomplete) {6.3.6.2, 6.3.6.3, 6.3.4.6}. Community-based management and
respect for the rights of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities to land and water has
emerged as a way to ensure access to clean, reliable and affordable energy (well established)
{6.3.6.4, 6.3.6.5}. Incentive programs and policies can also aim at reducing consumption,
improving energy efficiency, and supporting community-based management and
decentralized sustainable energy production {6.3.6.1,6.3.6.3, 6.3.6.4,6.3.6.5}.

6.1 Introduction
In recent decades, the extent and scope of societal responses to environmental problems,
including biodiversity decline, have been extensive and diverse. The outcomes, however, have
been mixed across sectors and levels of governance, with limited success in reverting global
trends and in addressing the root causes of degradation. Lessons and opportunities also abound,
amid new challenges and scenarios. This chapter discusses opportunities and challenges for all
decision makers to advance their efforts in meeting, synergistically, internationally agreed goals
for sustainable development, biodiversity conservation, and climate change mitigation and
adaptation. In doing so, the chapter builds on the analysis in the previous chapters, which have
identified direct and indirect drivers of change, evaluated progress or lack of progress in
achieving the Aichi Biodiversity Targets, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and
several environmental conventions, and assessed plausible scenarios and possible pathways.
Previous chapters of the present assessment show that, despite progress on various goals and
targets and improvements in environmental indicators in many regions, species diversity,
ecosystems functions and the contributions they provide to society continue to decline, further
reinforcing both environmental and societal problems.
While progress can be made to achieve the Aichi Biodiversity Targets, the CBD 2050 Vision and
the SDGs using current policies, practices and technologies, and within current national and
international governance structures, these are not enough to address current and projected trends.
It has become widely recognized that transformative change is needed to fully realize these
ambitions (CBD/SBSTTA/21/5, 12 October 2017; CBD/SBSTTA/21/2, 15 September 2017). In
fact, the adoption of the SDG shows that the international community has committed itself to
such transformative change: “We are determined to take the bold and transformative steps which
are urgently needed to shift the world on to a sustainable and resilient path” (UNGA, 2015).
Transformative change can be defined as a fundamental, system-wide reorganization across
technological, economic and social factors, including paradigms, goals and values (IPBES,
2018a; IPCC, 2018). Such fundamental, structural change is called for, since current structures
often inhibit sustainable development, and actually represent the indirect drivers of biodiversity
loss (Díaz et al., 2015) (See Section 6.2. below). Transformative change is thus meant to
simultaneously and progressively address these indirect drivers. The character and trajectories of
this transformation will be different in different contexts, with challenges and needs differing,
among others, in developing and developed countries.
Innovative governance arrangements, which can incorporate different approaches, such
as integrative, inclusive, informed and adaptive governance, can enable such transformative
change (see section 6.2). The concept of governance refers to the formal and informal (and
public and private) rules, rule-making systems, and actor-networks at all levels of human society
(from local to global) that are set up to steer societies towards positive outcomes and away from
harmful ones (adapted from Biermann et al., 2010).

In response to the interconnected challenges of sustainable development, biodiversity
conservation, and climate change identified in previous chapters, this chapter organizes its
analysis on the options for decision makers around sustainability pathways in five domains:
terrestrial landscapes (6.3.2), marine, coastal and fisheries (6.3.3); freshwater (6.3.4); cities
(6.3.5); and energy and infrastructure (6.3.6). Finally, the chapter discusses approaches and
conditions that enable transformation towards sustainable economies (6.4). Each of these major
issues is considered in terms of short- and long-term options, and against possible obstacles for
decision makers to enable transformative change. The chapter distinguishes different decision
makers (see Table 6.2).
Table 6.2: List of decision makers
Decision makers
1
Global and regional (inter-)governmental organizations (UN, MEA secretariats etc.)
2
National, sub-national and local governments
3
Private sector
4
Civil society, including:
• Citizens (households, consumers), community groups, farmers
• NGOs (e.g., environmental, human development, consumer, trade unions)
5
Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs)
6
Donor agencies (public and private)
7
Science and educational organizations
Our analysis of options implemented so far shows that, already in the short-term (before 2030),
all decision makers can contribute to the transformation towards sustainability by applying
existing policy instruments, which need to be enhanced and used together strategically in order
to become transformative – in other words – not only address direct drivers, but especially
indirect drivers. The existing instruments discussed in sections 6.3 and 6.4 can thus be further
enhanced based on the lessons learned from earlier experiences with implementation. In the
long-term (today-2050), transformative change will entail additional measures and governance
approaches to change technological, economic, and social structures within and across nations.
Below, the chapter first discusses transformative change and transformative governance (section
6.2), after which the options for decision makers on the main issues are discussed (section 6.3).
Section 6.4 highlights more generic options for a sustainable economy. The options in sections
6.3 and 6.4 are based on a systematic literature review of existing and emerging governance
instruments and approaches. The review especially highlights lessons relevant to transformative
governance, including cross-sectoral approaches and synergies and trade-offs between different
societal goals, the impact of telecoupling of distant drivers, and lessons learned from
incorporating diverse values, rights-based approaches and equity concerns in decision making
and policy implementation (see section 6.2).

Due to the scope of the chapter’s coverage and the extent of the literature review supporting it,
the chapter includes a Supplementary Material document. A significant amount of the literature
evidence supporting statements made in the chapter are presented there, thus we encourage the
reader to consult Supplementary Material when cross-references are made in the main chapter.
6.2 Towards transformative governance
As introduced in 6.1, transformative change can be defined as societal change in terms of
technological, economic and social structures. It includes both personal and social transformation
(Otsuki, 2015), and includes shifts in values and beliefs, and patterns of social behavior (Chaffin
et al., 2016).
Transformative change has emerged in the policy discourse and is increasingly seen as both
necessary and inevitable for biodiversity-related issues and sustainable development more
broadly. The Convention on Biodiversity (CBD), European Environment Agency (EEA, 2015),
OECD (OECD, 2015), World Bank (Evans & Davies, 2014), UN (UNEP, 2012), UNESCO
(ISSC/UNESCO, 2013), European Union, national governments and the German Advisory
Council on Global Change (WBGU, 2011), for example, have over the past years launched
reports and policy programs in support of sustainability transformations or transitions. This
attention is based upon the increasing understanding of the persistency of the complex
sustainability challenges we face: in spite of high ambitions, policy commitments, large-scale
investments in innovation and voluntary actions, our economies are still developing along
unsustainable pathways pushing ecological boundaries (Rockstrom et al., 2009; Future Earth,
2014). To escape this path-dependency it is increasingly clear that structural, systemic change is
necessary, and continuing along current trajectories increases the likelihood of disruptions,
shocks and undesired systemic change.
This process of non-linear systemic change in complex societal systems has become the object of
research especially since the late 1990s under the headers of ‘transformation’ (Feola, 2015;
Olsson et al., 2014; Folke et al., 2010; Moore et al., 2014) and ‘transition’ (Geels, 2002; Grin et
al., 2010; Markard et al., 2012; Rotmans et al., 2001; van den Bergh et al., 2011; Turnheim et al.,
2015). While having different disciplinary origins (Hölscher et al., 2018), both terms are
increasingly used in a similar way referring to a particular type of change, namely non-linear and
systemic shifts from one dynamic equilibrium to another (Patterson et al., 2016). A range of
different scientific disciplines has studied underlying patterns and mechanisms of such
transformation. Prominent fields of research include resilience, sustainability transition,
innovation studies and social innovation research. While these debates have often remained
rather a-political, a more critical perspective is emerging (see e.g. Blythe et al., 2018; Chaffin et
al., 2016; Lawhon & Murphy, 2012; Meadowcroft, 2009; Scoones et al., 2015) that incorporates
politics, power, legitimacy and equity issues, recognizing that transformations include the
making of “hard choices” by decision makers (Meadowcroft, 2009).
21
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
Governing transformative change, or transformative governance, can be defined as “an approach
to environmental governance that has the capacity to respond to, manage, and trigger regime
shifts in coupled socio-ecological systems at multiple scales” (Chaffin et al., 2016).
Transformative governance is deliberate (Chaffin et al., 2016), and inherently political (Blythe et
al., 2018), since the desired direction of the transformation is negotiated and contested, and
power relations will change because of the transformation (Chaffin et al., 2016). Current vested
interests (including in certain technologies) are thus expected to inhibit, challenge, slow down or
downsize transformative change, among others through “lock-ins” (see e.g., Blythe et al., 2018;
Chaffin et al., 2016; Meadowcroft, 2009). The debate on the related term “transition
management” (Rotmans & Loorbach, 2010) points to the importance of (facilitating) emergent
and co-evolutionary changes in cultures, structures and practices that challenge incumbent
‘regimes’ (Frantzeskaki et al., 2017). This in itself requires forms of governance that
complement more institutionalized, consensus-based and incremental policies by facilitating
transformative actor-networks, back-casting processes, strategic experimentation and reflexive
learning.
Transformative governance often needs a ‘policy’ or ‘governance’ mix aimed at navigating
transformations (Kivimaa & Kern, 2016; Loorbach, 2014; Berkes et al., 2008). In such a mix,
instruments that facilitate the build-up of alternatives, the gradual change of institutional
structures and the managed phase-out of undesirable elements need to be combined, dynamically
based on a systemic understanding of the present transition dynamics (Loorbach et al., 2017).
How this is operationalized depends on the type of organization and level of operation and the
types of (transformative) capacities, instruments and methods available (Wolfram, 2017; Fischer
& Newig, 2016; Patterson et al., 2016). Through co-creative multi-actor processes (Avelino &
Wittmayer, 2015; Brown et al., 2013) of seeking joint understandings of collective transition
contexts and formulating shared desired future directions, different actors can align long-term
agendas and more strategically use and implement short-term actions to guide and direct
emerging transitions towards sustainable futures.
Transformative change thus needs innovative approaches to governance. Such transformative
governance can incorporate different existing approaches, which we group into four domains,
namely integrative, inclusive, informed and adaptive governance. While these approaches have
been extensively practiced and studied separately, their combined contribution to enabling
transformative change has not yet been thoroughly explored.
Transformative governance is: 1) integrative, since the change is related to and influenced by
changes elsewhere (at other scales, locations, on other issues) (see e.g., Chaffin et al., 2016;
Karki, 2017; Reyers et al., 2018; Wagner & Wilhelmer, 2017); 2) informed, based on different
and credible knowledge systems (Blythe et al., 2018; Chaffin et al., 2016; Couvet & Prevot,
2015); 3) adaptive, based on learning, experimentation, reflexivity, monitoring and feedback
(Colloff et al., 2017; Chaffin et al., 2016; Laakso et al., 2017; Meadowcroft, 2009; Otsuki, 2015;
Rijke et al., 2013; Wagner & Wilhelmer, 2017); and finally 4) inclusive since transformative
change per definition includes different types of actors, interests and values, and needs to address
22
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
issues of social justice (Chaffin et al., 2016; Otsuki, 2015; Blythe et al., 2018; Li & Kampmann,
2017; Meadowcroft, 2009; Thomalla et al., 2018; Wolfram, 2016). Below we elaborate on each
of these four approaches to governance (not presented in order of importance).
6.2.1 Integrative governance: addressing policy incoherence
Since the middle of the 20th century, hundreds of multilateral environmental agreements,
governmental policies and (public-) private initiatives have been developed, many of which are
focused on, or relevant for, biodiversity. Moreover, different economic and policy sectors
(including biodiversity conservation, climate change, agriculture, and mining) are often governed
in silos at all levels of governance. This raises questions per level of governance and across
levels of governance on synergies and trade-offs between different societal goals (see e.g.,
Mauerhofer & Essl, 2018). This is especially important for transformative change - the SDG
cannot all be achieved simultaneously if they are not approached in an integrative manner - as
recognized by the UN, which have stated that the goals and their targets are “integrated in
indivisible” (UNGA, 2015).
This fragmentation and complexity of the governance for sustainable development are well
recognized among scholars (see e.g., Alter & Meunier, 2009; Bogdanor, 2005; Rayner et al.,
2010; Tamanaha, 2008; Young, 1996), and policy makers are actively trying to enhance
synergies and address trade-offs. The CBD, for example, promotes mainstreaming of
biodiversity concerns into sectors impacting biodiversity, such as agriculture, forestry, fisheries,
and tourism (UNEP/CBD/COP/13/24).
Integrative governance, defined and the theories and practices focused on the relationships
between governance instruments or systems (Visseren-Hamakers, 2015; 2018), addresses these
challenges of incoherence in sustainability governance. The literature suggests various options
for integrative governance, including:
-
-
Integrated management (Born & Sonzogni, 1995), landscape governance and approaches
(Buizer et al., 2015; Görg, 2007; Sayer et al., 2013), the nexus approach (Benson et al., 2015;
Rasul & Sharma, 2016), multilevel governance (Hooghe & Marks, 2003; Marks et al., 1996),
and telecoupling (Liu et al., 2013), which bring together (or highlight the relationships
between) different sectors, policies or levels of governance in trying to enhance coherence;
(Environmental) policy integration (Jordan & Lenschow, 2010; Persson & Runhaar, 2018)
and mainstreaming (Karlsson-Vinkhuyzen et al., 2017; Kok and de Coninck, 2007), which
aim to strengthen attention for environmental issues in other sectors;
Interaction management (Oberthür, 2016), metagovernance, and orchestration (Abbott &
Snidal, 2010; Kooiman & Jentoft, 2009), which aim to improve the relationships between
(groups of) governance instruments; and
Smart regulation and policy mixes (Gunningham and Grabosky, 1998; Mees et al., 2014),
which combine different instruments to be more effective together.
23
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
Additional concepts used to discuss and study integrative governance include interorganizational
relations (see e.g., Schmidt & Kochan, 1977), legal pluralism (Griffiths 1986; Merry, 1988),
polycentric governance (Ostrom, 2010), regime complexity and fragmentation (Biermann et al.,
2009; Fischer-Lescano & Teubner, 2003), coordination (Peters, 1998), coherence (Jones, 2002),
institutional interplay or interaction (Oberthür and Gehring, 2006), governance architectures and
systems (Biermann et al., 2009), regime complexes (Abbott, 2012; Raustiala & Victor, 2004),
and governance of complex systems (Young, 2017) (see Visseren-Hamakers, 2015, 2018). See
Box 6.1 for an example of Integrative Governance.
Box 6.1. Example of Integrative Governance – CCAMLR
The Commission on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
manages the currently active fisheries in the Antarctic Treaty System area (Patagonian toothfish
(Dissostichus eleginoides), Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni), mackerel icefish
(Champsocephalus gunnari) and Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba)). The commission
exemplifies integrative governance since it uses a precautionary ecosystem-based approach that
considers not just the commercial fish species but also the wider ecosystem, and because its
management objectives balance conservation goals with the rational use of living resources,
while safeguarding ecological relationships. It does so by using clear decision rules to agree on
catch limits in each fishery. It also relies on detailed data from the fisheries and fishery surveys,
and the CCAMLR Scheme of International Scientific Observation to monitor CCAMLR
fisheries and to forecast fishery closures. Members implement compliance systems that include
vessel licensing, satellite monitoring of vessel movements and transshipments, together with
measures to specifically address the threat of illegal, unregulated and unreported (IUU) fishing.
The CCAMLR conservation measures are generally seen to be efficiently implemented and
represent a leading example of an agreement between over 50 States that has been effective in
conserving the living resources of a significant part of the world’s ocean.
6.2.2 Informed governance: based on legitimate and credible knowledge
Traditionally, biodiversity governance has relied on natural science tools including red lists,
monitoring and indicator frameworks, and models and scenarios to characterize, assess and
project ecological values such as productivity, species diversity, or threatenedness. In addition,
multidisciplinary tools containing knowledge and information about ecosystems, social systems,
and economics, such as cost-benefit analysis, sustainability indicators, or integrated assessments
are widely used and considered valuable for their ability to offer an integrated perspective (Ness
et al., 2007). Increasingly, these information tools and systems focus on the measurement,
modeling and assessment of natural capital and ecosystem services (Turnhout et al., 2013;
McElwee, 2017).
These information tools and systems have several challenges and limitations. These include
technical challenges such as standardization, data quality and availability, and interoperability
and commensurability of data (Bohringer & Jochem, 2007; Kumar Singh et al., 2009). More
important is that they are mostly not fit for purpose to inform transformative governance. One
24
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
reason is that they often focus exclusively on environmental dimensions and are insufficiently
inclusive of diverse values (Turnhout et al., 2013; 2018; Gupta et al., 2012; Elgert, 2010). For
example, biodiversity and ecosystem services models and assessments often use causal and
mechanistic frameworks, such as the DPSIR (Drivers, Pressures, States, Impacts, Responses)
approach, which are limited in their ability to account for both complex causal pathways and
societal factors such as institutions and values affecting them (Svarstadt et al., 2008; Breslow,
2015). Equally, the usefulness of indicator and monitoring systems is hindered by their technical
and specialized nature and by the way in which they prioritize specific values over others
(Turnhout, 2009; Merry, 2011).
Transformative governance calls for expanding existing information systems and tools to include
indicators and parameters to assess the integrative, informed, adaptive and inclusive nature of
governance processes, policies and interventions as well as their intended and unintended effects
on Nature, NCP and GQL. An interesting initiative in this respect is Conservation Evidence,
which aims to improve conservation practice by collating, reviewing, assessing and summarizing
all available evidence on the effectiveness of conservation interventions (Sutherland et al., 2004,
2014, 2017). It is conceived to be a free, open-access and authoritative resource designed to
support informed decisions about how to maintain and restore global biodiversity, thereby
combatting the phenomenon of evidence complacency, where evidence is not used in
conservation decision-making (Dicks et al., 2014; Cook et al., 2017; Sutherland & Wordley,
2017).
Informing transformative governance also requires reconsideration of the relationship between
knowledge and decision-making. Scientific expertise is not in all cases required for effective and
legitimate action, and the relationship between knowledge and decision-making is not
straightforward or self-evident (Dessai et al., 2009; Kolinjivadi et al., 2017; Wesselink et al.,
2013. Dilling and Lemos, 2011, Sutherland et al., 2004; Matzek et al., 2014; Pullin et al., 2014).
This means that existing information systems and tools will need to be adapted to produce
knowledge that is inclusive of multiple values and forms of scientific and non-scientific
knowledge, including indigenous and local knowledge (ILK), and that is credible, legitimate and
salient for all relevant stake- and knowledge-holders (Cash et al., 2003; Robertson & Hull, 2001;
Mauser et al., 2013; Sterling et al., 2017).
A crucial element in the production of legitimate and credible information is the facilitation of
dialogue and learning (Lemos & Moorehouse, 2005; Breslow, 2015; Kok et al., 2017; Peterson et
al., 2003; Turnhout et al., 2007; Voinov & Bousquet, 2010). Literature on transdisciplinarity and
coproduction offers a variety of tools and methods that can be used by governments, NGOs but
also in bottom-up processes, to organize processes of participatory knowledge production that
are able to bridge practical, scientific and technical knowledge, as well as ILK (Tengö et al.,
2014, 2017; Clark et al., 2016). Experiences with participatory modeling and scenario planning
have shown amongst others that participants were better able to grapple with complexity and
uncertainty and that scenarios developed on the basis of input from stakeholders were helpful in
identifying different interests and facilitated communication between stakeholders and
governments (De Bruin et al., 2017; Tress & Tress, 2003; Whyte et al., 2014). Similarly,
participatory – or citizen science - approaches involving stakeholders in the selection and
monitoring of indicators can not just contribute to the availability of relevant data, but also to
25
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
engagement with nature and enhanced decision-making (Fraser et al., 2006; Danielsen et al.,
2014). An interesting example has come from the availability of real-time satellite data, which
are used by initiatives like Global Forest Watch to support national and sub-national
governments, civil society and the private sector to engage in forest monitoring and conservation
(FAO, 2015; GFW, 2017; Nepstad et al., 2014; Assunção et al., 2015).
However, the application of these inclusive and participatory approaches so far is limited (Brandt
et al., 2013), and their ability to produce positive outcomes for problem solving and stakeholder
empowerment depends on the presence of an enabling institutional context (Armitage et al.,
2011) which is able to effectively address unequal power relations between stake- and
knowledge-holders (Nadasdy, 2003; Dilling & Lemos, 2011).
6.2.3 Adaptive governance to enable learning
Transformative change is in essence adaptive – it represents a learning process that needs regular
opportunities for reflection on to what extent and how progress is being made, the main
bottlenecks, and the best ways forward. Adaptive governance is a result of continuously learning
about and adjusting responses to uncertainty, social conflicts and complexity in socio-ecological
systems (Chaffin et al., 2014; Dietz et al., 2003; Walker et al., 2004; Folke et al., 2005; Folke,
2006; Karpouzoglou et al., 2016).
Adaptive governance includes policy processes that highlight uncertainties, developing and
evaluating different hypotheses around a set of outcomes and structuring actions to evaluate
these ideas (Berkes et al., 2003; Paul-Wost, 2009). Adaptive governance also focuses on
enhancing the resilience of socio-ecological systems by increasing their capacity to adapt, and by
recognizing the importance of learning in coping with change and uncertainty (Evans, 2012).
Studies on adaptive governance advocate for an experimental approach to governing such as
creating institutions that can experiment with different solutions and make adjustments in the
process (Holling, 2004).
There are various challenges stated in the literature that can be seen as problematic in engaging
with an adaptive governance paradigm. According to Gunderson (1999) these are inflexible
social systems, ecological systems that lack resilience, and technological incapacity to design
experimental and innovative approaches. Also, the question of scale is essential in adaptive
governance mechanisms. The scale for adaptive governance responses needs to be adapted to the
social and ecological nature of the problem with sufficient response flexibility within and
between political boundaries (Cosens, 2010, 2013; Huitema et al., 2009; Termeer et al., 2010).
Adaptive management, through monitoring and feedback, is widely recognized as a management
approach to ensure effective conservation (Walters, 1986). Several studies confirm the benefits
of adaptive management and “learning through doing” (Kenward et al., 2011; CBD, 2004; Bern
Convention, 2007), and adaptive management has been applied in the ecosystem approach in
26
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
order to deal with the complex and dynamic nature of ecosystems and the absence of complete
knowledge or understanding of their functioning (CBD, 2017). According to Lebel et al. (2006),
adaptability is determined by two factors: (1) the absolute and relative forms of social, human,
natural, manufactured, and financial capital, and (2) the system of institutions and governance. In
order to enable a capacity to adapt, it is crucial to build trust and shared understanding between
diverse stakeholders to motivate co-learning and adaptation. Accordingly, deliberation and
polycentric governance are offered as tools for enabling adaptive governance.
Dietz et al. (2003) propose a general list of criteria necessary for adaptive governance: inclusive
dialogue between resource users (analytic deliberation); complex, redundant, layered institutions
(nesting); mixed institutional types (e.g., market- and state-based); and institutional designs that
facilitate experimentation, learning, and preparation for change. See Box 6.2 for an example of
adaptive governance.
Box 6.2. Example of Adaptive Governance - Urban green spaces and urban agriculture:
Uses of vacant lots in urban areas are increasingly recognized as important sites for enhancing
provisioning of nature’s contributions, such as water provisioning or climate regulation, and can
also be used for food provisioning through urban agriculture. Adaptive governance principles
have been realized in several “land bank” systems in the USA, such as in Cleveland, which join
public and private organizations to purchase or reclaim parcels and then manage them adaptively
for multiple objectives. Such strategies include plans to increase connectivity between lots and
incorporate community involvement in lot management (Green et al., 2016).
6.2.4 Inclusive governance: ensuring equity and participation
Inclusive governance refers to governing mechanisms that enable participation of different
stakeholders, including communities, in decision-making processes. It is argued that inclusive
governance improves the quality of decisions and secures legitimacy for the decisions that are
taken. Reform of decision-making processes is also necessary to enhance accountability and
legitimacy (Keohane, 2003; Bernstein, 2005; Biermann & Gupta, 2011; Evans, 2012).
Participatory mechanisms that introduce dialogue and negotiation can be used to discover
varying and potentially competing values and knowledge systems and identify options for more
equitable decisions and implementation of these decisions, and enable learning (see e.g. Innes
and Booher, 1999). However, power asymmetries can also affect the manners in which values
and knowledge systems are represented in such participatory platforms. Policymaking processes
have often inadequately addressed minority groups or the interests and values of people who are
actually or potentially affected, directly or indirectly. Procedural equity deals with power
asymmetries that affect whose voice is heard and who has a say in access and control of nature
(McDermott et al., 2013).
Deliberative processes are widely recognized by practitioners as useful in many contexts,
including urban planning, healthcare and water governance (Andersson & Ostrom, 2008; Neef,
27
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
2009; Parkins & Mitchell, 2005). Deliberative approaches are based on the assumption that
competing interests and values can only be discovered, constructed and reflected in a dialogue
with others (Rhodes, 1997; Dryzek, 2000; Kenter, 2016). Examples of deliberative institutions
are citizen juries, consensus conferences and focus groups (Pelletier et al., 1999; Smith, 2003;
Lienhoop, 2015). Deliberative approaches are mostly applied at the local level, but can also be
used at other levels of governance Deliberative valuation can also capture the interests of future
generations (Soma & Vatn, 2010; Stagl, 2006; Sagoff, 1998).
Deliberation is considered to be an integrating and bridging approach to valuation (Pascual et al.,
2017). Howarth and Wilson (2006) also describe the ways in which deliberative monetary
valuation could contribute to social fairness. However, after deliberation it will nevertheless be
essential that results be articulated in a metric that is comparable with conventional ecosystem
service valuation techniques such as the contingent valuation method (Wilson & Howarth, 2002).
Inclusive governance to enhance transformative change thus needs to consider the importance of
including diverse value systems, rights-holders, genders and IPLCs. These are discussed in more
detail below (see Box. 6.3 for an example of inclusive governance).
6.2.4.1 Value Systems
Decisions – made at the individual or institutional level and at different scales – are necessarily
embedded in a given value system, historically rooted in the socio-cultural context and power
relations; yet, such value systems may not be explicitly reflected upon (Barton et al., 2018;
Berbés-Blázquez et al., 2016). Depending on whether a unidimensional or a more diverse (value
pluralism) lens is applied by the decision maker, policy objectives, as well as policy instruments
will be determined differently through formal and informal institutions (Pascual et al., 2017; also
see Chapter 1). Legal, economic and socio-cultural instruments currently regulating the use of
nature and its contributions usually fail to address plural and multiple values of nature, instead
they focus on unidimensional values (Chan et al., 2016; Kolinjivadi et al., 2017; Tallis et al.,
2014; Spangenberg & Settele, 2016) (See Supplementary Materials 6.1.1 for a discussion on
market-based instruments). Additionally, they often have unintended consequences, such as
motivational crowding 1 (Rode et al., 2015; Vatn, 2010; Vatn et al., 2014), trade-offs and
conflicts (Kovács et al., 2015; Turkelboom et al., 2018, Whittaker et al., 2018), or impacts on
justice and power relations (Berbés-Blázquez et al., 2016; Pascual & Howe, 2018; Sikor, 2014).
Being transparent about underlying value systems and accommodating plural values and
knowledge forms in decision-making widens collaboration and creates more inclusive
institutional arrangements (Ainscough et al., 2018; O’Neill & Spash, 2000). However, decision
making in this context might be technically challenging (Dendoncker et al., 2018; Phelps et al.,
9F
1
Motivational crowding means that the intended motivational impact of an incentive interacts and often changes the
internal / intrinsic motivations of actors. Crowding-in means that an external incentive strenghtens intrinsic
motivations, while crowding-out means that the incentive decreases intrinsic motivations to protect biodiversity
(Rode et al. 2015; Vatn et al. 2014).
28
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
2017; Primmer et al., 2018), because value articulation needs to be equitable; conflicts often
emerge between stakeholders holding different values; and plural and incommensurable values
are difficult to operationalize in decision making (e.g., include in accounting), among others.
6.2.4.2 Rights-based approaches
Rights-based approaches, at the substantive and procedural level, are multifaceted, and crucial to
various aspects of governance including inclusive (e.g., participation rights) and informed (e.g.,
information rights) governance. In order to promote GQL, national laws and policies integrate
the substantive right to a healthy environment, life, water, food, standard of living, and health
(Knox, 2013, 2017; Draft Framework Principles on Human Rights and the Environment, 2018).
Regional and national laws and policies also integrate procedural rights to information and
participation in decision-making (Aarhus Convention, 1998; Escazú Agreement, 2018; Knox,
2013, 2017).
In addition, strong land and sea rights, including ownership and use rights, can promote local
empowerment, reduce tensions between the authorities and resource users, and can be
successfully integrated in community management of forests, use of non-timber forest products,
communal grazing lands and subsistence fisheries (Oxfam et al., 2016; FAO, 2012; Ring et al.,
2018; Acosta et al., 2018; Stringer et al., 2018). Granting land and sea rights to IPLCs is also a
critical means for connecting IPLCs with environmental protection policies, including economic
instruments such as carbon offsets, REDD+, PES and micro-credits (Gray et al., 2008; de
Koning et al., 2011; van Dam, 2011; McElwee, 2012; Larson et al., 2013; Duchelle et al., 2014;
Sunderlin et al., 2014). As for customary rights, examples confirm that if competing interests
between state and customary systems are adequately balanced, policy measures incorporating
customary rights are likely to protect traditional values and ILK, respect local power structures
and institutions of IPLC, and contribute to biodiversity conservation (Acosta et al., 2018;
Willemen et al., 2018). Animal rights are an example of non-anthropocentric development that
recognizes intrinsic values of animals and the (ecological) interdependence of humans and
animals (Birnie et al., 2009; Kymlicka & Donaldson, 2011). Rights of Nature refers to the
entitlement of nature with rights as a collective subject of interest, acknowledging its intrinsic
values (Rühs & Jones, 2016; Gordon, 2017; Kotzé & Calzadilla, 2017; Rogers & Maloney,
2017). Policy options for the recognition of such rights often imply the articulation of a comanagement regime (e.g., Whanganui River, New Zealand; Strack, 2017), and have been
codified in national constitutions (e.g., Ecuador; Kauffman & Martin, 2017), national legislation
(e.g., Bolivian Law of Mother Earth; Pacheco, 2014) and in local policies (e.g., United States;
Sheehan, 2015). Also see Supplementary Materials section 6.1.2.
6.2.4.3 Gender
Gender literacy, women’s empowerment, financial support, gender responsive approaches and
integrating gender into nature conservation solutions are crucial to reinforce links between
gender and biodiversity, achieve biodiversity objectives, and SDG 5 (gender equality) (CBD
SBI/2/2 Add.3 (2018); IUCN, 2017). Lack of gender sensitive funding mechanisms and
29
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
structural inequality hinder gender mainstreaming at the national and local level (Sweetman,
2015; UNEP, 2016). While gender rights acknowledge the interdependence between gender,
biodiversity conservation and sustainable use of resources (CBD Gender Plan of Action, 2008;
Aichi Target 14, 17 and 20), poverty, religious and cultural practices (e.g., when gender
disparities are entrenched in cultural and religious beliefs), and unequal social, economic and
institutional structures are some of the key obstacles women encounter (CBD/IUCN, 2008; FAO,
2013; UNEP, 2016). The fundamental role women play in, among others, agriculture, forestry,
fisheries, tourism, water management, wildlife management, and nature conservation and
management underpin the need for effective participation in decision making (Jenkins, 2017;
Howard, 2015). To mainstream gender considerations, governments can take actions in policy
(e.g., mainstream gender into NBSAPs), organizational (e.g., giving women collective and
individual voice, gender equality training and awareness-raising among decision makers, and
gender responsive budgets), delivery (e.g., participatory mechanisms, capacity development and
empowerment to enable effective participation), and constituency (e.g., ensure consistency with
relevant conventions) spheres (CBD Decision XII/7 (2014).
6.2.4.4 IPLC and ILK
Inclusive governance requires robust participatory mechanisms supporting the inclusion of IPLC
in policies and planning decision affecting them and the environment at large (Bray et al., 2008,
2012; Ojha et al., 2009; Kerekes & Williamson, 2010; Kothari et al., 2012, 2013; Mooney &
Tan, 2012; Buntaine et al., 2015). As discussed in chapter 2, IPLCs hold territorial rights and/or
manage a substantial proportion of the world’s conserved nature, freshwater systems, and coastal
zones, providing contributions to society at large (Maffi, 2005; Gorenflo et al., 2012; Renwick et
al., 2017; Garnett et al., 2018). There is well-established evidence that IPLCs can develop
complex, sophisticated, innovative and robust institutional arrangements and management
systems for successfully governing the management of watersheds, coastal fisheries, forests and
grasslands and a variety of biodiversity-rich landscapes around the world (Ostrom, 1990; Berkes,
1999; Agrawal, 2001; Colding & Folke, 2001; Lu, 2001; Toledo, 2001; Gadgil et al., 2003;
Bodin & Crona, 2008; Pacheco, 2008; Waylen et al., 2010; Basurto et al., 2013; Stevens et al.,
2014; Fernández-Llamazares et al., 2016) to govern their land- and seascapes in ways that align
with biodiversity conservation (ICC, 2008, 2010; Stevens et al., 2014; Ens et al., 2015, 2016;
Trauernicht et al., 2015; Blackman et al., 2017; Schleicher et al., 2017; Vierros, 2017).
The inclusion of IPLCs in governance can be enhanced through processes of knowledge
coproduction at local, national and global scales (Brondizio & Le Tourneau, 2015; Sterling et al.,
2017; Wehi & Lord, 2017, Turnhout et al., 2012; Tengö et al., 2014, 2017; FPP & CBD, 2016;
see also 6.2.2 and Chapter 1). Such enhanced participation has been shown to improve dialogue
and advance the legitimacy of decisions and the recognition of the value and rights of IPLCs
(Schroeder, 2010; Redpath et al., 2013; Brugnach et al., 2014; Wallbott, 2014, Brodt, 1999;
Young & Lipton, 2006; Berkes, 2009; Davies et al., 2013; Robinson et al., 2014; Stevens et al.,
2014; Gavin et al., 2015; Alexander et al., 2016; Berdej & Armitage, 2016, Ostrom, 1990;
Gibson et al., 2005; Hayes, 2006, 2010; Chhatre & Agrawal, 2008, 2009; Waylen et al., 2010;
Porter-Bolland et al., 2012; Reyes-García et al., 2012; Gavin et al., 2015; Martin et al., 2016).
However, long-term capacity development, empowerment and continued funding support are
30
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
critical conditions to ensure IPLCs involvement in biodiversity conservation, including
specifically women, youth and non-Indigenous communities (Brooks et al., 2009; Ricketts et al.,
2010; Eallin, 2015; Escott et al., 2015; Reid et al., 2016; Reo et al., 2017).
There are many tools available to set up such inclusive and participatory mechanisms (Green et
al., 2015; Pert et al., 2015; Brondizio & Le Tourneau, 2016; Schreckenberg et al., 2016;
Fernández-Llamazares & Cabeza, 2017; Zafra-Calvo et al., 2017), including IPLC-led codes of
ethical conduct in conservation (e.g., Akwe: Kon Guidelines and The Tkarihwaié:ri Code of
Ethical Conduct; CBD, 2004, 2011), the Free, Prior and Informed Consent principle (Cariño,
2005; Doyle, 2015; Herrmann & Martin, 2016; MacInnes et al., 2017; UNDRIP, 2007), and tools
for dialogue such as the Whakatane Mechanism (Freudenthal et al., 2012; Sayer et al., 2017), as
well as legal approaches that draw inspiration from ILK and customary institutions (Archer,
2013; Hutchinson, 2014; Akchurin, 2015; Humphreys, 2015; Strack, 2017; also see rights-based
approaches above). In this vein, the laws promoting the Rights of Nature (e.g., Bolivia, Ecuador,
India, New Zealand) have been, in most cases, heavily influenced by IPLC philosophies placing
nature at the center of all life (Akchurin, 2015; Díaz et al., 2015; Borràs, 2016; Archer, 2013;
Hutchinson, 2014; Strack, 2017; Kothari & Bajpai, 2017). Moreover, securing connection to
place and granting land- and sea tenure rights to IPLCs are also a critical means to ensure IPLC
participation in environmental governance and key enabling factors to IPLC well-being (Gray et
al., 2008; de Koning et al., 2011; van Dam, 2011; McElwee, 2012; Larson et al., 2013; Sunderlin
et al., 2014; Sterling et al., 2017). Finally, global policy arenas such as IPBES and the CBD can
facilitate knowledge co-production for enhanced environmental governance (Turnhout et al.,
2012; Tengö et al., 2014, 2017; FPP & CBD, 2016). Figure 6.1 outlines several public policies
that can facilitate IPLC inclusion in transformative governance. Also see Supplementary
Materials section 6.1.3 for background material on IPLC and ILK, and Box 6.3 for an example of
inclusive governance.
Box 6.3: Example of inclusive Governance - The Arctic Council
The interconnected and complex challenges faced by the Arctic have been argued to be better
addressed through transformative governance, including stronger transboundary cooperation
and globally-coordinated policy responses (Aksenov et al., 2014; Chapin et al., 2015;
Sommerkorn & Nilsson, 2015; Nilsson & Koivurova, 2016; Armitage et al., 2017; Edwards
& Evans, 2017; van Pelt et al., 2017; Burgass et al., 2018). As one of the fastest changing
regions on Earth (ACIA, 2004; Wassmann et al., 2011; Cowtan & Way, 2014), the Arctic is
facing vast social-ecological challenges that have required all levels of governance –
particularly the Arctic Council– to constantly adjust their modes of operation, ensuring a
governance system that is transformative, flexible across issues and sectors, and adaptable
over time (Axworthy et al., 2012; Young, 2012; Chapin et al., 2015; Ford et al., 2015). The
Arctic Council (AC), established in 1996, is an intergovernmental forum promoting
cooperation, coordination and interaction among the Arctic States, Arctic Indigenous
communities and other Arctic inhabitants on common Arctic issues, with an overall focus on
encouraging transformative change towards sustainability (Young, 2012; Bloom, 1999;
Axworthy et al., 2012; Nilsson & Meek, 2016). Inclusiveness is an important principle for the
AC and is best reflected by the unique formal status accorded to Arctic Indigenous Peoples as
Permanent Participants, sitting at the table alongside State representatives (Bloom, 1999;
31
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
Young, 2005). The AC has advanced the inclusion of Indigenous knowledge and expertise in
AC assessment reports by placing Indigenous representatives in the steering committees of
the different constituencies, task forces and working groups of AC (Kankaanpää & Young
,2012) and has catalysed Indigenous Peoples’ participation in international policymaking
more generally (Koivurova & Heinamäki, 2006). The AC has however also been criticized
for continuing to rely on fixed governance fundaments (e.g., soft law nature, ad-hoc
funding; Koivurova, 2009) and for failing to offer the kinds of firm institutional, financial and
regulatory frameworks that are considered necessary (Berkman & Young, 2006; Greenpeace,
2014; Hussey et al., 2016; Edwards & Evans, 2017; Harris et al., 2018). (See for more details
Supplementary Materials section 6.1.4).

6.3 Transformative change in and across issues, goals and sectors
6.3.1 Introduction
As discussed in the above, the SDG are integrated and indivisible. Therefore, action on one SDG
may (positively or negatively) affect progress on other SDG, and the implementation of different
targets under a SDG are mutually dependent. Moreover, biodiversity is at the core of many of
these complex interdependencies. To the global North and South, the comprehensive
implementation of the goals offers major and different challenges to achieve sustainability in the
environmental, social, and economic spheres.
Furthermore, as previous chapters have discussed, climate change is exacerbating and
reinforcing other drivers of biodiversity loss and environmental degradation, such as habitat loss
and degradation, agricultural expansion, unsustainable utilization, invasive alien species and
pollution (particularly in marine and freshwater ecosystems; see Chapter 2.1). Various
manifestations of climate change such as drought, extreme weather fluctuations, flooding,
extreme heat and cold, storms, conditions for accidental fire, ocean water warming and
acidification, and rising sea levels, are hindering our ability to meet the Aichi Biodiversity
Targets and the SDG.
In this context, the aim of this section is to review both short-term (today-2030) and long-term
(today-2050) options available to different decision makers (Table 6.2) to achieve the SDG on
major biodiversity-related issues and policy domains, including terrestrial landscapes (6.3.2);
marine, coastal and fisheries (6.3.3); freshwater (6.3.4); cities (6.3.5); and energy, mining and
infrastructure (6.3.6). The overview table in each section summarizes the options that policy
makers can include in policy mixes to together address the indirect drivers. The tables include
the short- and long-term options, the main problems expected in their implementation, the main
decision maker(s) involved, the main levels of governance involved (from the global to the
local), and the main targeted indirect driver(s). Some of the common threads emerging from the
synthesis below are the following:
First, integrated approaches within a SDG (various targets within one SDG) or among SDG
(e.g., the water-food-energy-infrastructure nexus) offer opportunities to foster policy coherence,
minimise unforeseen externalities and reduce potential conflict or tensions between different
objectives or policies. Current approaches include integrated water resources management,
integrated spatial planning, integrated landscape approaches, integrated coastal management, and
bioregional scales for energy. In addition, policy mixes play a crucial role to address externalities
and incorporate diverse values.
Second, data gathering, monitoring and reporting enable decision makers to understand the
function and inter-related dynamics of nature, its contributions, and quality of life. Different
types of assessment and analytical tools (e.g., cost benefit analysis, life cycle analysis,
environmental impact assessment, strategic impact assessment, and participatory assessment)
33
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
synthesize different types of knowledge, including indigenous and local knowledge. In addition,
telecoupled information flows have the potential to contribute to monitoring, surveillance and
control. Examples of these options are zero-deforestation pledges, certification schemes for key
commodities or biofuel, and the use of satellite surveillance of at-sea fishing operations.
Third, collaborative efforts such as partnerships and other multi-stakeholder approaches among
state, market and civil society actors can contribute towards achieving sustainability on all major
issues discussed here. In addition, the development of robust, evidence-based, participatory and
inclusive decision-making processes optimizes the participation of IPLCs and marginalized
social groups (e.g., urban slum dwellers) in environmental governance. Enhanced participation
and leadership of IPLCs in environmental processes can advance the recognition of the social,
spiritual and customary values of IPLC in environmental management decisions and influence
the outcome, thereby enhancing their legitimacy.
Fourth, it is acknowledged that the effectiveness of policy instruments is context specific, and
the implementation of different policy options needs to be adaptive. Moreover, the effectiveness
of various policy instruments is not yet well understood and further research on the effectiveness
of different policy options, separately and in combination, is necessary to achieve transformative
change.

6.3.2 Integrated Approaches for Sustainable Landscapes
Landscapes are the geographical space where socio-ecological systems are shaped and develop.
They are the most important source of food, water, materials and bio-energy, and provide space
and quality for human habitation. Hence, landscapes are also the space where multiple land uses
and values converge. Historically, landscapes have been governed by policies and decisions from
different sectors and governance levels, i.e. agriculture, rural development, water, forestry,
infrastructure, energy and urban planning, acting often independently without taking due
consideration of the interdependencies and trade-offs among different societal objectives that
often arise in landscapes.
This disarticulation of multiple objectives has been the cause of the large environmental, health
and biodiversity loss challenges today, including the conversion and fragmentation of species
habitats, one of, and in some regions the main driver of global biodiversity loss (Barnosky et al.,
2011; Ceballos et al., 2015; Pimm et al., 2014, Chapter 3 section 3.2.1), the levels of
mechanization and resource inputs leading to landscape and biological homogenization
(Newbold et al., 2015; Pepper et al., 2017), the lack of adequate attention for the protection of
genetic resources of crops, trees, their wild relatives, and livestock (Collette et al., 2015), the
skewed representation of biodiversity in protected areas (Butchard et al., 2012, 2015), and the
loss of the capacity of soils, cropland and forested areas to maintain ecosystem services
(Vitousek et al., 1997; Schiefer et al., 2016, Fornara et al., 2008), including natural pest control
and pollination. These challenges are associated with depletion, eutrophication and pollution of
water, health problems related to undernourishment and simplified diets (United Nations, 2015),
increased costs and risks in food and forestry production due to the introduction of invasive alien
species (IAS), and the contribution of landscapes to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (FAO &
ITPS, 2015, Supplementary Materials 6.2.1).
One unresolved question is how to shape landscapes that fulfil current and future needs of food
and materials production, without the negative impacts on nature and society listed above.
“Land-sparing” and “land-sharing” represent two extreme models about how landscapes can be
shaped and refer to the degree of compatibility between different land-use intensities, the
conservation of biodiversity and generation of ecosystem services within a landscape (Balmford
et al., 2005; Fischer et al., 2008; Phalan et al., 2011, 2016, see also Supplementary Materials
6.2.1). This simplified dichotomy (“land sparing” vs. “land sharing”) limits future possibilities
(Chapter 5 section 5.3.2.1). There is increasing consensus in that visions of sustainable land-use
systems will lie in between these contrasting models, by considering the specific social,
economic, ecological and technological context (Fischer et al., 2008; Tscharntke et al., 2012;
Chapter 5 section 5.3.2.1). A landscape-focused participatory approach to policy design and
implementation is an option to better address dilemmas about land-use allocation and intensity of
use.
This section analyses the evidence on the effectiveness of policy options that could be used by
different decision makers to promote the transition to sustainable landscapes. To contribute to
35
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
transformative change, options for sustainable agriculture and forest management and
conservation would need to be approached with policy mixes (as discussed in 6.2.1 above on
integrative govenance): “…a combination of policy instruments that (evolves to) influence the
quantity and quality of biodiversity conservation and ecosystem service provision in public and
private sectors” (Ring & Schröter-Schlaack, 2011). These mixes can include policy instruments
beyond the landscape, for instance to regulate the distance drivers of change (i.e., telecouplings)
(see section Regulating commodity chains, below), including the effect of distant consumption
patterns (see section on Encouraging dietary transitions and alternate consumption, below).
A policy mix approach is motivated because even in simple settings, no single policy instrument
is superior across all evaluation criteria (including effectiveness, cost-minimization, equity)
(Vatn, 2010), and cannot possibly address all policy goals and targets. In contrast, wellintegrated and implemented policy mixes can help counteract these and other deficiencies, such
as economic externalities occurring with market power, unobservable behaviour and imperfect
information; and address multiple jurisdictions and policy linkages across jurisdictions (Barton et
al., 2013). Successful policy mixes acknowledge the socio-ecological context (Andersson et al.,
2015), address conservation and sustainable use challenges, and recognize their cross-sectoral
and multi-scale nature (Verburg et al., 2013). If well planned, policy mixes can also address
different objectives across the landscape, such as through a ‘policy scape’ perspective. A ‘policy
scape’, understood as the spatial configuration of a policy mix (Barton et al., 2013; Ezzine-de
Blas et al., 2016), recognizes the spatial variation of ecological and biodiversity features,
suitability for sustainable food and materials production, and trade-offs between sustainable
production and conservation (Schröder et al., 2014; 2017).
Transformative landscape governance networks can further develop policy mixes that integrate
across sectors, land uses, actors and levels of governance (Carrasco et al., 2014), addressing
important trade-offs among NCP in a transparent and equitable way. Options in the short and
longer-term incorporate decision makers and stakeholders from within and outside the landscape
while addressing power dynamics (Ishihara et al., 2017; Berbés-Blázquez et al., 2016). These
networks are thus multi-actor (including different types of actors), multi-level (including
multiple levels of governance, from the global to the local) (Verburg et al., 2013), and multisector (including representatives from different sectors, including the entire value chain, from
producer to end user) (Lim et al., 2017). Decision makers and stakeholders in these networks
need to recognize different values and be cognizant of power dynamics in the networks in order
to enable transformative change. Any type of decision maker could initiate such networks.
The options discussed in the remainder of this section, and summarized in Table 6.3, can be
potential elements of these policy mixes for integrated landscape approaches. They mainly
include existing instruments aimed to support sustainable agriculture, sustainable forest
management and biodiversity conservation, and thus represent options that can be implemented
in the short term. Water governance, although an intregral part of landscapes, is discussed in
section 6.3.4. However, it is only when these options are strategically combined in integrated
landscape approaches that transformative change towards sustainability can take place. Such
36
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
approaches can be started in the short term but need to be continuously enhanced through
transformative governance in the longer term.

6.3.2.1 Feeding the world without consuming the planet
Expanding and enhancing sustainable intensification in agriculture
To address land degradation (IPBES, 2018b) and other environmental impacts of agriculture, two
forms of ecological modernisation are currently considered: (i) sustainable intensification
(Sustainable intensification or efficiency-substitution agriculture (Duru et al., 2015, Schiefer et
al., 2016), which aims to improve input use efficiency and minimise environmental impacts. This
is currently the dominant modernisation alternative (see Supplementary Materials 6.2.2; Chapter
2.3 about trends in production for marketed commodities). (ii) biodiversity-based agriculture,
aims to develop agriculture enhancing ecosystem services generated by agro-diversity (Duru et
al., 2015) (see section on “Encouraging sustainable use of multifunctional landscapes”, below).
Efficiency-based agriculture consists of adjusting practices in specialised systems to comply with
environmental regulations and follows the logic of economy of scale and expression of
comparative advantages (e.g., for soil fertility, climate, knowledge, labour costs, infrastructure,
and regulations) (Duru et al., 2015), aiming at closing yield gaps (Mueller et al., 2012, Chapter 5
41
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
section 5.3.2.1). Implementation is based on good agricultural practices (e.g. FAO), and
international voluntary standards, including those on animal health and welfare of the World
Organization for Animal Health (OIE), and uses also new technologies such as precision
agriculture (Supplementary Materials 6.2.2).
The adoption of these practices can be supported by investment in technological development
and outreach, regulations, and public and private quality standards such as voluntary certification
schemes and roundtables (see sections on Improving certification schemes and Regulating
commodity chains, below). One recent example of the mixes of measures that can promote this
kind of agricultural modernization is the program to encourage the sustainable increase of crop
yields in smallholder farms in China. In 2003–11, the country increased its cereal production by
about 32% (more than double the world average), largely by improving the performance of the
least-efficient farms, through a comprehensive package of measures that included public
investment, development and testing of technologies adapted to specific agro-ecological zones
that improved yields, conserved soils and reduced fertilizer application, and outreach and farmer
engagement (Zhang et al., 2013). Development of new crop varieties remains one of several
areas of fundamental research that feed into this approach to increase yields and reduce the use
of insecticides (Zhang et al., 2013).
Efficiency agriculture is applied to both crops and livestock production. Industrial production
systems produce over two-thirds of global production of poultry meat, almost two-thirds of egg
production and more than half of world output of pork, with beef and milk production remaining
less intensified (FAO, 2009). The environmental impacts, including water, soil and air pollution,
of intensive livestock production are significant, and these systems often harbor poor animal
welfare conditions (HLPE, 2016). Challenges of efficiency agriculture, including the industrial
production of livestock, generally rely on high levels of anthropogenic inputs and include the
extensive use of non-renewable resources such as mineral fertilizers and energy, the risk of pest
resistance to agro-chemicals (Duru & Therond, 2014), human health problems associated with
the use of pesticides and veterinary drugs, the homogenization of crops, and the biological
deterioration of the land. This kind of intensification may trigger land conversion as has been the
case of soybean expansion in South America (Fearnside, 2001; Pacheco, 2012). Shortcomings
can also involve leakage effects and failure to address the conservation of semi-natural and open
habitats (Supplementary Materials 6.2.2), issues due to the shift of agricultural production from
small and medium household farms to international agroindustry pools (Strada and Vila 2015),
and exposure to market volatility.
Encouraging ecological intensification and sustainable use of multi-functional landscapes
Land-use systems consisting of mosaics of cropland, grasslands and pastures, and forests, are
widely spread globally and are critical for food security and sovereignty (Supplementary
Materials 6.2.2). Encouraging use of multi-functional landscapes can be the basis for a shift
towards ecological intensification or biodiversity-based agriculture including diversification of
food sources, ecological rotation and agroforestry, promotion of agroecology with a view to
promoting sustainable production and improving nutrition (McConnell, 2003). At the same time,
42
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
these landscapes are the space where the largest conflicts with nature conservation can take place
(Ravenelle & Nyhus, 2017), especially in the case of wildlife – human interactions.
Multi-functional landscapes also support NCP critical to IPLC diets and food systems. These are
also gaining attention in the context of global discourses around food sovereignty (Patel, 2009)
and cultural identity (Charlton, 2016; Coté, 2016; Kuhnlein et al., 2009; Nolan & Pieroni, 2014).
Many IPLC,s and a wide range of rural and peri-urban populations, remain highly dependent on
hunting, fishing and gathering for their diets, which play a critical role in supporting IPLC health
and well-being (Kuhnlein, 2014; Kuhnlein & Receveur, 2007; ICC, 2015; Nesbitt & Moore,
2016). As such, drivers of landscape homogeneization and biodiversity loss have been largely
associated with rapid nutritional shifts among IPLC, through the reduction in consumption of
locally-sourced foods as well as the incorporation of industrially processed products, often
leading to increasing rates of overweight, obesity and chronic disease (Popkin, 2004; ICC, 2015;
Galvin et al., 2015; Iannotti and Lesorogol, 2014; Reyes-García et al., 2018). Measures to
promote multi-functional landscapes are easier to govern when they are broadly defined and
linked to values or objectives in the sector or local practices (Runhaar et al., 2017). Communitydriven and culturally-appropriate responses to address these changes posit a reconnection of
land-based food systems and have recurrently called for supporting the recognition of IPLC food
sovereignty (Wittman et al., 2010; Morrison, 2011; Rudolph & McLachlan, 2013; Martens et al.,
2016). Also, targeting specific measures by identifying agro-ecological constraints and
characteristics of farming systems such as population pressure, urbanization, governance, income
and undernourishment, can further help select suitable measures to promote ecological
intensification in agriculture (Sietz et al., 2017) and the management of NCP based on
biodiversity.
Policy options that have been implemented to promote ecological intensification of farming
systems include, although not exclusively, direct payments such as agri-environmental schemes
(AES) to conserve and better provision ecosystem services (Supplementary Materials 6.2.2) and
to maintain and restore habitats (Montagnini et al., 2004), payments for ecosystem services
(PES) to protect water sources (Frickmann Young et al., 2014), with biodiversity conservation as
a co-benefit (see section on Improving REDD+ and PES), below), and standards and
certification schemes (see section on Improving Certification Schemes and Organic Agriculture,
below). A form of biodiversity-based agriculture is permanent (agri)culture, based on broad
principles defined as mimicking ecological patterns, locally designed and recuperation of
traditional ecological practices (Roux-Rosier et al., 2018).
Technical assistance and investment (including micro-credits) have been used to promote land
uses such as agro-forestry systems that enhance on-farm provisioning (e.g. timber and nontimber products in addition to crops and pastures (Montagnini, 2017, Part III) and regulating
services such as carbon sequestration. Direct payments (e.g., PES) can be combined with
technical assistance since they are effective in overcoming initial economic and technical
obstacles to the adoption of agro-forestry practices (Cole, 2010), but the practices need short to
medium-term technical support to ensure their long-term retention. These measures have been
43
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
combined with REDD+ (see section on REDD+, below) to promote carbon sequestration and
halt forest clearing.
Participatory approaches and compensation schemes have helped resolve conflicts between food
and material production and nature conservation, including wildlife conservation in these mixeduse systems (see section on Improving Sustainable Wildlife Management, below) where multiple
objectives converge. Finally, the farmers’ level of adoption of practices in voluntary schemes
(AES, PES, REDD+, technology adoption and certification schemes) is, in many instances, low
and largely determines the effectiveness of the measures (Giomi et al., 2018; Runhaar et al.,
2017). Two obstacles related to direct payments, a widely used policy instrument, include its
voluntary character and that subsidies often do not cover all costs (Runhaar et al., 2017). Farmers
who do not voluntarily engage in nature conservation could be incentivized by showcasing
farmers who have made advances, critical consumers, and stricter rules in direct payment
schemes or in generic agri-environmental legislation (Giomi et al., 2018). Farmers need to be
motivated, able, or enabled (e.g. through investment in technological development and outreach),
demanded (through regulations and quality standards as the IFOAM-Organic standard and
roundtables (see Improving Certification Schemes and Organic Agriculture, below), and
legitimized to participate and act (Runhaar et al., 2017). There are also other private forms of
governance including the cooperation of farmers with conservation NGOs, or compliance to
conservation standards requested by companies in agricultural supply chains as part of their
Corporate Social Responsibility programmes (Runhaar et al., 2017).
Improving certification schemes and organic agriculture
Over the last decades, voluntary sustainability standards (VSS) and certification schemes (VCS)
have become a key governance mechanism affecting land-use decisions and land-use shifts
(Sikor et al., 2013) aiming to mitigate the negative impacts of agricultural expansion and
intensification, including deforestation (Milder et al., 2014; Tscharntke et al., 2015), by
promoting environmental and biodiversity-friendly practices at the farm level. Studies reveal
increases in the abundance or species richness of a wide range of taxa, including birds and
mammals, invertebrates and arable-land flora in certified farms (Hole et al., 2005; Bengtsson et
al., 2005; Tuomisto et al., 2012; Tayleur et al., 2018), and ecosystem services (Supplementary
Materials 6.2.2, Kremen et al., 2002; Bengtsson et al., 2005; Hutton & Giller, 2003), mainly due
to lower agrochemical inputs (Aude et al., 2003; Hutton & Giller, 2003; Pimentel et al., 2005;
Birkhofer et al., 2008)
However, most certification schemes are too recent to evaluate detectable impacts (Tayleur et al.,
2018) and results on environmental and biodiversity performance are in many cases limited
(Gulbrandsen, 2010; Gulbrandsen, 2009) or variable (Bengtsson et al., 2005). In some cases,
certification schemes have spurred more intensive and degrading land-use practice (Guthman,
2004; Klooster, 2010) and caused higher deforestation in neighbouring old-growth forest areas
(Tayleur et al., 2016).
44
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
A few studies have also documented positive livelihood outcomes from certification (Bacon,
2005; Bolwig et al., 2009; Gulbrandsen, 2005; Ruben and Fort, 2012) and improved
management institutions, but impacts on poverty alleviation are mixed (Yu Ting et al., 2016).
Many schemes have exacerbated problematic political and economic inequalities (Gómez Tovar
et al., 2005; Ponte, 2008) or failed to enhance market access or benefits (Font et al., 2007),
especially for smallholder farmers (DeFries et al., 2017; Tayleur et al., 2018). There are also
issues of high transaction costs, transparency, legitimacy and equity in certification schemes
(Supplementary Materials 6.2.2; Eden, 2009; Klooster, 2010; Havice & Iles, 2015; Hatanaka et
al., 2005).
Certification of tropical agricultural commodities shows clear aggregations in Central America,
Brazil, West Africa and parts of East Africa and Southeast Asia and has poor representation in
the world’s 31 poorest countries (Tayleur et al., 2018), and schemes remain limited in
geographic scope (Ebeling & Yasué, 2009; Rametsteiner & Simula, 2003, Tayleur et al., 2016).
Certification could better contribute to sustainability goals if targeted where benefits can be
optimized (Tayleur et al., 2016), i.e. areas of high nature conservation value (including landscape
level quality) (Hole et al., 2005), in areas of social and economic development priority, and
where enabling conditions exist (e.g. governmental complementary policies) (Tayleur et al.,
2016). Governments can facilitate the impact of certification schemes by promoting certification
uptake and supporting strategic targeting. Governments involved in international aid could
engage in coordinating efforts to finance certification in identified priority areas for social and
economic development (Tayleur et al., 2016).
Public campaigns on the environmental, health, conservation, and social benefits of certified
products are likely to increase consumer demand for these products, and measures aiming to
enhance social responsibility in multi-national corporations can be effective (Tayleur et al.,
2018). Engaging in more equitable food value chains (see sections on Improving food
distribution and localizing food systems, Expanding food market transparency and price stability
and Regulating commodity chains) have the potential to expand the geographical range and
enhance social outcomes. Critical to promoting VCS that balance conservation and economic
demands is: 1) managing stakeholder expectations; 2) targeting priority habitats, species and
social groups and 3) implementing adequate post-certification monitoring of impacts (Yu Ting et
al., 2016; Tayleur et al., 2018). New technology (e.g., environmental data management and
sharing infrastructure, modelling, web-based communication) and data availability could help
improve monitoring and assessment of certification impacts, including bio-physical (e.g.,
nutrient leakage, water use efficiency, biodiversity), social and economic criteria.
Regulating commodity chains
Two major efforts to regulate commodity chains, particularly for tropical agricultural products,
and to deal with telecoupling issues and the unsustainable expansion of these commodities
include multistakeholder fora and commodity moratorium policies. Examples of
45
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
multistakeholder fora are the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), the Roundtable on
Responsible Soy (RTRS) Better Sugar Cane Initiative, and the Roundtable on Sustainable
Biomaterial, which aim to engage all private stakeholders of an agricultural supply chain,
including growers; processors; consumer goods manufacturers; environmental NGOs; social
NGOs; banks and investors; and retailers to establish a “sustainability” standard, and unlike
labels that focus on a specific market, these standards envision to transform the entire sector
towards sustainability. However, the RSPO standard overlooks the root causes of palmoil
expansion in the tropics, such as land rights, commodity prices, agricultural systems and market
access, resulting in a rather small and local level impact of certification on biodiversity
conservation (Ruysschaert & Salles, 2014; Ruysschaert, 2016). At the global level, the RSPO is
promoting a segregated landscape with large-scale plantations and conservation areas. This could
make sense, as large oil palm plantations are very productive. However, this fails to recognize
that the main environmental and social gains can be made by supporting smallholders, who
currently produce half as much as the large-scale plantations (Ruysschaert, 2016; GRAIN, 2016).
Although the RSPO standards may be based on principles of inclusive participation from each
member category; consensus building; and transparency in the negotiation process (RSPO, 2013,
Schouten & Glasbergen, 2011), in practice, its implementation is more complex, with RSPO
certification favouring three dominant groups of stakeholders: the downstream agro-business
firms, international environmental NGOs, and the largest palm oil producers (Ruysschaert,
2016). For the downstream firms, RSPO certification fulfils their initial goal to secure their
business in the long-term and protect their reputation (RSPO, 2002), but it often fails to cover
costs of producers, particularly, the forgone economic opportunity to convert the areas identified
as high conservation value (HCV) (Ruysschaert & Salles, 2014). RSPO has tended to favour
large-scale producers seeking to get access to international markets; smaller firms and
smallholders are largely excluded either because they sell to domestic markets where
certification is not valued by consumers, or because they find certification too costly and its
managerial requirements too demanding (Ruysschaert & Salles, 2014; Ruysschaert, 2016; and
Supplementary Materials 6.2.2)
The case of moratoria such as the Brazilian Soy Moratorium (Supplementary Materials 6.2.2)
appears to have been more successful in delivering biodiversity conservation outcomes (i.e.
halting deforestation, Rudorff et al., 2011; Gibbs et al., 2015) and has set the stage for other
initiatives to improve the sustainability of soy production and raise the awareness of the markets,
like the RTRS and the Soja Plus Program. These initiatives are additional to zero-deforestation
agreements and include other issues related to environmental compliance, social justice and
economic viability at the farm and the supply chain level. Although there are leakage risks due to
Moratorium restrictions (Arima et al., 2011), recent analysis is showing no evidence for this (Le
Polain de Waroux et al., 2017). In contrast, there are opportunities for soy production in
degraded pasture areas without increasing deforestation; combined with the identification of
suitable areas, pasture intensification techniques and controlling new deforestation, the soy
supply chain in the Amazon may become a good example of reconciliation of forest conservation
and agricultural production. However, despite the good results, there are still threats to the
46
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
Moratorium. Policy mixes supporting this package of measures can be enhanced if they address
failures related to market shares, like the lack of engagement of traders and importers and the
competition with farmers not covered by the Moratorium, which may further demise the
motivation of the private sector in keeping the agreement.
Conserving genetic resources for agriculture
The diversity of cultivated plants, domestic animals and their wild relatives is fundamental for
food security globally (Asia, Africa, Central and South America) (McConnell, 2003; Dawson et
al., 2013), and essential to the adaptation of agriculture to new and uncertain patterns of climate
change. Most of the global genetic diversity in agriculture is kept in low-input farming systems
(McConnell, 2003), and it is central to food sovereignty and to food as a non-material
contribution to GQL (Chapter 1), also in IPLC communities, where it can also involve cultural
keystone species which support community identity and traditional roles (e.g. taro in the Pacific,
corn in Central and South America, buffalo in North America). Globally, policy options to
protect genetic resources for agriculture and forestry include support to on-farm conservation (in
situ) (Enjalbert et al., 2011; Thomas et al., 2012, 2015) integrated with the conservation of
germplasm in gene banks (ex situ). In situ conservation requires that the farmers, livestock
keepers and foresters who conserve and manage these varieties, breeds and species benefit from
maintaining this global common resource (CBD, 2014 Nagoya Protocol; Collette et al., 2015).
The genetic diversity in agriculture underlie current debates on food and seed sovereignty, and
the implications of intellectual property rights to conservation of biodiversity and plant
germplasm (Coomes et al., 2015, see also Chapter 2.1 section 2.1.9.1.1). The debates have
involved researchers, policy makers, seed producers for the market and IPLCs, bringing tension
over seed legislation, regulation and commercialization (FAO, 2004; CBD The Nagoya Protocol,
2014; European Seed Association, 2014).
The case of social networks (e.g. farmer seed networks and community seed banks (Coomes et
al., 2015; Pautasso et al., 2013; Lewis & Mulvany, 1997), illustrate the potential and challenges
of the conservation and sustainable use of local genetic resources of global significance. Seed
networks are cornerstones in maintaining the diversity of crops and their wild relatives (Tapia,
2000); they account for 80-90% of the global seed transfers and supply (Coomes et al., 2015) and
are important channels of innovation and diversity (Coomes et al., 2015), and therefore show
considerable potential for innovation and transformation of agricultural systems aligned with the
SDG, especially if entry points for improvement are identified (Buddenhagen et al., 2017). Seed
networks are found in all regions of the world: Central and South America, Africa, Asia; in the
Australia, Canada, the UK and the USA, and particular types of community seed banks have
emerged (Vernooy et al., 2015; Dawson et al., 2011; Urzedo, 2016).
Options examined in the literature include aspects of seed quality and distribution, social and
economic dimensions and global governance issues. Developing quality standards for traits,
seeds and other material, and quality control schemes would considerably enhance the potential
for integration into global processes of sharing and exchange of genetic resources (Coomes et al.,
47
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
2015; Jarvis et al., 2011), but the mechanisms of seed sharing require attention, so that barriers
that discriminate disfavoured social groups can be addressed and eliminated (Tadesse et al.,
2016). Vernooy et al. (2017) summarize a series of measures to maintain in situ genetic
diversity, which include support to local institutions, actively protect plants and livestock breeds
that can survive extreme conditions, facilitate the restoration of varieties no longer used, develop
platforms to facilitate access and availability of seeds at the community level, and help access
novel diversity not conserved locally. Since in many cases, farmers have few market or nonmarket incentives, different public measures will be necessary to protect genetic resources
(Jarvis et al., 2011).
Given that these resources are of global importance (see also Chapter 2.2 section 2.2.3.4.3 on
agro-biodiversity hotspots and Chapter 3 on Aichi Target 13) the national and global
mechanisms need to be developed and harmonized. Global mechanisms are governed by three
agreements originating from different sectors: The Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and
the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilization under the CBD (CBD,
2014; Nagoya Protocol), the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and
Agriculture (ITPGRFA) (FAO, 2004), and the International Convention for the Protection of
New Varieties of Plants (UPOV http://www.upov.int/portal/index.html.en). Despite efforts to
harmonize implementation, there are considerable gaps in the coordination of the agreements.
Managing large-scale land acquisitions (LSLA)
Concerns about LSLA (also sometimes called “land grabbing”) have increased considerably over
the past decade (Borras et al., 2011; Balehegn et al., 2015) and include issues of food security,
equity, leakage and environmental effects (Grant & Das, 2015; Coscieme et al.,, 2016; Borras et
al., 2011; Adnan, 2013). While some see land acquisitions as investments that can contribute to
more efficient food production at larger scales (World Bank, 2010; Deininger & Byerlee, 2012),
there are strong concerns that food security (especially at local levels) may be threatened by
these large agribusiness deals (Daniel, 2011; Lavers, 2012; Golay & Biglino, 2013, Ehara et al.,
2018; and Supplementary Materials 6.2.2).
Displacement of smallholders from LSLA can potentially lead to impoverishment and increased
(unsustainable) production elsewhere once they are removed from lands (Borras et al., 2011;
Adnan, 2013); these have happened with frequency in many countries in Africa, where
communal land tenure authorities have allowed expropriation of locally used lands without other
farmers’ knowledge or compensation (Osinubi et al., 2016). There is some evidence that LSLA
have already led to the impoverishment of some communities and as many as 12 million people
(Adnan, 2013; Davis et al., 2014). In at least some cases, the causal process is that land grabs
contribute to increased tenure insecurity in surrounding lands, leading farmers to shift to
cultivating smaller farms with less investments, potentially leading to food shortages (Aha et al.,
2017). There is some evidence that land grabbing is also weakening local systems of common
property management, which can make some communities less able to adapt to climate changes
in the future (Gabay & Alam, 2017; Dell'Angelo et al., 2017), including reducing the forest
resources they may depend on as safety nets (Kenney-Lazar, 2012).
48
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
The primary policy mechanisms for combatting large scale land acquisitions have included
restrictions on the size of land sales (Fairbairn, 2015); pressure on agribusiness companies to
agree to voluntary guidelines and principles for responsible investment (Collins, 2014; Goetz,
2013); attempts to repeal biofuels standards (Palmer, 2014); and direct protests against the land
acquisitions (Hall et al., 2015; Fameree, 2016). REDD+ has the potential to provide a
counterbalance with funding to combat land grabbing, but evidence is unclear if this is really
happening yet or if REDD+ will mostly protect areas not under threat from large-scale
investments (Ziegler et al., 2012; Phelps et al., 2013). Some have also accused REDD+ projects
of being akin to land grabs in that they may displace smallholder agriculture without proper
compensation (Lyons & Westoby, 2014; Corbera et al., 2017). Future policies to regulate LSLA
will need to rely on better monitoring data as a first step, as it is difficult to track the scale and
impact of such LSLA.
Encouraging dietary transitions
The characteristics of today’s global(ized) food system and the increasing industrialization of
agricultural production, food consumption, and in particular animal protein consumption, are
associated with a range of challenges, including food sovereignty, biodiversity loss, climate
change, pollution, and animal health and welfare (HLPE, 2016; Steinfeld et al., 2006; Garnett et
al., 2013; HLPE, 2016; Visseren-Hamakers, 2018; McMichael et al., 2007; Jones & Kammen,
2011; Tilman & Clark, 2014). These problems are especially urgent given the fact that the global
production of different animal products is expected to double by 2050 (Steinfeld et al., 2006).
The expansion of soybean in South America illustrates the challenges of current globalized
industrial food production, with 45% of livestock feed in the EU based on soybean imported
from Brazil and Argentina (EEA, 2017; Strada & Vila, 2015).
Current consumption of animal products is very unequally distributed, and animal protein can
continue to play a role in ensuring food security in much of the developing world (Steinfeld &
Gerber, 2010). However, substantially reducing the consumption of animal products in
developed countries and emerging economies has the potential to greatly lower the negative
impacts of farming while at the same time generating significant dividends in terms of people’s
health (Pelletier & Tyedmers, 2010; Smith et al., 2013; Tilman & Clark, 2014; Bajzelj et al.,
2014; Ripple et al., 2014; Springmann et al., 2016, see also Chapter 2.3).
Different types of policy instruments aimed at lowering and changing consumption have been
tried and studied (Story et al., 2008; Vinnari & Tapio, 2012). Informational policy instruments
aim to foster more sustainable food choices by offering information on production characteristics
or health implications of food types or products. They range from certification schemes and
(requiring) labels listing product ingredients or voluntary labels, signaling superior production
methods (in terms of environmental, social or animal welfare aspects), to health campaigns
(Reisch et al., 2013), and would seem promising given a lack of consumer awareness of the
implications of animal protein, an inaccuracy of messages on the health implications of (red)
49
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
meat consumption, and the potential for altering relevant consumer attitudes and motivations
identified by research (Boegueva et al., 2017, Dagevos &Voordouw, 2013). Economic policy
instruments such as subsidies or taxes have been used to influence consumer choice via
economic incentives and have shown to be particularly effective at driving dietary change, at
least in developed countries (Dallongeville et al., 2010; Capacci et al., 2011; Mytton & Clarke,
2012; Thow et al., 2014; Whitley et al., 2018). Regulatory standards, in turn, prescribe what may
be sold to consumers. However, the use of such policy instruments in the food sector has for the
most part been restricted to the case of age-related prohibitions on the purchase of tobacco or
alcohol (also see 6.4).
However, while the political Zeitgeist has favored informational policy tools, they often lack
effectiveness. Studies have identified the prevalence of an attitude - action gap, and showed that
structural constraints, such as information asymmetries and overflow as well as restrictions on
time and other relevant resources by consumers, have prevented informational policy instruments
from achieving major changes in food consumption patterns (Fuchs et al., 2016; Horne, 2009).
Among private certification schemes, those with the largest market shares often have little actual
impact on the sustainability characteristics of a food product, as they tend to emphasize
documentation rather than performance or fail to tackle the most impactful aspects of food
production, distribution and consumption (Fuchs & Boll, 2012; Kalfagianni & Fuchs, 2015).
Simultaneously, studies inquiring into the drivers of meat consumption have highlighted its
promotion via advertising and media images that transport images of identity (especially
masculinity, but also national and cultural identity) as well as artificially low meat prices
(Bogueva et al., 2017).
Thus, policy efforts to improve the sustainability of food consumption in general, and reduce
animal protein consumption in particular, would require a policy mix reaching far beyond the
(nudging of the) individual consumer (Fuchs et al., 2013, 2016; Glanz & Mullis, 1988; Wolf &
Schönherr, 2011). Such policies would need to focus on regulating the advertising of animal
products, as well as sources of low meat prices, among others through lowering subsidies and
enhancing (implementation of) animal welfare, labor and environmental standards.
Simultaneously, policies could support (elements of) alternative food systems such as
community-supported agriculture and different forms of farmers markets (Hinrichs & Lyson,
2007). Altering current dietary trajectories should not compromise the needs of low-income
populations and of IPLCs and will face significant cultural and psychological barriers (Kuhnlein
et al., 2006; Whitley et al., 2018).
Reducing food waste
Food waste currently runs at ~30-40% of all food production in developing and developed
countries alike (Gustavsson et al., 2011; Bond et al., 2013; FAO, 2015, 2017; Bellemare et al.,
2017). Causes and hence possible solutions differ geographically, and they include more
effective pest control (Oerke, 2006; Oliveira et al., 2014), improved food distribution and better
food storage in developing regions (Sheahan & Barrett, 2017), and consumer education
50
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
(Kallbekken & Saelen, 2013; Aschemann-Witzel et al., 2017; Young et al., 2017) and less
wasteful marketing practices in developed countries (Garrone et al., 2014; Halloran et al., 2014;
Rezaei & Liu, 2017). Some countries, such as Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand have
established operating systems that safely recycle more than one-third of their food waste as
animal feed (Menikpura et al., 2013; zu Ermgassen et al., 2016; Salemdeeb et al., 2017).
However, several studies suggest an upper bound to feasible reduction in food waste of around
50% (Parfitt et al., 2010; Bajzelj et al., 2014; Odegard & van der Voet, 2014). Cutting food
waste will thus require substantial changes in food supply chains and business models (Parfitt et
al., 2010; Papagyropoulou et al., 2014; Aschemann-Witzel et al., 2015; Roodhuyzen et al.,
2017).
Improving food distribution and localizing food systems
Localization of food systems is advocated by research (Hines, 2000) and by social movements,
and has entered policy making at various levels (see e.g., the EU Regulation 1305/2013 on
support for rural development or city-level food policies such as in Toronto or Manchester)
emphasising territoriality and sovereignty in food production and consumption. The major
arguments supporting short food supply chains (SFSCs), beyond their socio-economic impacts
such as revitalization of rural areas and local cultures (Brunori et al., 2016; Schmitt et al., 2017)
are their potential to enhance food security and decrease food miles, the latter one addressing
land-use change (less physical infrastructure for transportation), climate change (lower CO2
emissions due to less transportation) and energy use (Mundler & Rumpus, 2012). However, the
shortcomings of the local scale are also mentioned in literature, acknowledging that local is not
necessarily better in terms of ecological sustainability, health, social justice etc. (Born & Purcell,
2006; Brunori et al., 2016; Recanati et al., 2016; Schmitt et al., 2017). Evidence shows that the
ecological impacts of SFSCs can be diverse, depending on the product type, the farming system
(Rothwell et al., 2016), the manner of transportation/logistics (Mundler & Rumpus, 2012;
Nemecek et al., 2016), the natural resources available locally and the actual social (Recanati et
al., 2016), economic and policy context (Leventon & Laudan, 2017).
Positive environmental impacts of SFSCs can be improved if the localization of agricultural
production is coupled with: i) closing the loops between production, consumption and waste
management (Benis & Ferrão, 2017; Sala et al., 2017) (see also the section on circular economy
in 6.4), ii) urban planning (integrating agriculture into the management of urban systems)
(Barthel & Isendahl, 2013) through novel technological solutions that enable sustainable but
more intensive food production (e.g., vertical gardens) (see also 6.3.5), iii) alternative food
distribution options (e.g. social supermarkets or food banks) (Michelini et al., 2018), iv) dietary
changes as discussed below (Benis & Ferrão, 2017), and v) novel governance solutions across
the food chain that enable more direct engagement of local communities in food production
(Sonnino, 2017) and the (re)connection of various types of producers and consumers (Mount,
2012).
Expanding food market transparency and price stability
51
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
Food price increases during the 2007-08 world financial crisis resulted in severe impacts on the
quality of life in many countries (Ivanic & Martin, 2008; Bellemare, 2015), leading many to
assert that policies to increase food market transparency might lead to less volatility (Clapp,
2009; Minot, 2014). Policy responses to price increases have included reductions on food taxes
and import tariffs, and increasing subsidies and food-based safety nets, although there is mixed
evidence on which policies have been most effective in supporting poor populations (Wooden &
Zama, 2010), indicating that social targeting is needed in combination with food support
programs.
Public food procurement policies can also play a role in stabilizing price support for farmers. In
Brazil, where government expenditures represent 20% of the GDP, two initiatives of public
procurement of around US$300 million in expenditures are innovating to merge social and
environmental targets. The Food Acquisition Program (created in 2003) and the National
Program of School Feeding (created in 2009) have the purpose of: (i) providing healthy and
balanced food respecting the culture, values and eating habits, especially for populations in
socioeconomic vulnerability, and (ii) supporting the sustainable development of smallholding
agriculture by incentives for producing local and seasonal food (Brazil, 2017). While the impact
of these programs require further evaluation, their goals to acquire locally produced food for
school consumption while encouraging small-scale agricultural economies can be applicable in
different contexts.
6.3.2.2 Sustainably managing multifunctional forests
Expanding and improving community-based forest management and co-management
Community-based forest management has emerged as a promising forest management alternative
to state-controlled forest management (Charnley & Poe, 2007; Flint et al., 2008; Krott et al.,
2014; Paudyal et al., 2017). Almost one third of the forests in the Global South are now managed
by IPLCs (Fig. 6.2), more than twice the share of protected areas (Chape et al., 2005; RRI, 2014;
Blackman et al., 2017). Global trends towards decentralized management of forests, articulated
through the active recognition of IPLCs rights to self-governance, have substantially improved
the quality of life of forest-dependent communities, by providing them with greater livelihood
benefits (Agrawal et al., 2008; Gautam et al., 2004; Larson & Soto, 2008; Phelps et al., 2010;
Duchelle et al., 2014; RRI, 2014, 2016; Lawler & Bullock, 2017) including capital formation,
governance reform, community empowerment and societal change (Pokharel et al., 2007, 2015).
Expanding and improving of community-based forest management have provided substantial
opportunities for the conservation of forest ecosystems (Ostrom & Nagendra, 2006; Chazdon,
2008; Sandbrook et al., 2010; Porter-Bolland et al., 2012; Naughton-Treves & Wendland, 2014;
van der Ploeg et al., 2016; Asner et al., 2017; Robinson et al., 2017; Stickler et al., 2017).
Many countries in Asia, such as the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand have put
forward new organizations, authorities and bottom-up approaches to promote community-based
approaches to forest management (Sato, 2003; Poffenberger, 2006; Salam et al., 2006; Sunderlin,
2006; Sikor & Tan, 2011), in the light of growing evidence of their effectiveness at contributing
52
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
to poverty reduction (Ostrom, 1990; Brown et al., 2003; Gautam et al., 2004; Gilmour et al.,
2004; Gautam and Shivakoti, 2005; Sunderlin, 2006). These large areas managed by IPLCs do
not usually attract financial and other resources akin to that provided for government-managed
forest and protected areas. Moreover, there have been challenges in ensuring that communities
have the right to benefit from co-management arrangements, such as from the sale of timber
(Gritten et al., 2015) and ensuring that IPLCs do not suffer from community forestry
arrangements (such as in loss of food security or access to resources) (Sikor & Tan, 2011; Tuan
et al., 2017).
Figure 6.2. Global patterns of forest owned by and designated for IPLC. Source: RRI 2016
Forest titling programs have improved inclusion of settlers and secured alienation rights (Nelson
et al., 2001; Ostrom et al., 2002; Pagdee et al., 2006; Jacoby & Minten, 2007; Riggs et al., 2016).
However, forest tenure may not change management patterns without supporting the customary
institutions of IPLCs that enforce exclusion rules and legitimize claims to them (Place & Otsuka,
2001; Ojha et al., 2009; Kerekes & Williamson, 2010; Gabay & Alam, 2017).
Co-management of forest resources between the state and IPLCs, as well as other stakeholders,
has also been promoted as an alternative to centralized governance approaches to achieve socioeconomic and environmental objectives in developing countries (Carter & Gronow, 2005;
Kothari et al., 2013; Akamani & Hall, 2015). As forests are common-pool resources from which
the exclusion of potential users is difficult, achieving sustainable forest management can be
regarded a collective responsibility, especially in developing countries where the government has
limited capacity to implement appropriate forest policy and needs support of diverse stakeholders
(Sikor, 2006; Ostrom, 2010; Pokharel et al., 2015). In the above context, collaborative
governance is an appealing arrangement for sustainable forest management because of its
potential to combine strengths of different management approaches and stakeholders (Carter &
Gronow, 2005; Fernández-Giménez et al., 2008).
Improving Policies Relating to PES and REDD+
There has been a rapid expansion in the number of payments for ecosystem services (PES)
schemes and projects globally over the past 20 years, and many decision makers, from
53
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
governments to NGOs, are considering either initial experimentation or continued expansion of
PES. There is a great diversity of institutional configurations in PES arrangements, many of
which involve a strong role of the state (McElwee, 2012; Shapiro-Garza, 2013). However, the
effectiveness of PES approaches is currently unknown, namely because they are interpreted and
implemented in many different ways (Borner et al., 2017; Salzman et al., 2018). Overall, the
literature indicates that PES approaches are not a panacea (Muradian et al., 2013), due to high
preparation and transaction costs, uneven power relations, and distribution of benefits (Porras et
al., 2012; Salzman et al., 2018; Berbés-Blásquez, 2016; Cáceres et al., 2016; Van Hecken et al.,
2017). In other words, the performance of PES depends not just on economic incentives but also
on other factors like motivations and environmental values (Hack, 2010; Hendrickson &
Corbera, 2015; Grillos, 2017). Lessons learned from the literature on these economic financing
instruments for conservation include the need to have in place strong regulatory frameworks;
have clear metrics and indicators; have motivated buyers and sellers of services; recognize
pluralistic value systems alongside financial considerations; acknowledge the importance of
distributional impacts when designing economic instruments; and recognize that economic
approaches are not a panacea (Ezzine-de-Blas et al., 2016; Robalino & Pfaff, 2013; Pascual et
al., 2017; Hack, 2010; Hendrickson & Corbera, 2015; Grillos, 2017; van Hecken et al., 2017;
Salzman et al., 2018; see also section 6.3.4.5 on watershed PES)
One important PES-like initiative is REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest
Degradation), part of the negotiations under the UNFCCC since 2005 as a climate mitigation
strategy to compensate developing countries for reducing GHG emissions from deforestation and
forest degradation. REDD+ also aims to contribute to poverty alleviation of smallholders
(through sale of carbon credits or direct forest products) and biodiversity conservation. Carbon
forestry projects have expanded particularly rapidly in Latin America (Osborne, 2011; Corbera
& Brown, 2010; Rival, 2013) and Africa (Namirembe et al., 2014). However, the literature is
currently mixed on the success rates of forest carbon projects in general and REDD+ has faced a
number of challenges. These include a lack of a strong financial mechanism to ensure sufficient
funding and demand for credits (Turnhout et al., 2017), the high costs involved in setting up
REDD+ projects (Luttrell et al., 2016; Bottazzi et al., 2013; Visseren-Hamakers et al., 2012a),
meeting the technical requirements of REDD+ (Turnhout et al., 2017; Cerbu et al., 2013) and
REDD+’s ability to deliver non-carbon benefits such as biodiversity conservation (Hall et al.,
2012; Venter et al., 2013; Duque et al., 2014; Murray et al., 2015) and social livelihoods (Atela
et al., 2015; Boyd et al., 2007; Reynolds, 2012; Caplow et al., 2011; Lawlor et al., 2013).
REDD+ has also been observed to contribute to a recentralisation of forest governance by
bringing forests under renewed forms of government control, with potentially negative
consequences for nature, NCP and GQL (Ribot et al., 2006; Phelps et al., 2010; Sunderlin et al.,
2014; Duchelle et al., 2014; Vijge & Gupta, 2014; Abidin 2015).
The future of REDD+ depends on its ability to safeguard against negative side effects of REDD+
and ensure that forests continue to deliver noncarbon benefits (Chhatre et al., 2012; VisserenHamakers et al., 2012b; Tacconi et al., 2013; Luttrell et al., 2013, Ojea et al., 2015). As part of
this, REDD+ will need to be inclusive of multiple values and perspectives, including historical,
54
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
cultural and spiritual values (Gupta et al., 2012; Brugnach et al., 2014). This will require
adequate formal arrangements for the participation of IPLCs. This involvement is crucial, since
IPLCs control substantial areas of tropical forests (Anon, 2009; Bluffstone et al., 2013).
However, arrangements for participation by IPLC in REDD+ policies are not clear in most
country readiness plans for REDD+, despite safeguard guidance from UNFCCC (Ehara et al.,
2014), and participation has generally been weak in pilot activities, with many communities only
consulted, rather than being involved in a systematic manner in all aspects of REDD+ planning
(Hall, 2012; Brown, 2013). There is evidence that projects where IPLCs have been included
from the beginning are stronger (Chernela, 2014). There is also potential for inclusion of IPLCs
in community-based carbon monitoring, which has proven accurate and low cost (Danielsen et
al., 2013; Pratihast et al., 2013; Brofeldt et al., 2014; McCall et al., 2016). See Supplementary
Materials 6.2.3 for a detailed discussion on PES and REDD+.
Supporting Reduced Impact Logging
More responsible logging practices, such as Reduced Impact Logging (RIL), are options to avoid
deforestation and forest degradation. RIL, which involves close planning and control of
harvesting operations, has increased in importance in the past decades. Such logging practices
lower the ecological impacts of logging, especially on biodiversity (Bicknell et al., 2017;
Chaudhary et al., 2016; Martin et al., 2015). For example, in a study in East Kalimantan in
Indonesia, application of RIL techniques have been found resulting in nearly half (36 vs 60 trees
per ha) of collateral damage of trees as compared to the conventional harvesting methods (Sist,
2000). RIL techniques along with postharvest silvicultural treatments have also been found
effective in enhancing canopy tree growth and regeneration and controlling invasion by alien and
undesirable species (Campanello et al., 2009). Moreover, improved logging practices in tropical
forests can substantially reduce forest carbon loss and enhance retention (Putz et al., 2008).
Promoting and improving forest certification
Forest certification, an economic instrument introduced in the early 1990s to improve forest
management, can help address the concerns of deforestation and forest degradation and promote
conservation of biological diversity especially in the tropics by promoting sustainable forest
management and establishing deforestation-free supply chains (Rametsteiner & Simula, 2003;
Auld & Gulbrandsen, 2008; Damette & Delacote, 2011). For instance, certification has been
found to have positive impacts in terms of ecological outcomes (forest structure, regeneration,
and lower fire incidences) (Kalonga et al., 2015; Pena-Claros et al., 2009) and biodiversity
conservation in some places (Van Kuijk et al., 2009; Kalonga et al., 2016). Positive social
impacts, such as better working and living conditions, active local institutions for discussions
among the forestry company and local communities, and benefit sharing have also been
documented (Cubbage et al., 2010; Cerutti et al., 2014; Burivalova et al., 2016). There has also
been criticism of different certification schemes, and forest certification more generally, among
others on the fact that most certified forests are in the global North, instead of the South
(Rametsteiner & Simula, 2003), in part due to the technical and financial demands for becoming
55
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
certified can represent a hurdle for small and medium-sized enterprises in the South. For
instance, current certification schemes tend to favor large forestry operations and do not directly
translate to smaller operations. While there is still limited evidence of the impacts of different
forest certification schemes (Visseren-Hamakers & Pattberg, 2013), improved assessment
practices are suggesting ways forward (van de Ven and Cashore, 2018).
Controlling Illegal Logging
Illegal logging, which can be viewed as a symptom of failure of governance and law
enforcement, is a major problem in achieving sustainable forest management in many countries,
particularly forest-rich developing countries (Brack & Buckrell, 2011). Forest dependent poor
people are the most harmed by illegal logging while powerful economic groups benefit the most
from it (ODI, 2004). International trade in illegally logged timber is an important factor
associated with this problem (Brack & Buckrell, 2011). In recent years, however, consumer
countries have been paying increasing attention to trade in illegal timber and have taken different
measures to exclude illegally produced timber from the market. The European Union’s Action
Plan for Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT), published in 2003, is an
example of such measures. The FLEGT regulations and approaches have often been combined
with improved management of concessions in countries participating in FLEGT through
Voluntary Partnership Agreements with the EU (Tegegne et al. 2014). Apart from the European
Union’s Timber Regulation 995/2010, some other countries, including Australia, Indonesia,
Japan and USA, have their own law to control illegal logging (Hoare, 2015).
Monitoring and Regulating Forest Use
The development and availability of transparent forest monitoring data is a major step to
establish and improve the forest sector (Fuller, 2006). By identifying the extent of deforestation
on a regular basis, decision makers have the option to coordinate actions, prioritize areas and
develop policies to reduce forest losses. In the Brazilian Amazon, where the deforestation was
substantially reduced from 2004 to 2017 (INPE, 2017), the understanding of forest change
patterns was essential to allocate public resources and to provide the first reaction to the illegal
processes that were leading to deforestation in that region. The monitoring systems have been
improved to the point of offering daily real-time data, constituting one of the most important
tools for the fight against deforestation in Brazil (Nepstad et al., 2014; Assunção et al., 2015).
Also, global initiatives like the Global Forest Watch are supporting national and sub-national
governments to implement national law (as in the case of the law Nr 26331on “Minimum
Standards of Environmental Protection of Native Forests” in Argentina), as well as civil society
and private sector engagement in forest monitoring and conservation (FAO, 2015; GFW, 2017).
Reforestation projects have contributed to reversing the deforestation trend and increasing forest
cover in some countries (Supplementary Materials 6.2.3). Especially REDD+ and PES schemes
have contributed to expand reforestation and afforestation projects in recent years (Carnus et al.,
2006; Madsen et al., 2010). REDD+ projects have expanded particularly rapidly in Latin
56
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
America (Osborne, 2011; Corbera & Brown, 2010; Corbera & Brown, 2008) and Africa (Jindal
et al., 2012; Namirembe et al., 2014).
Land tenure recognition and cadastral registers are tools that contribute to the implementation of
regulations aimed to protect forest and support reforestation actions. For instance, the Rural
Environmental Registry (CAR) in Brazil records and analyses information about land use and
environmental compliance in all private properties. CAR registration is mandatory and linked to
official credit support, environmental licensing and regularization. It is also used in voluntary
agreements for trading agricultural products and facilitating the process of forest restoration to
reach legal compliance (Britaldo et al., 2014; Servicio Florestal Brasileiro, 2016). The
implementation of he CAR system in Brazil is an example of confronting the simultaneious
challenges of monitoring, enforcement and compliance, and reconciling forest and water
conservation and other production sectors, particularly agriculture.
Forest concessions can also be an option to protect forest cover and regulate use, reducing the
pressure to replace the natural vegetation with other land uses. Concessions give the holder
rights, including harvesting timber (or other forest products) and use of forest services (e.g.
tourism, watershed protection) (Gray, 2002). Concessions, if properly governed, can be an
important instrument to provide economic value to forests and reduce the pressure to replace the
natural vegetation with other land uses around the world. Besides employment and revenue
creation, forest concessions may reinforce the presence of the state and improve the rights over
land tenure (FAO, 2015). Concessions are also a good governance tool for the state, considering
the establishment of conditions and compensation, such as the development of local services
(schools, medical assistance, security) and infrastructure (water supply, transport, roads,
bridges). This instrument can be applied not only by entrepreneurs and companies, but also by
IPLCs with different land tenure regimes (van Hensbergen, 2016). Poorly governed concession
schemes, however, can drive deforestation and marginalize local communities. Governments can
enhance the contributions of forest concessions by requiring participatory planning, long-term
sustainable forest management, and control of illegal logging.
Problems of forest concessions in tropical countries are related to weak local governance, poor
level of compliance, difficulties with monitoring and traceability systems, low technical capacity
of managing the forest, and insufficient rewards for sustainable forest management in the global
timber market (Azevedo-Ramos et al., 2015; van Hensbergen, 2016; Segura-Warnholtz, 2017).
Therefore, forest concessions are often regarded drivers of forest degradation (PROFOR, 2017).
Corruption in attaining timber concessions is another problem associated with this instrument,
especially in developing countries. There are initiatives of implementing monitoring and
traceability systems, but it is important to manage the bureaucracy and additional transaction
costs that may deter potential investors (Azevedo-Ramos et al., 2015).
6.3.2.3 Protecting nature within and outside of protected areas
Improving management of protected areas
57
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
There is a large literature that has evaluated the performance of protected areas (PAs) in halting
biodiversity loss and securing ecosystem services into the future, showing mostly positive (albeit
moderate) conservation outcomes (Carranza et al., 2014; Barnes et al., 2016; Eklund et al., 2016;
Gray et al., 2016). However, research also points to substantial shortfalls in PA effectiveness
around the world (Laurance et al., 2012; Guidetti et al., 2014; Watson et al., 2014; Geldmann et
al., 2015, 2018; Schulze et al., 2018). Poor PA performance is attributed to management
deficiencies related to inadequate resources and weak governance. It also includes low
compliance due to inhibited local access to important resources (Stoll-Kleemann, 2010; Bennett
& Dearden, 2014; Bruner et al., 2001; Eklund & Cabeza, 2016; Leverington et al., 2010; Watson
et al., & Hockings, 2014). Evidence shows that mproving PA effectiveness depends on enforcing
sound management (Juffe-Bignoli et al., 2014), monitoring (Schulze et al., 2018) and adequate
resourcing (McCarthy et al., 2012). Using robust methods, such as those available via the global
Protected Areas Management Effectiveness (PAME) initiative, controlling potential bias, and
integrating data on ecological outcomes (e.g. temporal and spatial counterfactual analysis) and
social indicators could make the assessment of PA effectiveness more systematic and
comparable across spatial and temporal scales, addressing the needs of different decision makers
more effectively (Coad et al., 2015; Eklund et al., 2016; Stoll-Kleemann, 2010; Watson et al.,
2016) for all decision makers.
PAs generate multiple benefits to both local and distant populations (Chan et al., 2006; Ceausu et
al., 2015; Egoh et al., 2011; Larsen et al., 2012; Schröter et al., 2014a), and provide fundamental
contributions such as protecting watersheds, buffering extreme events, regulating local climate,
harbouring biodiversity, and provinding spaces of emotional, social and spiritual fullfilment.
Protected areas and these multiple contributions also have associated costs in limiting and
regulating land uses and forms of access to resources (Birner & Wittmer, 2004; Holzkamper &
Seppelt, 2007; Wätzold et al., 2010; Wätzold & Schwerdtner, 2004; Nalle et al., 2004).
Balancing the benefits and costs of PAs across different stakeholders can increase the
management effectiveness of PAs (see also Supplementary Materials 6.2.4). Options include comanagement governance regimes (i.e. sustainable-use PAs), which engage communities in
maintaining cultural and livelihood benefits (Oldekop et al., 2016), and jointly consider
approaches to mitigating conflicts and managing trade-offs. PA effectiveness can also be
enhanced by supporting local households to establish or find alternative livelihood and income
options (i.e., improving options and capabilities; Neudert et al., 2017), supporting benefit-sharing
mechanisms that eliminate inequalities (Swemmer et al., 2017) and securing the availability of
financial resources to support these measures for a sufficiently long period to ensure
sustainability (Wätzold et al., 2010).
Improving spatial and functional connectivity of PAs
The functionality of PA networks cannot be maintained when the habitat area is too small and
fragmented, and when the landscape beyond PA boundaries is inhospitable (Bengtsson et al.,
2003). PAs then become islands of biological conservation (Bauer & Van Der Merwe, 2004;
Crooks et al., 2011; Seiferling et al., 2012; Barber et al., 2014; Wegmann et al., 2014)
58
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
threatening the long-term viability of their biodiversity, especially many wildlife populations
(DeFries et al., 2005; Newmark, 2008; Riordan et al., 2015). There are also significant
geographic and ecological biases in the representation of habitats and ecosystems in PAs (e.g.,
Pressey et al., 2003; Joppa & Pfaff, 2009, Butchart et al., 2012, 2015), which result in unplanned
assemblages of PAs confined to economically unproductive areas (Scott et al., 2001; Evans,
2012), with little ecological relevance (Opermanis et al., 2012), which ultimately compromise
their overall conservation potential (Watson et al., 2014).
Options to address these challenges include several policy support tools for (spatial) conservation
prioritization to inform where to establish new PAs so that more biodiversity is conserved in a
cost-effective way, accounting for multiple competing sea- or land uses and socioeconomic
factors (e.g., Dobrovolski et al., 2014; Forest et al., 2007; Isaac et al., 2007; Montesino Pouzols
et al., 2014; Nin et al., 2016; Di Minin et al., 2017). Spatial conservation planning can be a
useful tool for enhancing landscape connectivity, maximizing the ecological representation of
PA networks and safeguarding Key Biodiversity Areas (Edgar et al., 2008; Krosby et al., 2010,
2015; Dawson et al., 2011; Cabeza, 2013; Dickson et al., 2014, 2017; Kukkala et al., 2016;
Watson et al., 2016; Saura et al., 2018). Research has estimated that only 19.2% of the ~15,000
Key Biodiversity Areas identified around the world are fully protected, and that the proportion of
the PAs comprising these areas is decreasing over time (Butchart et al., 2012; UNEP-WCMC &
IUCN, 2016). Therefore, protected areas are being disproportionately established in areas that
are suboptimal from a biodiversity conservation point of view (Butchart et al., 2012, 2015).
Shifting PA establishment to focus on Key Biodiversity Areas is thus an important policy
priority to reverse extinction risk trends.
Building on the expansion of PAs under Aichi Biodiversity Target 11, the next phase of global
biodiversity targets offers an excellent opportunity to correct some of the geographic biases of
establishing PAs in recent decades, often based on local and opportunistic criteria (Pressey et al.,
2003; Joppa & Pfaff, 2009; Lewis et al., 2017). Especially the conservation of world’s oldgrowth forests can be addressed in Multilateral Environmental Agreements, as targets for PA
expansion (e.g., Watson et al., 2018). Expanding PAs requires managing trade-offs among
societal objectives, and improvement can be achieved with global coordination (DeFries et al.,
2007; Polasky et al., 2008; Faith, 2011; Venter et al., 2014) and consultation of different
stakeholders.
Improving transboundary PA and landscape governance
Options to enhance PA effectiveness also need to address conservation planning and
management at broader geographic scales (van Teeffelen et al., 2006; Le Saout et al., 2013;
Kukkala et al., 2016). Transboundary conservation planning is essential to improve the global
status of biodiversity (Erg et al., 2012; Pendoley et al., 2014; Dallimer & Strange, 2014;
Lambertucci et al., 2014), particularly for wide-ranging species that cannot be conserved within
political boundaries, such as large carnivores (Wikramanayake et al., 2011; Wegmann et al.,
2014; Santini et al., 2016; Di Minin et al., 2017), species that migrate (Flesch et al., 2010; Runge
59
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
et al., 2015; Owens, 2016) and species that might shift their range in response to climate change
(Wiens et al., 2011; Zimbres et al., 2012; Johnston et al., 2013; Pavón-Jordán et al., 2015).
Research shows that setting conservation targets in a spatially coherent manner beyond national
borders is vital for improving the effectiveness of PA networks (van Teeffelen et al., 2015;
Wegmann et al., 2014). Different works have demonstrated a major efficiency gap between
national and global conservation priorities, finding that if each country sets its own conservation
priorities without international coordination, more biodiversity is lost than if conservation
decision-making is done through international partnerships and globally coordinated efforts
(Montesino-Pouzols et al., 2014; Santini et al., 2016). The European Union’s Natura 2000
network of PAs provides an illustrative example of joint initiatives crossing political and national
boundaries. With more than 27,000 sites across all EU countries, covering over 18% of the EU’s
land area and almost 6% of its marine environments, Natura 2000 is the most expansive
coordinated network of PAs in the world (Milieu et al., 2016). It is the cornerstone of the EU’s
Biodiversity Strategy to 2020, and one of the largest policy efforts in conserving biodiversity
irrespective of national and political boundaries. A plethora of research studies has evidenced the
overall ecological effectiveness of Natura 2000, with a special emphasis on terrestrial vertebrates
and threatened habitats (Gruber et al., 2012; Pellissier et al., 2013; Kolecek et al., 2014;
Sanderson et al., 2016; Beresford et al., 2016; Milieu et al., 2016). The Greater Mekong
Subregion Biodiversity Conservation Corridors Project or the MesoAmerican Biological
Corridor are also key initiatives illustrating the importance of transboundary conservation
planning at the landscape level (ADB, 2011; Mendoza et al., 2013; Crespin & García-Villalta,
2014). Policy options to promote transformative change towards sustainability in the Arctic
include the application of new, multi-sector frameworks for integrated ecosystem management
(Pinsky et al., 2018), the establishment of a circumpolar network of Protected Areas (Fredrikson,
2015) and the proposal for the creation of a global Arctic sanctuary in the high seas (European
Parliament, 2014; Greenpeace, 2014).
Recognizing management by IPLC and OECMs
The conservation of a substantial proportion of the world’s biodiversity and NCP largely
depends on the customary institutions and management systems of IPLCs (Maffi, 2005; Gorenflo
et al., 2012; Gavin et al., 2015; Renwick et al., 2017; Garnett et al., 2018). Evidence suggests
that IPLCs are able to develop robust institutions to govern their land- and seascapes in ways that
align with biodiversity conservation (ICC, 2008, 2010; Stevens et al., 2014; Ens et al., 2015,
2016; Trauernicht et al., 2015; Blackman et al., 2017; Schleicher et al., 2017). These customary
institutions and management systems are based on locally-grounded knowledge and encoded in
complex cultural practices, relational values, usufruct systems, spiritual beliefs, kinship-oriented
philosophies, and principles of stewardship ethics (Berkes et al., 2000; Bird, 2011; Gammage,
2011; Kohn, 2013; Walsh et al., 2013; Trauernicht et al., 2015; Gaudamus & RaymondYakoubian, 2015; Fernández-Llamazares et al., 2016; Renwick et al., 2017).
60
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
Formal recognition of IPLC rights over their territories can be an effective means to significantly
slow habitat loss (Nepstad et al., 2006; Soares-Filho et al., 2010; Ricketts et al., 2010; PorterBolland et al., 2012; Nolte et al., 2013; Paneque-Gálvez et al., 2013; Ceddia et al., 2015;
Blackman et al., 2017). The growing recognition of governance diversity in global
environmental policy offers numerous opportunities for sound management of nature and its
contributions to the larger society (Berkes, 2009; Kothari et al., 2012; Ruiz-Mallén & Corbera,
2013; Nilsson et al., 2016), while improving the quality of life of IPLCs, including addressing
some of the human rights violations associated with the establishment and governance of some
PAs (e.g., Brockington & Igoe, 2006; Goldman, 2011; Kohler & Brondizio, 2016). Certain strict
PAs have induced displacements and exclusion of IPLCs (West et al., 2006; Mascia & Claus,
2008; Curran et al., 2009; Agrawal & Redford, 2009; Brockington & Wilkie, 2015), undermining
food sovereignty (Golden et al., 2011; Foale et al., 2013; Nakamura & Hanazaki, 2016; Sylvester
et al., 2016) and contributing to psychological distress and trauma (Dowie, 2009; Zahran et al.,
2015; Snodgrass et al., 2016).
A crucial breakthrough in conservation paradigms over the last decades has been the emergence
and growing awareness of a number of IPLC-centred designations to conservation, including comanagement regimes, community-based conservation areas, integrated conservation and
development projects, sacred natural sites, Indigenous Community Conserved Areas (ICCAs),
and biocultural approaches to conservation (e.g., Berkes, 2004, 2007, 2009; Folke et al., 2005;
Armitage et al., 2007; Kothari et al., 2013; Brooks et al., 2013; Gavin et al., 2015; Alexander et
al., 2016; Berdej & Armitage, 2016; Sterling et al., 2017). Many of these approaches will
contribute a substantial share of the world’s “Other Effective Area-Based Conservation
Measures” (OECMs) such as proposed under Aichi Target 11 (Jonas et al., 2014, 2017; Laffoley
et al., 2017; Garnett et al., 2018).
Sacred natural sites, as a specific example of OECMs, are areas of land or water that have
spiritual values to certain IPLC (Thorley & Gunn, 2007; Ormsby, 2011). They contribute to the
conservation of diverse habitats and species as well as traditional land use practices (Salick et al.,
2007; Metcalfe et al., 2009; Gavin et al., 2015; Samakov & Berkes, 2017). Their governing
institutions are diverse, including informal norms, rules and taboos passed on by generations
(Anthwal et al., 2010; Bhagwat & Rutte, 2006b; Bobo et al., 2015; Ya et al., 2014), and are
under increasing pressure from globalization (Bhagwat & Rutte, 2006; Virtanen, 2002;
Domínguez & Benessaiah, 2015; Fernández-Llamazares et al., 2018). Sacred natural sites have
been combined with legal and economic instruments, often with controversial results (Bhagwat
& Rutte, 2006b; Brandt et al., 2015). Appropriate legal recognition of sacred natural sites has
been deemed as a critical factor to ensure their effectiveness in conserving nature and NCP
(Davies et al., 2013; Smyth, 2015; Mwamidi et al., 2018). Specific legal recognition of sacred
natural sites builds on prior broader recognition of collective IPLC tenure rights and selfdetermination (Kothari, 2006; Berkes, 2009; Almeida, 2015; Borrini-Feyerabend & Hill, 2015).
However, there is evidence that top-down forms of recognition, without consultation often
undermine local initiative and grassroots action (Borrini-Feyerabend et al., 2010; Kothari et al.,
2013). Best practice cases indicated that knowledge-sharing and mutual learning are key success
61
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
factors when sacred sites are recognized as OECMs (Aerts et al., 2016b; Irakiza et al., 2016;
Jonas et al., 2018).
Addressing the Illegal Wildlife Trade
Despite intense worldwide efforts, the Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT) still represents a major threat
to endangered species. Research shows the major strengths and weaknesses of efforts to address
the IWT. CITES currently lacks a global enforcement agency to oversee compliance, which has
been argued to compromise its overall effectiveness (Phelps et al., 2010; Heinen & Chapagain,
2002; Oldfield, 2003; Zimmerman, 2003; Reeve, 2006; Toledo et al., 2012; Challender et al.,
2015). Further, CITES enforcement within countries is often sporadic at best, with many
developing countries lacking the knowledge and identification facilities to help control and
report illegal trade (Zhang et al., 2008; Shanee, 2012). The International Consortium on
Combating Wildlife Crime (ICCWC) has helped in providing support to countries in the fields of
policing, customs, prosecutions and the judiciary, (e.g., through the creation of the ICCWC
Wildlife and Forest Crime Analytical Toolkit; UNODC, 2012) and informing IWT decisionmaking (Nellemann et al., 2014; Sollund & Maher, 2015). In the meantime, research shows that
intergovernmental initiatives at the regional level, such as the ASEAN Wildlife Enforcement
Network, including 10 Southeast Asian countries, and EU-TWIX, an online forum and database
on IWT patterns within the European Union, are also essential for assisting national law
enforcement agencies in detecting and monitoring IWT across national borders (Rosen & Smith,
2010; Sollund & Maher, 2015). Civil society and NGO support, such as through TRAFFIC, has
been essential for many countries to keep their mandatory reporting requirements for CITES up
to date (Reeve, 2006).
Some studies are examining where resources could best be prioritized for improved protected
area management and law enforcement, as well as to disrupt shipping routes of IWT (Kiringe et
al., 2007; Plumptre et al., 2014; Ihwagi et al., 2015; Patel et al., 2015; Tulloch et al., 2015;
Lindsey et al., 2017). Improving detection capacity for “invisible” wildlife trades, through
improved data, capacity-building and implementation of innovative technologies such as DNA
barcoding and stable isotope analysis, is often cited as a global priority for IWT control (Phelps
et al., 2010; Nijman & Nekaris, 2012; Phelps & Webb, 2015; Symes, 2017).
Prioritization of IWT in criminal justice systems has generally led to more effective law
enforcement responses (Lowther et al., 2002; Sollund & Maher, 2015; EIA, 2016; Jayanathan,
2016). Similarly, increases in anti-poaching patrols in protected areas generally leads to
significant declines in levels of poaching (Dobson & Lynes, 2008; Jachmann, 2008; Fischer et
al., 2014; Critchlow et al., 2016; Henson et al., 2016; Moore et al., 2017). Implementing
measures to combat corruption among rangers, crime investigators and other relevant officials
and civil servants, is also deemed critical to halt IWT (Smith & Walpole, 2005; Bennett, 2015;
UNODC, 2016). Also, IPLCs are important allies in global efforts to combat IWT on the ground
(Roe, 2011; MacMillan & Nguyen, 2013; Ihwagi et al., 2015; Cooney et al., 2016; Humber et al.,
2016; Benyei et al., 2017; Biggs et al., 2017; Massé et al., 2017; Roe et al., 2017), although they
62
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
often suffer from blanket hunting bans established at local levels that do not discriminate
between endangered and common animals (McElwee, 2012) as well as use of trade bans to
address other threats such as climate change (Weber et al., 2015). Similarly, both NGO and
research presence have been shown to deter wildlife poaching, particularly in areas with minimal
governmental surveillance (Hohman, 2007; Pusey et al., 2007; Campbell et al., 2011; N’Goran et
al., 2012; Laurance, 2013; Mohd-Azlan & Engkamat, 2013; Daut et al., 2015; Piel et al., 2015;
Sollund & Maher, 2015; Tagg et al., 2015).
Finally, well-targeted, species-specific and evidence-based demand reduction policy
interventions for illegally-sourced wildlife and its products are also growing in scope and extent,
on the understanding that legally-sourced products are managed sustainably based on CITES
non-detriment findings, and harvested and traded in accordance with national and international
laws (CITES, 2017; Moorhouse et al., 2017). Social marketing strategies (e.g. discouraging rhino
horn consumption in Vietnam through TV ads with celebrities) coupled with broad outreach and
educational campaigns, are a common strategy to change consumer behaviour (Drury, 2009,
2011; Dutton et al., 2011; Gratwicke et al., 2008a; Veríssimo et al., 2012; Challender &
MacMillan, 2014; TRAFFIC, 2016; Truong et al., 2016), although evidence on the effectiveness
of such policies is still virtually lacking (MacMillan & Challender, 2014; Challender et al.,
2015). Regular online monitoring of e-commerce platforms, websites and social media offers
substantial opportunities for the enforcement of IWT regulations (Izzo, 2010; Hansen et al.,
2012; Lavorgna, 2015; TRAFFIC, 2015).
Improving Sustainable Wildlife Management
Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) is an essential tool to conserve wildlife while
considering the socioeconomic needs of human populations, including IPLCs (Gillingham &
Lee, 1999; Spiteri & Nepal, 2006; Pailler et al., 2015; Riehl et al., 2015; Campos-Silva & Peres,
2016) and the generation of multiple contributions to people (Holmlund & Hammer, 1999; Díaz
et al., 2005; Kremen et al., 2007; Whelan et al., 2008, 2015; Kunz et al., 2011; Moleón et al.,
2014; Ripple et al., 2014; Poufoun et al., 2016). Several best practices in fostering SWM (e.g.,
mitigating human-wildlife conflicts) have emerged over the last decades (Brooks et al., 2013;
FAO, 2016; Nyhus, 2016), and the debate increasingly includes animal welfare aspects, among
others under the heading of “compassionate conservation” (Bekoff, 2013).
Both incentive-driven and financial compensation schemes can contribute widely to nature
conservation and benefit sharing with IPLCs and provide economic compensation for those
bearing most of the costs of maintaining public benefits associated with biodiveristy
conservation (Naughton-Treves et al., 2003; Maclennan et al., 2009; Persson et al., 2015;
Dhungana et al., 2016, Supplementary Materials 6.2.4). However, the effectiveness of wildlife
compensation schemes in conserving nature and contributing to local quality of life varies
(Boitani et al., 2010; Ravenelle & Nyhus, 2017). Some works show that wildlife compensation
schemes can reduce conflict (Zabel & Hom-Müller, 2008), reduce wildlife killings (Okello et al.,
2014) and recover wildlife populations (Persson et al., 2015), particularly in contexts where
63
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
IPLCs are facing acute subsistence needs or with wildlife that imposes disproportionate costs.
However, several pitfalls and operational issues undermine the effectiveness of wildlife
compensation payments mostly related to their administration, including crowding-out effects,
unequal distribution of benefits, elite capture, corruption or leakage (e.g., Bulte & Rondeau,
2005; Ogra & Badola, 2008; Spiteri et al., 2008; Agarwala et al., 2010; Uphadyay, 2013;
Anyango-Van Zwieten, et al. 2015). Also, some authors have questioned their financial
sustainability in the long-term (Nyhus et al., 2003; Bulte & Rondeau, 2005; Swenson & Andrén,
2005; Bauer et al., 2015). In general, research highlights that wildlife compensation schemes are
not a silver-bullet solution, although they might be indeed valuable in certain contexts and under
certain conditions (Haney, 2007; Dickmann et al., 2011; Ravenelle & Nyhus, 2017).
Conservation performance payments, conditional on specific conservation outcomes (e.g., bird
breeding success), have been argued to partially address some of the operational challenges of
incentives focusing on compensation for losses to predation (Zabel & Holm-Müller, 2008).
Nature-based tourism is another revenue-generating use of certain wildlife that can provide
incentives for IPLCs to conserve biodiversity in appropriate contexts (Bookbinder et al., 1998;
Kiss, 2004; Hearne & Santos, 2005; Lindsey et al., 2005; Lai & Nepal, 2006; Stronza, 2007;
Osano et al., 2013). IPLCs with economically viable ecotourism programs linked to wildlife are
likely to steer SWM (Stem et al., 2003; Krüger, 2005; Clements et al., 2010; Mendoza-Ramos &
Prideaux, 2017), but only when benefits are culturally-appropriate and equitably distributed
(Bookbinder et al., 1998; Naidoo & Adamowicz, 2005; He et al., 2008), land tenure is secured
(Charnley, 2005; Haller et al., 2008; Bluwstein, 2017), the social and political justice aspirations
of IPLCs are respected (Stronza & Gordillo, 2008; Coria & Calfucura, 2012), and the value
conflicts introduced by tourism development are fully addressed (Lai & Nepal, 2006; Waylen et
al., 2010).
Although financial benefits to sustain SWM have often been prioritized (Tisdell, 2004; Ogra &
Badola, 2008), incentives to engage IPLCs in SWM can also include education, empowerment
and opportunities for capacity development (Nabane & Matzke, 1997; Brooks et al., 2009),
social services and infrastructure (Spiteri & Nepal, 2006), as well as devolution of IPLC rights to
manage, and benefit from, wildlife conservation (Lindsey et al., 2009; Western et al., 2015;
Nilsson et al., 2016). Moreover, engaging women in SWM as direct beneficiaries and key
stewards of wildlife can help bridging the agendas of gender equality and SWM, particularly
within the framework of the SDG (Nabane & Matzke, 1997; Espinosa, 2010; Staples & Natcher,
2015; FAO, 2016; UNEP, 2016; Leisher et al., 2016; Lelelit et al., 2017). Gender mainstreaming
approaches are crucial for the success of community-based SWM (Ogra, 2012; Meola, 2013;
UNESCO, 2016; Davies et al., 2018).
Manage Invasive Alien Species through multiple policy instruments
There are more than 40 international legal instruments dealing with the issue of invasive alien
species (IAS), including CITES and the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, as well numerous
national laws. However, there are many legal, institutional and social barriers to effective
invasive species management, including information management challenges, resourcing, risk
64
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
perception and lack of public support, and definitional and jurisdictional issues that can generate
a lack of coherent, systemic and community-partnered approach to IAS management. This is
particularly the case in urban and peri-urban areas where rapid urban growth and sprawl occurs
(Martin et al., 2016; Le Gal, 2017; Riley, 2012; Vane and Runhaar, 2016). Further, low
economic incentives to engage private landowners can undermine the effectiveness of the
frameworks for IAS management and biodiversity protection (Martin et al., 2016). Developing
and implementing IAS management strategies in collaboration with IPLC has been suggested as
an effective means to enhance local capacity to prevent, detect and eradicate IAS in areas
inhabited or managed by IPLC, although the evidence still lies on weak empirical footing, with
only a few case-based studies available (e.g., Hall, 2009; Dobbs et al., 2015). It is well
established that social, political and economic values, as well as cultural worldviews have been
shown to underlie the perception of IAS, as well as preferences over management options
(O’Brien, 2006; Warren, 2007; Hall, 2009; Crowley et al., 2017). In view of this, direct inclusion
of IPLC on deliberations over IAS management decisions can help to identify the most strategic
and effective measures for IAS control, as well as to anticipate conflict and foster dialogue over
different values in inclusive ways (Robinson et al., 2005; Bhattacharyya et al., 2014).
Potential solutions include treating IAS as a collective action problem rather than a private
landowner problem (Martin et al., 2016; Graham et al., 2016; Graham, 2013; Howard et al.,
2016), implementing projects for removal of IAS through direct payments (Bax et al., 2003;
McAlpine at al., 2007; Rumlerova et al., 2016; Brown et al., 2016), through tax incentives
combined with restoration work and tradeable permits (see examples in Supplementary Materials
6.2.4).
6.3.2.4 Expanding ecosystem restoration projects and policies
Ecological restoration is the process of assisting the recovery of an ecosystem that has been
degraded, damaged, or destroyed (SER, 2004) and reforestation can have potential positive
impacts to help ecosystems adjust to climate change, such as through restoring altered
hydrological cycles, extending habitat for species threatened by climate change, or protecting
coastal areas from storms and sea level rise (Locatelli et al., 2015). For instance, the UN is
committed to restoration through projects such as reforestation for carbon sequestration (e.g.
REDD+) (Nellemann & Corcoran, 2010; Watson et al., 2000; Munasinghe & Swart, 2005) or
restoring wetlands for flood protection. There is wide agreement on the importance of expanding
restoration efforts, including the CBD Aichi Target 15 that commits to restoration of at least 15%
of degraded ecosystems by 2020, the European Union Biodiversity Strategy Target 2, and the
Bonn Challenge to restore 150 and 350 million hectares of the world’s deforested and degraded
lands by 2020 and 2030, respectively. Restoration and reforestation of 12 million ha of forests by
2030 are also key elements of the implementation of the Brazilian Nationally Determined
Commitments (NDC) of the Paris Agreement.
Restoration projects make use of both regulatory and market instruments in policy mixes, such as
public financing, mitigation banking or offsetting, tax incentives, and performance bonds
(Hallwood, 2006; Reiss et al., 2009; Robertson, 2004; Ruhl et al., 2009). Tax incentives for set-
65
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
asides for restoration work, such as Landcare & Bushcare policies (in Australia), are farmer
voluntary policies that encourage community-based strategic restoration projects (Compton and
Beeton, 2012), including bush set-asides for recovery from grazing and grants to replant and
fence off bushland. Farmers pay for at least half the restoration costs, which can be reclaimed
through tax incentives (Abensperg-Traun et al., 2004). The Working for Water Program in South
Africa is an example of an approach that combines IAS removal and restoration through targeted
employment and payments to poorer participants. The project has been credited with success in
indigenous vegetation species recovery (Beater et al., 2008; van Wilgen & Wannenburgh, 2016)
and increasing water yields (Le Maitre et al., 2000, 2002; Dye & Jarmain, 2004). Lessons from
the South Africa program include the need for continuous monitoring and frequent follow-up, the
need to train personnel, and the need for active restoration (and replanting) of indigenous tree
species on cleared plots. Another national example of integrating restoration objectives into
specific policies is that of the Rural Environmental Registry (CAR), which supports the
implementation of the new Forest Law in Brazil (see section on Monitoring and regulating forest
use above).
Contextual and historical legacies often shape restoration practices. Therefore, there is increasing
recognition that restoration projects need to be seen as part of larger social-ecological systems
(Dunham et al., 2018; Zingraff-Hamed, 2017), also considering social goals in the planning,
decision-making, implementation and success evaluation of such projects (Junker, 2008; Hallett
et al., 2013; Higgs, 2005; Burke & Mitchell, 2007; Woolsey et al., 2005; 2007). It is for example
increasingly recognised that it is beneficial to involve all relevant stakeholder groups to gain
acceptance (Junker et al., 2007) and to promote social and environmental learning (Pahl Wostl,
2006; Restore, 2013; Petts, 2006). One example is the ‘re-wilding’ approach in the US (Swart et
al., 2001; Hall, 2010) to restore to pre-European settlement ecosystems, which contrasts with the
cultural landscape approach in Germany (Westphal et al., 2010). The importance of community
culture and normative values in shaping social acceptance of restoration projects has often been
neglected (Ostergren et al., 2008; Waylen et al., 2009), with acceptance depending on whether
restoration builds upon the emotional or cultural attachments that communities have to a place or
supports traditional patterns of use (Baker et al., 2014; Buijs, 2009; Drenthen, 2009; Lejon,
2009; Shackelford et al., 2013). Participation, such as through community reforestation, is seen
to reduce the risk of conflict (Eden and Tunstall, 2006; Gobster and Barro, 2000; Higgs, 2003)
and promises more equitable outcomes, such as access to ecosystem services. This opens
restoration as a tool for poverty alleviation. However, there is a knowledge gap in defining
measures for social-economic attributes, although this has recently received attention (Baker &
Eckerberg, 2016). Overall, there is a need for more research into the realized social and
economic outcomes or impacts of restoration (see Supplementary Materials 6.2.4).
Revitalizing ILK and restoring IPLC institutions
Evidence shows that indigenous and local knowledge (ILK) is rapidly changing and eroding in
many parts of the world (Cox et al., 2000; Brodt, 2001; Godoy et al., 2005; Brosi et al., 2007;
Turner & Turner, 2008; Reyes-García et al., 2007, 2013, 2014; Tang & Gavin, 2016; Aswani et
al., 2018). While ILK is inherently dynamic (Berkes, 1999; Gómez-Baggethun & Reyes-García,
66
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
2013; Reyes-García, et al. 2016), it has been shown that at least some dimensions of the socialecological memory of IPLC are becoming substantially eroded (Ford et al., 2006, 2010; Turvey
et al., 2010; Fernández-Llamazares et al., 2015). Rapid social and cultural changes create
discontinuity in the transmission of ecological knowledge (Singh et al., 2010; Etiendem et al.,
2011; Reyes-García et al., 2010, 2014; Turvey et al., 2010; Shen et al., 2012; Guèze et al., 2015;
Luz et al., 2015, 2017), impact the functioning of collective institutions, many of which have
supported sustainable resource management and diverse biocultural landscapes for long periods
of time (Agrawal, 2001; Oldekop et al., 2013; Fernández-Llamazares et al., 2016, 2018; Sirén,
2017).
Policies focused at revitalizing language and local ecological knowledge also contribute to
recognizing and, in some cases, restoring IPLCs’ customary institutions for ecosystem
management, which have been weakened or eroded (Aikenhead, 2001; McCarter et al., 2014;
McCarter & Gavin, 2014; Tang & Gavin, 2016). For example, in contexts where environmental
degradation is linked to the loss of cultural values, ILK revitalization efforts have been
successfully linked to ecological restoration projects, also providing cultural incentives
(Anderson ,1996; Long et al., 2003; López-Maldonado & Berkes, 2017; Reyes-García et al.,
2018). Some customary education programs have also integrated ILK in school curricula,
contributing to strengthen networks of ILK transmission (Kimmerer, 2002; Reyes-García et al.,
2010; Ruiz-Mallén et al., 2010; McCarter & Gavin, 2011, 2014; Hamlin, 2013; Abah et al.,
2015). Similarly, it has been shown that ILK revitalization efforts are most effective when
controlled and managed by the communities involved (Singh et al., 2010; McCarter et al., 2014;
Fernández-Llamazares & Cabeza, 2017; Sterling et al., 2017). Moreover, it is important that
revitalization efforts consider the gendered nature of knowledge and the crucial role of women in
knowledge transmission (Iniesta-Arandia et al., 2015; Díaz-Reviriego et al., 2016).
6.3.2.5 Improving financing for conservation and sustainable development
Financing is a critical determinant of the success or failure of conservation outcomes, as
acknowledged in the CBD and SDG which call for increased financing and aid, and Aichi Target
3, which calls for the promotion of positive incentives for the conservation and sustainable use of
biodiversity by 2020. These economic tools for biodiversity can include instruments such as
biodiversity-relevant taxes, charges and fees; tradable permit schemes; and subsidies that aim to
reflect the inherent values of biodiversity in their actual use, which have raised billions in recent
years (OECD, 2010b; OECD, 2013). Currently, finance mobilised to promote biodiversity has
been estimated at about US$ 52 billion globally (Parker et al., 2012; Miller, 2014), while
estimates of the financing necessary to reach international targets range from US$ 76-440 billion
per year (CBD, 2012; McCarthy et al., 2012). An estimated 80 percent of biodiversity
conservation funding across low- and middle-income countries is derived from international aid
(ODA), with the remaining 20 percent coming from domestic, private and other sources (Hein et
al., 2013; Waldron et al., 2013). Other forms of financing besides ODA include direct payments
to those who conserve biodiversity through various transfer mechanisms, including PES (see
section on Improving REDD+ and PES, above), eco-compensation policies, or ecological fiscal
transfers (see Supplementary Materials 6.2.4 for details on the latter two). Other financing
67
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
mechanisms can include tradable permits, in which markets, auctions or other schemes allow
those causing biodiversity loss or pollution to compensate their environmental impacts in other
locations (see Supplementary Materials 6.2.4).
Though uncertainty exists on overall funding levels (Tittensor et al., 2014), there is widespread
agreement that resources are well below needs (James et al., 1999; McCarthy et al., 2012;
Waldron et al., 2013) and have failed to meet donor commitments (Miller et al., 2013).
Developing country capacity to finance conservation and sustainable use is increasing (Vincent
et al., 2014), and initiatives such as the UNDP BIOFIN project (www.biodiversityfinance.net)
have assisted countries with identifying options, but ODA is likely to remain the major finance
source for now. Existing flows have generally been well-targeted to countries with greater
conservation need (Miller et al., 2013), but there is inconclusive evidence about whether these
resources have resulted in conservation success. New trust fund and collective fund approaches
have been used in recent projects, such as the Amazon Fund to combat deforestation in Brazil
(see Supplementary Materials 6.2.4). However, few if any peer-reviewed studies explicitly
examine the impact of specific biodiversity financing projects using robust program evaluation
methods. Bare et al. (2015) find higher rates of forest loss correlated with aid (concluding not
that aid caused loss, but that aid was insufficient to halt existing drivers), while Waldron et al.
(2017) found that conservation funding —much of it is ODA—did reduce biodiversity loss by an
average of 29%. There is a paucity of impact evaluations in the conservation sector that examine
socio-economic impacts of financing (Börner et al., 2016; Puri et al., 2016). Finally, there is a
major gap in assessing the long-term impacts of conservation aid (Miller et al., 2017) (see also
Supplementary Materials 6.2.4). All of these gaps suggest a strong need for better systems of
tracking and assessing the impacts of different types of financing; in other words, not just more
financing is needed, but better understanding of the mechanisms for success.

6.3.3 Integrated Approaches for Sustainable Marine and Coastal Governance
Marine and coastal areas, covering 70% of the Earth’s surface, include the High Seas or areas
beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ) which cover nearly half of the Earth’s surface (Harris &
Whiteway, 2009) and territorial waters from the baseline to national territorial limits. Adding
river catchments affecting coastal areas means that much of the Earth’s surface is directly
connected to marine and coastal biodiversity and ecosystem services. Policy instruments for
coastal biodiversity and ecosystem management span the scale of institutions from global and
intergovernmental to local communities, and concern many different sectoral, thematic and
cultural stakeholder and rights-holder groups. The United Nations Convention on the Law of the
Sea (UNCLOS) includes provisions for coastal States to exercise national jurisdictions within
200 nautical miles from the baseline and to meet responsibilities for their Flag vessels on the
High Seas.
Most Aichi Biodiversity Targets are relevant to marine and coastal biodiversity, but Targets 6, 7,
10, and 11 are explicit in their coverage of fisheries sustainability and ecosystem-based
management (Target 6), sustainable aquaculture (Target 7), and coral reefs subject to
anthropogenic pressures and impacted by climate change and ocean acidification (Target 10),
and protected areas (Target 11). The ambitious target dates of 2015 (Target 10) and 2020 (Target
6, 7 and 11) have not or will not be met globally by 2020. For the SDG, Goal 14 (life below
water) is most explicitly relevant to marine and coastal biodiversity, but most other Goals are
also relevant.
At the frontier between land and seas, coastal areas support dense human populations, are
undergoing rapid economic development and have been heavily transformed e.g., into cities,
ports, tourist facilities and aquatic farms, with profound consequences for biodiversity and
ecosystem services such as wildlife habitats and clean water. Downstream of terrestrial material
flows, deltas and estuary systems receive nutrient, sediment, sewage, waste and pollution loads
from distant regions. On land and sea margins, climate and other hazards are often more severe
than inland (United Nations World Ocean Assessment, 2017). Coastal rehabilitation offers some
opportunities to partially restore some ecosystem functions after their initial transformation or
destruction for human use.
Climate change and pollution caused by land and sea-based carbon emissions and waste disposal
are impacting the High Seas and coastal areas. Direct human exploitation of the High Seas is also
increasing from fishing, shipping, oil and gas extraction, seabed mining, ocean energy
production and aquaculture. Consequently, biodiversity conservation is a key issue in the High
Seas (World Ocean Assessment, 2017; Ingels et al., 2017). High Seas biodiversity is
experiencing predominantly negative impacts, e.g., Census of Marine Life (Ausabel et al., 2010),
including in the abundance and diversity of fauna and in the status of sensitive and unique
habitats such as seamounts (Koslow et al., 2017), hydro-thermal vents (LeBris et al., 2017) and
deep-sea corals (Cordes et al., 2017).
69
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
The use and management of coastal coastal and marine areas are divided among many individual
and corporate players whose activities impact the oceans. Unless action is based on sound shared
knowledge, the players may fail to act in the interests of conservation (World Ocean Assessment,
2017), e.g., when coastal reclamation projects proceed in ignorance of the potential destruction
of ecosystem services. In addition, the rights of different players may be unequal. For example,
IPLCs are often long-established inhabitants and users of the coastal environment, but their
access and ownership often are not secured against larger economic activities.
Following the Rio 1992 Earth Summit, conservation groups, governments and researchers
increased attention to fisheries and other coastal industries impacting biodiversity and ecosystem
services (Spalding et al., 2013; Garcia et al., 2014). Despite the raised awareness, action has been
slow. For example, despite the ocean’s importance in climate, oceans will be a major priority
only in the 6th assessment cycle of the IPCC, due for completion in 2022. After ten years of
discussion, in 2017, the UN General Assembly resolved (Resolution 72/249) to convene a
conference to develop an international legally binding instrument under UNCLOS in order to
address the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity of ABNJ and marine genetic
resources benefits sharing.
Governance of marine conservation still faces major challenges including a lack of proper
international and regional legal framework for emerging challenges such as the impact of climate
change on marine biodiversity. Another major problem is non-implementation of existing legal
instruments in international, regional and national levels. Cases that illustrate these problems
have been exposed in the IPBES regional assessments. For instance, the regional assessment for
Europe and Central Asia highlights that, although the Regional Seas Conventions are playing an
important role in joint management of marine areas, the performance is uneven and application
not consistent with modern conservation principles and capacity of the region (IPBES, 2018a).
The regional assessment for Asia and the Pacific highlights the absence of regional seas
conventions or other binding legal instruments for promoting regional joint governance of
marine areas (Chapter 6, pp. 520-525).
This section presents both short and long-term policy options contributing to integrated
approaches to marine and coastal governance. This ranges from identifying governance gaps,
including in legal frameworks, and conditions that may facilitate the implementation of available
policies in response to immediate needs (Table 6.4).

6.3.3.1 Global Marine and Coastal
Overarching global policies and processes, including and beyond climate change-related
agreements have had major impacts on action to protect marine and coastal biodiversity and
ecosystem services (Chapter 2.1 and 3). In the present section, we focus on key global
73
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
agreements that need to be integrated into policy for marine and coastal biodiversity and
ecosystem services.
6.3.3.1.1 Implementing global marine environment agreements for shipping
History shows that global agreements regarding shipping are challenging to negotiate, and, once
agreed and ratified, challenging to implement, and in motivating government, industry and
community stakeholders to act. The existing conventions and protocols on vessel-sourced
pollution, including exotic and potentially invasive species from ships’ hull fouling and ballast
water, are important examples as shipping grows (World Ocean Assessment 2017, Chapter 17).
Several international maritime agreements on the environment pre-dated UNCLOS, notably the
International Maritime Organization (IMO) International Convention for the Prevention of
Pollution from Ships, 1973 – MARPOL (Karim, 2015). UNCLOS was critical, however, as it
introduced the regulatory framework of duties and jurisdiction of states addressing the main
sources of ocean pollution, the success of which heavily depends on detailed regulations and
their enforcement by international, regional and national institutions. Despite wide convergence
of shipping issues and participation of most of the countries as well as the considerable success
of IMO Conventions, worldwide uniform enforcement, monitoring and control still need
development (Karim, 2015). Enforcement, monitoring and control relied greatly on flag state
enforcement (Mattson, 2006) but in addition, port-state enforcement is being applied in some
maritime agreements, such as the Food and Agriculture Organization Agreement on Port State
Measures to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing (2009).
This combined with new satellite and information technologies are being applied in efforts to
track compliance but enforcement is still weak (Petrossian, 2015). Enforcement and
implementation are lacking both within and beyond national jurisdiction (Karim, 2015, 2018),
but regional cooperative arrangements may improve regulatory capacity and should be further
strengthened. In addition, a coordinated and widespread initiative for capacity building to
strengthen understanding of and capacity for flag state responsibility in the global regulatory
apparatus is needed to combat pollution in the areas beyond national jurisdiction (World Ocean
Assessment, 2017).
6.3.3.1.2 Mainstreaming climate change adaptation and mitigation into marine and
coastal governance regimes
Coordinated measures are needed to combat climate-related stressors on marine biodiversity,
e.g., ocean acidification, ocean warming and deoxygenation (Bijma et al., 2013; Pörtner, 2014;
Levin et al., 2018), as these stressors have sectoral effects, such as on stable fisheries agreements
(Brandt & Kronbak, 2010; Galaz et al., 2012). In fact, the Paris Agreement is now the first
climate agreement to explicitly consider the ocean. International and regional legal instruments
and mechanisms for climate change, oceans, fisheries and the environment are relevant for these
challenges, but they remain inadequate (Galland et al., 2012; Herr et al., 2014; IPCC, 2017). At
the least, sectoral and general ocean governance will have to mainstream major climate issues in
74
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
governance regimes at international, regional and national levels. This mainstreaming will help
sectoral management adapt and mitigate emissions. If linked to climate actions, this may also
help reduce some of the knowledge gaps on climate and the ocean, and gaps between scientific
and government attention to climate change (Magnan et al., 2016; Gallo et al., 2017). Achieving
policy coherence over such complex issues also requires significant new knowledge on the
oceans and climate which can feed back into climate science. In the case of proposed climate
solutions such as geoengineering to capture carbon from the atmosphere, the IPCC warns that the
impacts on marine ecosystems “remain unresolved and are not, therefore, ready for near-term
application” (http://www.ipcc.ch/ipccreports/tar/wg3/index.php?idp=25).
Many impacts of global changes are highly unbalanced, because telecouplings affect people who
have not caused the problems. Sea level rise is eroding the living space of many marginal coastal
people in developing countries, e.g., on low-lying Pacific islands and coastal mangroves in Asia.
Funds set up to address these transfer issues, e.g., the Green Climate Fund and other multilateral
instruments will not have their intended effects unless greater priority is given to developing
countries (Friends of the Earth and Institute for Policy Studies, 2017), and these funds need to
specialize and cooperate effectively to provide coherent support (Amerasinghe et al., 2017).
6.3.3.1.3 Mobilising conservation funding for the oceans
According to some estimates, the oceans provide trillions of USD annually in goods and services
to society (Costanza et al., 1997). Policies and incentives towards the sustainable use of the
oceans - from controlling overfishing and pollution to promoting new technologies for energy
and carbon sequestration to incentives for sustainable tourism – have economic and social impact
across sectors of society and regions, benefiting private and public economies, and local
communities. However, innovative solutions are needed for improving financing for
conservation action for the ocean. Some estimates suggest that that market-based mechanisms
could, for example, deliver up to 50% of the finance for coral reefs (Parker et al., 2012),
including for instance cap-and-trade programs such as the Ocean Appreciation Program (Ocean
Recovery Alliance, 2016), green bonds (Thiele, 2015a), and blue carbon sequestration to benefit
biodiversity (Maldonado & Barrera, 2014; Murray et al., 2011; Thiele & Gerber, 2017). On the
High Seas, the financial mechanisms to support conservation are not well established and new
institutional financial structures, including financial solutions that allow for private funds to be
invested in conservation, such as from international markets, are increasingly recognized as
essential (Madsbjerg, 2016).
The majority of current biodiversity funding is from public finance (e.g., GEF) (Huwyler et al.
2014) and is affected by the short-term time horizons of political agendas and public opinions.
Following models used in climate (Buchner et al., 2015) and development finance (Gutmann &
Davidson, 2007), growing attention is given to the potential use of market-based mechanisms
used in terrestrial systems for the High Seas, such as payments for ecosystem services and
biodiversity offsets (Gjertsen et al., 2014).
75
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
Clean, renewable ocean-derived energy has the potential to reduce carbon emissions and meet 10
percent of EU demand by 2050 (Ocean Energy Europe, 2015). Technologies of this magnitude,
however, are impeded by high initial investments and risks. These barriers may be overcome
through public-private collaboration and require careful planning and environmental impact
assessment (Economist Intelligence Unit 2015). There is potential for increased research and
infrastructure support for wave and tidal energy technology, which have been slow in terms of
technological advancements (REN21, 2018; Bruckner et al., 2014).
A portion of the profits from ocean-based goods and services could be directed into conservation
research, monitoring, and enforcement. For example, ocean tourism, managed with respect for,
with and by local communities, can yield successful results if earning from tourism are funneled
into supporting sustainable management (Cisneros-Montemayor et al., 2013; Hess, 2015); and
appropriate incentives in fishing could help change current practices such as derelict gear that
threaten habitats and natural capital stocks (Grafton et al., 2006; Grafton et al., 2008).
Global cooperation is needed to develop innovative mechanisms to conserve the ocean, just as
global collaboration is needed to address air quality and atmospheric emissions. Ocean
conservation projects may be funded by a proposed Ocean Bank for Sustainability and
Development and trust funds. The Ocean Bank concept has been supported by several NGOs that
argue current development banks and structures are not sufficient for the largest ecosystem
(WWF, 2015). Proponents envision that this new institution arrangement could be funded by
states and private investors, providing knowledge, project development, training, and financing
(Cicin et al., 2016). Trust funds can offer long-term financial assistance and have already been
applied to marine conservation management (MAR Fund, 2014; MRAG, 2016), e.g., a fund for a
protected area in Kiribati compensates the government for license profits forgone (MRAG,
2016).
In the last 20 years, conservation organisations - international, national and local – e.g., IUCN,
WWF, CI, TNC, WCS and their local chapters - have developed major coastal conservation
programs, supported by funding from (mainly) US based philanthropic foundations (Packard,
Walton, Pew, etc) and often giving particular attention to charismatic ecosystems, e.g., coral
reefs, and mega-fauna, e.g., whale shark, cetaceans and other marine mammals, and penguins.
However, as the foundations turn more to Blue Economy issues such as fishing and food
security, their future efforts may not be so focused on biodiversity conservation, calling attention
to the importance of diversifying funding mechanisms supporting marine and ocean conservation
and sustainable use.
6.3.3.2 International waters: High Seas (ABNJ) and regional waters
Significant areas of the ocean are outside settled national jurisdictions, although certain activities
may be under the controls of regional bodies or of global agreements. Some disputes over precise
jurisdictions remain. A few countries, including the USA, have not signed the United Nations
Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), but largely abide by its provisions. The High
76
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
Seas sustain global-scale ecosystem functions and provide essential beneftis to humans (Rogers
et al., 2014) but are subject to three increasing trends (World Ocean Assessment, 2017). First,
human needs are increasingly met from the ocean, some directly, e.g., food from fisheries,
aquaculture and ranching (Ferreria et al., 2017; APEC, 2016), and some indirectly, e.g., greater
shipping of commodities in an increasingly globalized world (Simcock & Tamara, 2017;
Simcock, 2017). Second, direct drivers affecting the High Seas are expected to increase,
including fishing, aquaculture, mining, energy and defence activities, sound pollution from
transportation, and chemical and biological pollution from increased use of the sea and coastal
living. Third, as efforts to increase the sustainability of ocean uses within national jurisdiction
increase (FAO, 2016; CBD, 2017), some of the effort is moving offshore (Merrie et al., 2014;
Gjerde et al., 2013). These three trends have major impacts on nature and its contributions to
people, including the challenge of managing rapidly emerging industries such as mining,
undersea communications and energy. Improving shared governance, mainstreaming nature, and
a new High Seas convention are proposed as options.

institutions. Source: UNEP-WCMC (2017).
6.3.3.2.1 Improving shared governance
Supporting and expanding existing conservation cooperation mechanisms represent a promising
short-term option for protecting High Seas biodiversity. Some of these institutions are expanding
their initiatives into areas beyond national jurisdiction, e.g., through fisheries observer programs,
anti-IUU (illegal, unreported and unregulated) fishing measures. Regional organisations,
particularly, the Regional Seas Programmes, Regional Fisheries Management Bodies and their
conventions, and GEF Large Marine Ecosystems (LME) programmes can also play an important
role in combating land-based marine pollution.
A common first step in establishing international coastal cooperation is a transboundary
programme of technical cooperation, such as the Regional Seas Programmes and Conventions
and the GEF initiated LME projects. Many of these programmes have helped create effective
environment agreements among countries.
Territorial disputes may impede conservation, to the extent that in contentious areas, multilateral
cooperation has been limited to technical cooperation among a subset of countries rather than
active management (Williams, 2013). Where maritime territory disputes remain, countries are
urged to settle these through the UNCLOS legal routes. UNCLOS offers four options for dispute
settlement and by finding the means that best suits, states have settled many disputes. However,
instances where some of the large powers have opted not to resort to UNCLOS dispute
settlement system may jeopardize the effectiveness of the forum (Klein, 2014; Gates, 2017).
“Ocean grabbing” is a term used to describe an emerging concern over the dispossession or
appropriation of ocean space or resources from prior users, rights holders or inhabitants resulting
from governance processes with power asymmetries among participants. More broadly, the issue
of accumulation by dispossession is both an issue that can impede conservation and be used by
conservation interests to obain a foothold over community lands (Harvey, 2003; Hall, 2013;
Benjaminsen & Bryceson, 2012). If the needs of local communities and ecosystems are not fully
taken into account, allocation of access rights to ocean space or resources may undermine human
security and impair biodiversity components. Conservation allocations such as marine protected
areas, and rights-based approaches such as individual fisheries quotas may be conducted in ways
that do not undermine human security and ecological functions (Bennett et al., 2015).
Thinning and disappearing sea ice, melting permafrost, and circumpolar climate change,
however locally and regionally varied, are commonly identified as playing their part in rapidly
unsettling the geographies of Arctic governance (Overland & Wang, 2013; Smith & Stephenson,
79
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
2013; Hussey et al., 2016; Stephenson, 2018). Strategies are being sought that will promote
renewed international cooperation and reduce the risks of discord in the Arctic, as the region
undergoes new jurisdictional conflicts and increasingly severe clashes over the extraction of
natural resources in a region that is critical to the prevision of globally important NCPs
(Berkman & Young, 2009; Young, 2010; Keil, 2015; Hussey et al., 2016; Harris et al., 2018).
Several organizations have advocated for the negotiation of a harder law regime for the Arctic
(Kankaanpää & Young, 2012), including firmer institutional, financial and regulatory
foundations for the Arctic Council (Berkman & Young, 2006) and improved transboundary
conservation planning (Greenpeace, 2014; Hussey et al., 2016; Edwards & Evans, 2017; Harris
et al., 2018).
6.3.3.2.2 Mainstreaming nature and its contributions to people
Recognising the rising pressures on biodiversity on the High Seas, most sectoral regulatory
agencies are recognizing the need to mainstream biodiversity conservation into their approaches
to policy and management (CBD, 2016). Responding to growing public pressure from NGOs and
international agencies, measures are being introduced. For instance, Regional Fisheries
Management Organisations (RFMOs) are implementing UNGA Resolution 61/105 to protect
deep sea Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs) from bottom trawling (Rice et al., 2017).
Similarly, sectoral agencies such as the International Seabed Authority for deep-sea mining
(Anton, 2011) and International Maritime Organisation for shipping are adopting, or urged to,
additional policies and measures to manage and mitigate the pressures of these sectors on High
Seas biodiversity and their habitats.
The effectiveness of conservation policies for the High Seas depend crucially on how well they
are implemented, a challenge that sectoral regulatory agencies have been grappling with for
decades. In some areas, there is a need for substantive scaling up resources and prioritizing areas
of rising pressure, e.g., for tuna fisheries (Juan-Jorda et al., 2017). A major obstacle is the lack of
priority that coutries give to international arrangements for nature conservation. The latter
highlight the role of regional management bodies and their secretariats in mobilizing action, and
that of NGOs that advocate action through campaigns engaging public attention and presenting
submissions to management bodies.
The experience of RFMOs in protecting VMEs from deep sea fishing shows that a strong science
foundation is crucial as the knowledge basis (MacDonald et al., 2016), in addition to guidance on
suitable conservation management measures (FAO, 2009). As little of the seabed is mapped,
however, the knowledge base is generally poor. Protection is still feasible using responsive
mechanisms based on existing knowledge, e.g., real-time move-on (cease-fishing) rules triggered
when the presence of a VME is identified through bycatch indicator taxa; and great progress on
identifying VMEs and Ecologically and Biologically Significant Marine Areas, even with
incomplete information (Dunn et al., 2014).
For RFMOs and other sectoral agencies, member States need to provide costly surveillance and
enforcement (Rice et al., 2014). These functions present a greater challenge on the High Seas
80
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
than within national jurisdictions, but additional policy interventions have enhanced the
effectiveness of existing policies, e.g., the FAO Port State Measures Agreement (2009, in force
2016) increased the effectiveness of other measures to deter IUU fishing (FAO, 2017). Sectoral
management agencies, including fisheries, and NGOs such as Global Fishing Watch, are now
testing new technologies such as satellite monitoring of electronic fisheries operations, onboard
CCTV monitoring of catch and bycatch, and real-time data entry (Hosken et al., 2016). These
technologies can lead to better monitoring, control and surveillance.
Greater efforts are needed to achieve coherence between the efforts of sectoral management
agencies and the efforts of biodiversity conservation agencies, including those led by
intergovernmental organizations such as the CBD, e.g., program for identifying Ecologically or
Biologically Significant Areas (EBSAs – Johnson et al., 2018), and by NGOs, e.g., Birdlife
International. In fisheries, poor coherence leads to low returns on conservation and management
investments (Garcia et al., 2014a). The obstacles to improving coherence are high because it
requires governance processes with convening power to bring the agencies together, the duty to
cooperate both in selecting policies and measures that work synergistically and implementation
strategies that encourage cooperation (Garcia at al., 2014b).
6.3.3.2.3 Pathways to protect nature in the High Seas
The need for coherence poses the greatest challenge, and greatest opportunity, for changing the
trends of loss in High Seas biodiversity. The limitations of UNCLOS to deal effectively with
nature conservation in the High Seas biodiversity was recognized over a decade ago. Open
Ended Working Groups of the UNGA
(http://www.un.org/depts/los/biodiversityworkinggroup/biodiversityworkinggroup.htm)
prioritized three themes: the ability to apply spatial management tools, including High Seas
Marine Protected Areas (MPA) binding on all marine industry sectors; marine spatial planning
across sectoral agencies; access and benefits sharing to marine genetic resources; environment
impact assessment, technology transfer and capacity building.
UNGA has initiated in 2017 an intergovernmental conference on an international legally binding
instrument under UNCLOS on the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological
diversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction (General Assembly Resolution 72/249); with
expected conclusion in 2020. These negotiations will be a major factor in the future trajectories
of High Seas biodiversity. An eventual future instrument is likely to include provisions for areabased management including MPA, environmental impact assessment and marine genetic
resources. National government are encouraged to support the timely agreement of an effective
instrument for marine protection and then implement the provisions with regard to key sectors,
e.g., fishing, seabed mining, coastal oil and gas, geoengineering and waste disposal.
6.3.3.3 Coastal Waters
National governments play a major role in determining the balance of coastal protection and
resource use, and global codes and conventions can help promote national action, e.g., SDG 14
81
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
(life below water). Governments face the challenges of harmonising and coordinating
responsible agencies and interests, setting national policies and priorities, coordinating and
integrating planning, resourcing, implementing, monitoring and reporting. Locally led initiatives
can also feed up into national policies (see 6.3.3.3.3).
6.3.3.3.1 Promoting integrated management
Since the 1980s integrated coastal environment management concepts have been a focus of
academic attention (Merrie & Olsson, 2014). Conservation, international and national
organisations also have promoted, developed and piloted several related forms of integrated
marine and coastal management, especially Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) and
Sustainable Development in Coastal Areas (ICM/SDCA - http://www.pemsea.org/ourwork/integrated-coastal-management/SDCA-framework), MPA, Marine Spatial Planning (MSP)
(Ehler & Douvere, 2009) and Ecosystem Based Management (EBM) (Agardy et al., 2011). MSP
and MPA illustrate the challenges.
MPA have been applied most commonly to fisheries and special area conservation. Their
effectiveness depends on the economic conditions, governance and institutional contexts in
which in which they are applied (Agardy et al., 2011; Ban et al., 2013; IPBES, 2018c), their
location (Mouillot et al., 2015), and local livelihood activities that are displaced by the MPA
must be addressed (Cudney-Bueno et al., 2009; Bennett & Dearden, 2014; IPBES, 2018d).
Conversely, when MPA management incorporates biophysical, economic, and social
characteristics of the system, more sustainable fishing practices may result (Cinti et al., 2010;
Sciberras et al., 2015; Gill et al., 2017).
MPA and systems of interconnected MPA offer conservation management options for both the
short and long term, for governments, private, NGO, and IPLC actors. The social and economic
benefits of MPA can improve community well-being via increased income from fisheries or
tourism (McCook et al., 2010), and IPLCs can engage in stakeholder processes so that MPA
benefit both people and nature (Bennett & Deardan, 2014). The private sector can contribute
innovative financing for implementing and enforcing MPA (Theile & Gerber, 2017). Rightsbased approaches to MPA management and ocean governance offer a promising option to
strengthen MPA and MPA Networks implementation (Bender, 2018). NGOs have an important
role to play in implementing MPA, through assisting community engagement and capacity
building, monitoring and evaluation, and developing and implementing economic incentives to
support MPA (Mascia et al., 2009).
Marine spatial planning (MSP) is a comprehensive “public process of analyzing and allocating
the spatial and temporal distribution of human activities in marine areas to achieve ecological,
economic, and social objective that are usually specified through a political process.” (IOCUNESCO Marine Spatial Planning Programme - http://msp.ioc-unesco.org/). It evolved together
with MPA developments (Katsanevakis et al., 2011), bringing together multiple users of the
82
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
ocean – energy, industry, government, conservation and recreation. Not an end in itself, intent of
MSP is a coordinated and sustainable approach to ocean use. Policy-relevant guidebooks have
been developed to support implementation (e.g., Ehler & Douve, 2009). Despite good pilot cases
and some success, a 2012 review concluded that: “Comprehensive MSP initiatives are relatively
new and thus largely untested. In those that are underway, there appears to be greater emphasis
on planning than on post-plan implementation” (Secretariat for the CBD and GEF, 2012, p.32).
Furthermore, the requirements of cross-sectoral decision-making can be seen by line ministries
as onerous and undesirable (Secretariat for the CBD and GEF 2012), although this is clearly very
important in implementing the mainstreaming requirements of the CBD. A further challenge is
that the adaptable nature of MSP must continually maintain a balance of ecosystem conservation
and economic and social aims (Merrie & Olsson, 2014), making frequent updates and adaptive
responses necessary. National capacity to implement integrated environmental stewardship can
be affected also by the relative powers of the ministries. In some governments, environment
ministries are newer and weaker compared to economic and central ministries (Jordan et al.,
2010).
Overall, the obstacles to implementation, longer time frame for success, complexity of the
integrated solutions, and need to be responsive to changing externalities (e.g., climate change,
new trade agreements, changing markets for traditional products, etc) all mandate that
governance arrangements focus also on shorter term responsive action, including sectoral in
cases, to address the most immediate problems in a step by step approach. Nevertheless, sectoral
or local actions need to be nested with higher level institutions adjudicating on cross-sectoral
trade-offs resulting from specific actions, such as those competing for coastal space: ports, urban
development, fisheries, tourism, and conservation.
Integrated management at the national and local levels: National governments, pivotal to
integrating management across scales and to negotiate international and regional agreements.
Typically, an international agreement is the catalyst for national action, however avoiding
piecemeal solutions is difficult since local and national levels actors are continuously
responding to accelerate social and environmental changes. On the other hand, localized
solutions can be effective. For instance, while a global instrument against plastic pollution will
take time, national and sub-national actions are contributing to address the problem (Niaounakis
2017). National and state governments, for instance, can impose restrictions on the sale and use
of single-use plastic bags, for instance as did Chile in 2017 in restricting such items particularly
in coastal villages and towns.
Decentralizing policies to sub-national and local governance have a direct impact on the type of
coastal and marine management. In the last three decades, coastal and marine management has
been affected by the opportunities and challenges caused by national re-organisations associated
with the devolution and decentralisation of government powers to state, province or local
government and community levels, requiring rapid capacity building at sub-national levels. In
Southeast Asia (e.g., Indonesia, Philippines and Vietnam) devolution models were embraced
with varying results. Indonesia has received major World Bank development and conservation
support for community and local government-based empowerment, and the local outcomes
83
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
covered the spectrum from responsible leadership, to elite capture, patronage networks, and
outright corruption (Warren & Visser, 2016). Another example of diverse outcomes of local
level management is the coastal cities in the Great Buenos Aires conurbation (Argentina),
comprising ten different jurisdictions at national, provincial and municipal government level.
Responding to local politics and globalization pressures on competitive industries, decades of
decentralization or federation efforts were resolved essentially in favour of decentralisation
rather than metropolitan integration(Dadon & Oldani, 2017).
Successful short and medium-term sub-national interventions can include small scale actions and
projects at sectoral or cross-sectoral level, as for this scale, sectoral boundaries may not be so
rigidly delineated. Technical projects, research institutes (as entry points for diagnosis, finding
solutions, monitoring status) and community, including youth, engagement, are critical elements
to the success of grassroots conservation.
Indigneous Peoples and Local Communities are central to sub-national marine conservation
action but vary significantly in terms of their capacities and needs to manage marine resources
under different types of pressures. Across the world, the position and contribution of IPLCs to
coastal management vary significantly from areas where communities retain full control to
various types of mixed arrangements, to complete deprivation of rights. Evidence demonstrates
that local customary institutions can be more effective than formal external ones in promoting
management. In Indonesia, continuous traditional marine management such as sasi laut and
pangalima laut were more potent and likely to be obeyed than more modern proclamations, e.g.,
of Marine Protected Areas (Harkes & Novaczek, 2002; Wiadnya et al., 2011). In Sumatra with
well-conceived external support, even cases of corrupt devolved authority could be turned
around into local community advantage (Warren & Visser, 2016).
6.3.3.3.2 Mainstreaming nature conservation in sectoral management, with an emphasis
on fisheries
National resource managers of coastal waters, private sector enterprises, citizens and consumers
can all play a role to help prevent environmental damage, including by protecting vulnerable
areas, changing damaging manufacturing practices, sensitive land development, waste disposal
and consumption patterns. Collectively, these mainstreaming approaches are now being referred
to as ecosystem-based approaches to management within specific sectors. Sectoral activities and
policy often determine the conservation approaches but focus on components of nature most
closely linked to their sectoral activities. For example, fisheries experts have been early to
diagnose environmental problems such as fish stock overexploitation and bycatch, but less likely
to focus on a seabird colony finding insufficient food because of a fishery harvest. Effective
governance is needed to ensure sectors do not prioritize resource uses to a level that risks
unsustainable practices.
In addition to risk of overharvesting, the IPBES regional assessments for Africa, the Americas,
Asia and Pacific, Europe and Central Asia found that fisheries conservation is threatened also by
84
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
other external threats, including many types of pollution, habitat destruction for industries and
human living space, invasive alien species from sources including ballast water introductions,
nutrient driven hypoxia, jelly-fish blooms, and climate change. These problems call for the joint
effort of governance institutions from local, to national, and regional, and even global.
Managing the impacts of fishing and fish supply chains to conserve the target stocks and the
environment has become a recognized environment priority, e.g., SDG target 14.4 and Aichi
target 6. One-third of marine fish stocks (including invertebrates) are fished at biologically
unsustainable levels, 60% at sustainable levels, and 7% underfished (FAO, 2018a). However,
many marine fish stocks are of unknown status, suggesting that estimates about sustainable
fisheries management may be over-optimistic (FAO, 2018a). Positively, there is evidence that
stock rebuilding is occurring in countries including USA, Australia, Namibia, Canada, and the
European Union (FAO, 2018a). However, evidence on ending overfishing and rebuilding
depleted stocks suggests that the successful recovery of depleted marine resources depends
possibly more on management of infrastructure and socio-economic contexts than on having
accurate stock assessments alone, especially if management measures that are suited to data-poor
fish stocks are used (e.g. IPBES, 2018c; Brodziak et al., 2008; Rosenberg et al., 2006; Caddy &
Agnew, 2004; Garcia et al., 2018).
Despite evidence for the need to address overexploitation from fishing, many countries and
RFMOs have not fully implemented the extensive international legal framework, including both
hard and soft law instrument, referred to as the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries and
its instruments (FAO, 2012). The World Ocean Assessment (United Nations, 2017) proposed the
following options: ending overfishing and rebuilding depleted stocks; eliminating IUU fishing;
reducing the broader ecosystem impacts of fishing including habitat modification and effects on
the food web; reducing the adverse impacts of pollution; and reducing the adverse impacts of
perverse subsidies.
A major challenge is that the options are highly context specific and need to be purpose built,
albeit lessons can be learned from practice elsewhere and locally specific solutions involve
opportunities for co-management. Developed countries may use complex, data rich ecologicaleconomic models (Nielsen et al., 2018), but the models, management institutions and methods,
e.g., catch shares, individual transferable quotas (ITQs), may not suit developing country and
small-scale fisheries. Specific cultural and ecological contexts are important for successful
community-based fisheries management, making any model hard to upscale (Poepoe et al.,
2007), although local leaders, social capital and incentives were found to be important (Gutiérrez
et al., 2011).
Communities making a living from small-scale fishing and coastal resources have often been
ignored in national and international policy, despite their strong dependency on the resources
(García-Quijano et al., 2015). Furthermore, assessments, including the present one, generally
neglect to consider women's role in this sector and thereby ignore major unrecorded fish catches
(Gopal et al., 2017). As well as women, policies need to consider the rights and concerns of
85
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
Indigenous Peoples with respect to livelihoods, equity and rights, participating and contributing
knowledge to fisheries and coastal ecosystem management (Capistrano & Charles, 2012; Fisher
et al., 2015). The 2015 Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in
the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (SSF-VG) were developed to overcome
the neglect of local communities, indigenous and non-indigenous. Countries are encouraged to
implement the SSF-VG, which incorporates comprehensive environmental as well as human
rights and equity principles.
“Balanced harvest” (Garcia et al., 2016) has been debated as a possible approch to increase food
from the sea while maintaining sustainable fisheries but evidence on its effectiveness is lacking
as it has not yet been implemented.
To address sustainability through eliminating IUU fishing, countries and Regional Fishery
Bodies should not only exercise effective fisheries management, but also implement strong
surveillance capacities, e.g., Petrossian, 2015, (see 6.3.3.2.1 and 6.3.3.1.1) and adequately invest
in research and technical capacity, for instance improving recognition of illegal landing species
and sizes (e.g., Romeo et al., 2014).
Customized options to reduce and eliminate bycatch and discards are essential to minimize
ecosystem impacts of fishing (Hall et al., 2017; Gladics et al., 2017; Gilman et al., 2016, Little et
al., 2015; Broadhurst et al., 2012). National measures to reduce the direct impacts of fishing on
marine mammals, sea turtles and seabirds have proven successful (Grafton et al., 2010). In
fisheries for migratory species and in remote ocean areas like those in the Southern Ocean,
international inter-organizational collaboration is needed (Osterblom & Bodin, 2012). In addition
to managing bycatch and discards, reducing the broader ecosystem impacts of fishing depends on
establishing new and implementing current MPA, and restoring critically endangered ecosystems
(e.g., Kennelly & Broadhurst, 2002; Fourzai et al., 2012). Adoption of the ecosystem approach to
fisheries across countries has, according to FAO, been slow but has consistently moved forward
(FAO, 2018b).
Fishery subsidy reforms, which includes elimination of harmful subsidies, decoupling subsidies
from fishing effort, re-orienting subsidies to management and technological improvements,
conditioning subsidies on fishery performance, and substitution of ongoing subsides for buyback
schemes (Cisneros-Montemayor, 2016; Tipping, 2016) are innovative attempts to redress current
failures in the interest of resource protection and sustainability.
Seafood certification and ecolabelling are economic instruments designed to change consumer
seafood demand for well-defined target species or fisheries whose sustainability is under threat,
direct them to better environmental choices, create market access, and provide incentives to
improve fishing practices through price premiums to producers (FAO 2018b). The uptake of
these schemes has been much greater in developed countries and is considered to have had the
most important non-State positive impact on fisheries sustainability, but more efforts are needed
to increase its uptake and the lower barriers to entry for developing country and small-scale
fisheries (Gutierriz et al., 2016; FAO, 2018b). In view of the diversity of ecolabelling and
86
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
certification schemes have developed, for which FAO has established a Global Benchmark Tool.
To date, only three fisheries and one aquaculture scheme have been benchmarked. Several
schemes are now addressing social standards but as yet these lack agreed performance norms
(FAO, 2018b). As precursors to certification, fisheries improvement programs (FIPs) are
important stepping stones towards sustainability (https://fisheryprogress.org/).
Certification and ecolabelling have had a major positive impact on improving fisheries
sustainability and, for developed counties, may be the most important recent non-government
fisheries management initiative. Evidence shows that support of governments and other fisheries
actors are essential for fisheries certification (Gutierrez et al., 2016). Controversy over certificate
standards and questions over accountability for the certification machinery and decisions have
arisen (Miller & Bush, 2015; Gulbrandson & Auld, 2016). In addition, certification has had only
modest success so far in including developing countries and small-scale fishers and producers. A
further challenge is that only some consumers are yet willing to pay more for certified seafood
(FAO, 2018b).
6.3.3.3.3 Scaling up from sub-national project pilots
National agencies, including government science and management agencies, play key roles
identifying, diagnosing, researching and developing technical projects and pilots on marine
biodiversity conservation, often following specific sub-national cases, such as Australian efforts
to sustainably manage competing uses of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park (Merrie & Olsson
(2014).
Scaling up is the challenge for sub-national initiatives. In Asia, the PEMSEA partnership has
demonstrated the feasibility of building on small scale local success. For example, in Batangas,
Philippines, efforts spread from five local authorities to 34, covering the watershed and coastal
areas of the whole province (http://www.pemsea.org/our-work/integrated-coastalmanagement/ICM-sites). By 2021, ICM is expected to reach 25% of the East Asia region’s
coastline using the PEMSEA model that has performed well in East Asia, as national
governments collaborate towards a regional strategy. The work starts at the local government
level, rather than relying on national policy to initiate action. Like other integrated approached,
ICM relies on networks of experts reaching out to interested local actors, having also attracted
attention from international donors.
Successful examples of local governance, albeit with external support in most cases, are
described in the IPBES regional assessments. For instance, since 2005 in the Pacific region,
locally managed marine areas have grown in number; in Madagascar, the NGO Blue Ventures is
piloting payment schemes for blue carbon; and in West Africa, mangrove conservation has
progressed in a six-country development project with local partners.
6.3.3.3.4 Building ecological functionality into coastal infrastructure
87
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
Given the inevitability of future coastal infrastructure development, it is vital that decision
makers consider the ecological functions of coastal ecosystems from the start (Daffron et al.,
2015). Altered and damaged ecosystems are difficult to restore or rehabilitate, or not politically
or economically feasible. Maintaining and managing natural system by removing stressors such
as pollutants may be a fraction of the costs of restoration (Elliot et al. 2007). In some cases,
however, created ecosystems may even be culturally preferred. With the rapid increase in created
coastlines, especially around urban areas, ecosystem rehabilitation, increasing attention has been
paid to remediation and multi-purposing coastal structures such as breakwaters and marinas.
6.3.3.3.5 Engaging NGOs, industry and scientists as stakeholders to achieve common
ecological and social good outcomes
Across countries, interpretations and awareness of the importance of conserving nature and its
contributions to people in the oceans are diverse and dynamic, although a growing degree of
convergence is emerging as a result of local social movements, global environment conventions
and agreements, scientific efforts, and environmental advocacy. New national and local
environmental NGO are emerging, creating greater and more distributed demands for
conservation action. For instance, large international NGO have set up national branches and
joint ventures in many countries, bringing their own concepts and values and adapting them to
local circumstances and channels of influence. Although the translations do not always work,
with time and experience, the short-term actions can mature to more appropriate forms for local
ecosystems and species, values and knowledge, e.g., national versions of seafood consumption
guides.
Powerful industry players may obstruct and even capture the political processes, e.g., port
infrastructure, shipping, industrial fishing, tourism and real estate (Jenkins & Schröder, 2013;
Bavinck et al., 2017), but industry actors are also highly relevant to finding solutions. Options to
involve private interests include corporate social responsibility, market-based instruments such
as certification (e.g., seafood certification, 6.3.3.3.2) and best practice in fisheries and
aquaculture production methods (Jenkins & Schröder, 2013). In the case of coastal hypoxia
caused by nutrient loading, more attention is needed to to engage sectors responsible for the
largest point-source nutrient emissions (farmers, intensive livestock producers, agricultural
chemical and fertilizers companies) in policy decision-making, remedial action, educational
programmes and training sessions (STAP, 2011).
Marine assessment processes provide opportunities for management agencies, research institutes,
NGO and other citizen groups to assess and report the status of nature and its contributions to
people, to identify issues and suggest solutions. International collaboration on assessments and
standards can enable national status reports to be shared and information to be aggregated and
compared regionally and globally. In addition to international government organization
assessments, such as the World Ocean Assessment, NGO and privately funded systems can
88

contribute to collaborative efforts such as the Ocean Health Index
(http://www.oceanhealthindex.org/).
89
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
6.3.4 Integrated Approaches for Sustainable Freshwater
Freshwater ecosystems include rivers, lakes, reservoirs, wetlands and groundwater systems. The
options for decision makers discussed under this section are based on SDG6 (clean water and
sanitation) and several Aichi Biodiversity Targets (ABTs). Population growth, climate change,
increasing demand for water, institutional policies, and land-use change - all interact to
determine available water supply and use (Liu et al. 2013). Short and long-term options to
manage water need integrated and adaptive governance that reduce pressures on water,
encourage nature-based solutions and green infrastructure, and promote integrated water
resource management as well as considerations of water-energy-food nexus (WWAP/UN-Water,
2018). Adaptive measures include rainwater harvesting, improved pasture management, water
reuse, desalinations and more efficient management of soil and irrigation water, among others
(Jiménez et al., 2014). Inclusive and informed approaches to water governance open up
opportunities for stakeholders with diverse interests to be involved in making decisions that are
integrated, adaptive, resilient, innovative and responsive (WWAP, 2018; Ison & Wallis, 2017;
Razzaque, 2009; Pahl-Wostl, 2007). Transformational change requires a move away from the
business as usual approach and puts emphasis on the recognition and integration of multiple
values, including intrinsic and relational values, in water management (WWAP/UN-Water,
2018; Bartel et al., 2018).
The complexity of water resources is reflected in its status as an economic good as well as a
public good (CESCR, 2003; Griffin et al., 2013; Whittington et al., 2013). It is well established
that challenges to water management are aggravated as there are ambiguities in relation to the
status and scope of legal rights governing access to water (McCaffrey, 2016; Murthy, 2013). It is
critical to understand the combination of options and instruments that can be designed to meet
policy objectives and allocations arrangements (WWAP, 2015; OECD, 2015). In the short-term,
a clear legal status needs to be in place for all types of water, such as surface water, groundwater
and wastewater along with a clear indication of the ownership and user rights and polluter duties.
Such a legal regime will enable the responsible authority/ies to determine the level of access to
be given to various users, monitor the losses in water distribution, impose sanctions such as fines
or penalties, and determine the response measures in cases of exceptional circumstance, such as
drought and severe pollution (Ring et al., 2018; Acosta et al., 2018; Stringer et al., 2018; Scarano
et al., 2018; WWAP, 2015).
In many countries, environmental flow allocations continue to be used as a surrogate for the
protection of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities’ interests in water management (e.g.,
NWI, 2004; DoW, 2006), with little or no consideration for IPLC customary rights of freshwater
resources in water allocation decisions (Finn & Jackson, 2011; Bark et al., 2012; Jiménez et al.,
2015). Low representation of IPLCs in water resource decision-making has often led to conflicts
and disagreements over values and management priorities, which have often been aggravated by
clashes between market-based instruments and local customary rights (Boelens & Doornbos,
2001; Boelens & Hoogendam, 2001; Trawick, 2003; Jiménez et al., 2015) (Also see
Supplementary Materials 6.3).
This section presents both short and long-term oprtions for decision makers that contribute to
integrated approaches to freshwater governance (Table 6.5).

6.3.4.1 Improving water quality
Setting clear water quality standards: Improved water quality standards are essential to protect
both nature and human health, by eliminating, minimizing and significantly reducing different
streams of pollution into water bodies (SDG6) including river basins (Figure 6.4). Command and
control regulations such as end-of-pipe control, quality standards and discharge permits have a
significant role to play to reduce point source pollution (e.g., wastewater from households,
commercial establishments and industries) (Kubota & Yoshiteru, 2010; UNEP, 2016; OECD,
2017; WWAP, 2017; WWAP, 2012). A strong and transparent implementing authority with
necessary technical and managerial capacity as well as provisions on access to information that
benefits implementation and enforcement processes would benefit such regulatory measure (UNWater 2015b). In addition, mitigation of the impacts of pollution from non-point or diffuse
sources (e.g., run-off from urban and agricultural land) requires ecological responses, and
education and awareness programmes (OECD, 2017). A basin wide programme can play a
positive role in reducing run-off from agriculture (UNEP 2016; GEO6 Freshwater). Moreover,
nature based measures on water purification, soil erosion, urban stromwater run-off, floodcontrol
can effectively promote green infrastructure (WWAP/UN Water 2018; Also see section 6.3.5.3).

Water quality risk indices for major river basins during the base period (2000–2005) compared to
2050 (Veolia/IFPRI 2015, fig.3, p.9)
Collaborative initiatives: The countries with shared water may develop and enforce water
quality standards through international or inter-state agreements (GEO-6 Freshwater, 2017).
Agreements managing transboundary water can identify highly contaminated sites, develop and
implement remedial action and monitoring, and contribute to measurable improvements in the
water quality (GEO-6, Freshwater; UNEP, 2016). Well-defined and collaborative international
commissions (e.g., Rhine Action programme) or national institutions (e.g., London River Action
Plan, 2009) can reduce fragmentation of water management and provide a valuable platform for
all relevant actors within the river basin (UNEP, 2016). Such international (e.g., Danube river,
Black Sea) and national as well as local collaboration (e.g., ‘River Chief’ system in China, Wang
et al., 2017) to set water quality standards can help ensure that financial resources are spent in
the most effective way (UNEP, 2016; WWAP, 2017).
95
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
IPLC monitoring: The intimate connection that IPLC maintain with their freshwater bodies,
through intergenerational transmission of knowledge and practices, puts them in a privileged
position to closely monitor water quality (Sardarli, 2013; Bradford et al., 2017; see chapter 2.2).
In many IPLC worldviews, water is a spiritual resource (e.g., the lifeblood of Mother Earth) that
must be respected and kept clean (Mascarenhas, 2007; Collings, 2012; Basdeo & Bharadwaj,
2013; Weir et al., 2013; Morrison et al., 2015). Given that pollution poses important threats to
many IPLC livelihoods and cultures (e.g., Orta-Martínez et al., 2007, 2017; Kelly et al., 2010;
Harper et al., 2011; Huseman & Short ,2012; Nilsson et al., 2013; Jiménez et al., 2015; Bradford
et al., 2017) different IPLC groups are engaging, or even initiating community-based monitoring
of freshwater quality (Deutsch et al., 2001; Benyei et al., 2017), although evidence on the
effectiveness of these initiatives is still largely lacking.
Technological advances: Options targeting the treatment of wastewater and water reuse include
pollution prevention at the source (e.g., industries, agriculture), treatment of polluted water, safe
reuse of wastewater, and the restoration and protection of ecosystems (UNEP, 2016; WWAP,
2017; WWAP, 2012). The discharge of untreated wastewater can have severe impacts on human
and environmental health, including outbreaks of food-, water- and vector-borne diseases, as
well as pollution and the loss of biological diversity and ecosystem services (WWAP, 2017). The
collection of wastewater and applying appropriate levels of treatment for other uses or discharge
into the environment can be improved with quality standards and regulations for incoming
wastewater streams and outgoing treated wastewater (WWAP, 2017; OECD, 2017). In addition,
it is well established that sufficient institutional capacity and financing are required to build
wastewater treatment plants in developing countries and emerging markets (WWAP, 2017).
Data gathering and monitoring: Although there are attempts to gather water related global
monitoring data (WWAP, 2017; WWAP, 2012), it is well established that there is a lack of data
relating to water quality and wastewater management, particularly in developing countries (UNWater 2015a) and most notably, in areas inhabited by IPLC (Nilson et al., 2013; Bradford et al.,
2017). Policies that promote holistic assessment of water including gathering of data on water
quality and cycle can inform decision-making and increase understanding on how to manage
water and ecosystem services sustainably (UNEP, 2016; WWAP, 2012; WWAP, 2015).
Strengthening standards for the corporate sector: There will always be trade-offs between
business needs and targets. Better understanding is needed between long-term approaches to
meet global goals and short-term approaches chosen by companies. There is opportunity to
develop and strengthen voluntary standards that comply with international best practices (e.g.,
CEO Water Mandate’s Integrity Guidelines and Framework, International Water Stewardship
Standard, European Water Stewardship Standard), IFC Performance Standards on Environmental
and Social Sustainability and SDG6. These voluntary standards aim to enable business and their
supply chains to comply with the voluntary standards. Recently, the global corporate reporting
standards for water have been revised to measure water consumption and withdrawal in water
stressed areas more efficiently (GRI 303: Water, 2018). Such reporting standards aim to enable
the corporate decision makers to assess the impacts of their activities on water and how to
sustainably manage the resource. Increasing trade of ‘virtual water’ has led to competition with
local water users and exacerbated the need for inclusive and informed water governance (Sojamo
et al 2012; Sojamo & Archer 2012). Indeed, several certification schemes include water use and
96
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
water pollution related issues (e.g., GlobalGap, MPS-ABC, the Rainforest Alliance, IFOAM,
Alliance for Water Stewardship). These certification schemes are not without criticisms such as
lack of transparency, exclusion of stakeholders, negligible environmental benefits, and poor
monitoring. The challenge is to ensure that the certification schemes do not create unequal
allocation of water between export-oriented companies and local water users’ communities and
respect local and customary water rights.
6.3.4.2 Managing water scarcity
Water scarcity is common throughout West Asia and Asia Pacific regions, and in arid parts of
Africa and the Americas (GEO-6 Freshwater, 2017). Water scarcity leads to droughts, soil
degradation, excessive extraction of groundwater and loss of wetlands with negative impacts on
nature and NCP (WWAP/UN Water, 2018; CBD, 2015; Wetlands International, 2010). In the
short-term, one option for policy makers is to put water rationing measures to reduce freshwater
usage. Water authorities and government may decide to promote water rationing as an
emergency measure or as part of a legal water right (GEO6 Freshwater 2017). Option such as
water abstraction charge (or water resource management charges) commonly targets industrial
users, agriculture, hydropower producers, domestic users and energy production (OECD, 2015),
but the charges may not lower water consumption (Finney, 2013; Kraemer, 2003a). To mitigate
the negative impacts of any water allocation reform, the decision makers may need to find a
balance among divergent interests (Finney, 2013; Rogers, 2002). Abstraction charges for large
scale usage of surface and groundwater can be an option to allocate and use water more
efficiently. However, such abstraction charge needs to reflect the environmental cost and
vulnerability of the local population (Finney, 2013; OECD, 2017b; Kraemer et al., 2003a).
In addition, coherent policy across sectors such as water, energy, climate change and agriculture
is needed so that policy reform in one sector does not encourage over-consumption of water
resources (FAO, 2014; Bazilian et al., 2011; Olsson, 2013; Benson et al., 2015). In the shortterm, e.g., modifications in the land use policy may encourage conservation of water through the
use of water efficient agricultural practices, optimised irrigation systems, improved crop
varieties, rainwater harvesting and floodwater storage, and discourage agricultural runoff and
water loss in the regions with water scarcity (Reddy et al., 2018; OECD, 2015). Greater policy
coherence will play a crucial role to reduce negative economic, social and environmental
externalities; however, such coherence is vital for better coordination among decision makers
and increased collaboration among stakeholders (Rasul, 2016; FAO, 2014; Hussey & Pittock,
2012; Benson et al., 2015).
Option such as desalination of water is used in arid west Asian countries and US (e.g.,
California) and resulted in increased investment in new desalinisation plants (West Asia
Regional GEO-6, 2017; North America GEO-6, 2017). Solar desalinisation is an alternative that
is being applied in several small island states (GEO-6 Freshwater, 2017). There are trade- offs
involved as desalination projects require large amounts of energy and ‘produces highly
concentrated brine’ (OECD, 2017) which can negatively affect coastal ecosystems (WWAP,
2017). Thus, the efficiency of the desalinisation projects is contested and inconclusive.
97
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
Restrict groundwater abstraction: Groundwater abstraction has risen sharply over the last 50
years (Shah et al., 2007) and groundwater pollution has degraded groundwater dependent
ecosystems (FAO, 2016a, b; Wada, 2010; Foster, 2013). Surface water and groundwater are
closely linked and should be managed conjunctively (Foster, 2011). It is well established that
there is a need for better data regarding existing groundwater resources including their recharge,
use and discharge rates (UNEP, 2012; Pandey et al., 2011). As for options, first, in the shortterm, a management plan on groundwater or both surface and groundwater may clearly set out a
framework for groundwater allocation and may contain water quality and salinity management
plan (OECD, 2017b; OECD, 2015). Second, another short-term approach would be to adopt the
rights-based approach to manage water (including groundwater) that may strengthen the
provisions on ownership of water, user rights and customary rights, rules related to pollution
control and roles and responsibilities of competent authorities (WWAP, 2015; Winkler, 2012;
Misiedjan & Gupta, 2014; Mechlem et al., 2016). Third, collection and monitoring of data are
even more crucial for groundwater management due to the interconnected nature of surface and
groundwater and the need for monitoring groundwater abstraction is well established (Custodio,
2002; Konikow, 2005; Shah et al., 2000; FAO, 2016). However, such monitoring will require
installation of water meter and tracking of water usage and consumption and monitoring aquifers
is technologically demanding and costly (OECD, 2017b; Van Geer, 2006). Fourth, groundwater
allocation needs to be coherent with policies in other sectors such as energy, agriculture and
urban development so that subsidies in one sector do not lead to overconsumption of
groundwater (Varady, 2016; Hussey & Pittock, 2012; Alley et al., 2016).
6.3.4.3 Engaging stakeholders
Engagement of stakeholder includes integrated and participatory approach to freshwater
management and helps the decision makers to identify innovative and equitable solutions
(Varady, 2016). For river basins and water catchments management, multi-level collaborations
of government bodies, multi-stakeholder engagement and partnership of various water users at
the local level remain crucial (Megdal et al., 2017). Instead of ‘top down’ policies, it is well
established that ‘bottom up’ policies connecting decision makers and water users promote
informed decisions, enhance effectiveness of decisions, and reduce conflicts among water users
(Varady, 2016; UNEP, 2016; WWAP, 2017). For example, comprehensive treatment of
wastewater is generally undertaken at the local level. Therefore, stakeholder engagement (e.g.,
through communication, consultation, participation, representation, partnership, co-decision) and
motivation for compliance remain crucial for any local policy measure (Akhmouch & Clavreul,
2016). In addition, any such local measure will need to be adapted to economic inequalities, local
circumstances, ecosystem needs, competing uses of water and culturally acceptable practices
(WWAP, 2017). To increase the use of treated wastewater at the national level, quality standards
along with financial or legal incentives can be integrated into national water supply schemes
(WWAP, 2017; Hanjra et al., 2015). Consulting with various water users and engaging them in
monitoring and performance assessment can help the decision makers to decide the preferred
reform options for water management, recognise multiple values and gain a better understanding
of the preferences of different waters users (Megdal et al., 2017).
Greater engagement of IPLCs in water governing bodies such as through negotiated agreements
(Jackson & Barber, 2015) can serve a purpose in incorporating IPLC social, spiritual and
98
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
customary values in water management (King & Brown, 2010; Finn & Jackson, 2011; Barber &
Jackson, 2012), as well as local ecological knowledge (Weir et al., 2013; Escott et al., 2015). For
example, native title law in Australia recognizes Aboriginal rights and cultural values of water,
requiring environmental flow requirements for indigenous values in water plans (Jackson &
Morrison, 2004; Jackson & Langton, 2011; Jackson et al., 2014). More specifically, adaptive
water management regimes have been shown to be effective in accommodating IPLC water
entitlements and greater participation of IPLC in multi-stakeholder water governance (Bark et
al., 2012), which may include greater roles of IPLC in market-based water trading and
management mechanisms, where they currently play a minor role (Jackson & Langton, 2011).
Non-governmental organisations can play a role in the formulation of river trusts to protect
certain species or pollution event and manage the water catchment (e.g., Severn Rivers Trust in
the UK). Success of this type of arrangement depends on the voluntary participation of
communities to reach local solutions. Such trust, as a custodian of the waterways, can work with
its partners and volunteers to look after the heritage and wildlife on the canals and rivers for
present and future generations (e.g., UK Canal and River Trust, 2015).
Along these lines, there is a growing trend towards the recognition of the rights of rivers, as part
of a broader movement promoting the rights of nature (Pacheco, 2014; Akchurin, 2015; Díaz et
al., 2015; Borràs, 2016; Demos, 2015; Humphreys, 2016). For instance, by granting legal
personality to the Whanganui River, the Government of New Zealand found an innovative way
to honour and respect the Maori traditional worldviews that see the river as “an indivisible and
living whole”, as well as the its associated traditional customary institutions for river governance
(Te Awa Tupua (Whanganui River Claims Settlement Act, 2017; Archer, 2013; Strack, 2017).
The legislation recognizes the river as a “living entity” and establishes a co-management regime
for collaborative water governance with the Whanganui River Iwi, an indigenous community
with cultural ties to the river (Hutchison, 2014; Tanasescu, 2015).
6.3.4.4 Use of economic instruments
There are a range of economic instruments that guide the water sector including tradeable quotas,
abstraction charges, payment for ecosystem services (PES), licence fees, biodiversity offsets, and
subsidies (UNEP 2007; Grafton 2011).
Currently, Latin America is the region that counts with more cases of implementation of PES
dealing with the protection of watershed services (Brauman et al. 2007; Brouwer et al. 2011;
Grima et al. 2017; Martin-Ortega 2013; Stanton et al. 2010). State-led programs constitute the
majority of these schemes. Studies assessing the effects of the PES on water flows or quality are
basically non-existent, in part due to the methodological difficulties and costs that entail to carry
out such type of analyses (Alam 2018; Salzman 2018). Most of PES dealing with water-related
ecosystem services are based on empirically untested assumptions about the relationship between
land use and the condition and flow of water resources. However, such relationships are complex
and generalizations are difficult to hold (Scott et al. 2004; Sun et al. 2017). Reviews on PES in
watersheds have found that most of them are unable to demonstrate impacts on water-related
ecosystem services (Brouwer et al. 2011; Yan et al. 2018). In general, the lack of evaluation of
environmental additionality is a pervasive problem in PES (Pattanayak et al. 2010), though there
99
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
have been recent advancements (Jayachandran et al. 2017). The lack of enforcement of
conditionality, monitoring of ecosystem services outcomes and evaluation of impacts are
reported as recurrent caveats of PES design (Ezzine-de-Blas et al. 2016).
Considerable knowledge gaps still remain with regards to several subjects in PES schemes
implemented in watersheds: (a) How to address the uncertainties associated with the relationship
between land-use and the provision of hydrological services; (b) The extent to which PES
schemes are inducing additional effects not only in land use practices but also on the conditions
of water resources; (c) How different payment modalities influence rules about the management
of common pool resources, such as water; and (d) The long-term relational and behavioural
implications of the payments among the involved stakeholders, particularly relations between
agents along the watersheds. In addition, the next generation of studies should pay more attention
to how to deal with the trade-offs that arise between pursuing ideal design principles, on one
hand, and transaction costs and the need to reconcile different policy goals, on the other.
Attention should be also given to the profile of PES participants, which has important
implications for impact assessment (Grillos 2017; Jack & Jayachandran 2018)
Since the effects of PES schemes on water-related ecosystem services remain largely uncertain,
the issue of what can decision makers do to make these interventions effective remain a critical
one. First, as stated above, impact evaluation systems (and their costs) should be considered in
the design of schemes. The establishment of an impact evaluation system should be considered
as an inherent part of PES design. Win-win outcomes from PES should not be taken for granted.
Indeed, over-reliance on payments as win-win solutions may lead to disappointed results
(Muradian et al. 2013). Second, in order to enhance legitimacy, the possibility of the existence of
multiple values should be acknowledged in the design, implementation and evaluation of PES
schemes. The socioeconomic outcomes of the payments might have different meanings to
different social groups. Third, the assumptions about the relationship between land use and the
provision water-related ecosystem services should be derived from empirical evidence. Fourth,
the management of the scheme should follow adaptive and dynamic principles, based on
knowledge generation and incorporation into the design and implementation. Any socialecological system is dynamic, and the effectiveness of interventions is dependent on the capacity
of managers to follow and be responsive to changes.
6.3.4.5 Improving investment and financing
The targets of SDG 6 and the related Aichi Biodiversity Targets (2, 7, 8, 11, 14, 15) require
investment in hard infrastructure, such as water- and wastewater- treatment plants, reservoirs,
pipes, and sewers; and investment in service systems, including enforceable legal rights,
democratic accountability, research and support for local communities and small farmers. The
key decision-makers for these public goods can be categorised as (A) national and local
governments elected by the people of the country; (B) organisations including indigenous and
local communities, small farmers, workers, women, and ethnic groups. In parallel there are
others pursuing private or market goods, including (C) agribusiness, mining companies, finance
capital, and international financial institutions. There are conflicts of interest between these
groups in relation to choices for financing investment.
100
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
It is well established that investment in wastewater treatment needs to be combined with
regulation, monitoring and enforcement (WWAP 2017; OECD 2017a). Leaving ownership and
investment to market mechanisms leads to land and water ‘grabs’, (Woodhouse 2012; Mehta et
al 2013), and to price hikes for water and sanitation services (Chong et al. 2006). Thus, business
and international financial institutions (group C) have advocated the use of private finance,
reinforced by international public sector agencies, to select suitable projects for commercial
viability, with public benefits emerging as externalities (Serageldin 1995; Marin 2009;
McKinsey 2009). This includes the consistent promotion of Public Private Partnerships (PPPs)
as a vehicle for financing investment required for the SDG. PPPs can help incentivise and even
co-finance the wastewater sector and promote small- and medium-scale entrepreneurs (WWAP
2017; Murray et al. 2011). However, benefits arising from PPP projects in the water sector are
contested and the need to integrate social and environmental considerations in the PPP is well
established (Martin 2009; Stringer et al 2018). Sustainable financing for water pollution may
benefit from a mix of economic policy instruments that promote an efficient allocation and use
of water and reduce water pollution (UNEP 2016)
Actual private investment in water, wastewater and other infrastructure has failed to meet
expectations, and has been almost negligible in lowest income countries (Clarke Annez 2006;
Foster & Briceño-Garmendia 2010; Gleick 2014; Hall & Lobina 2006). Public sector
investment, financed by both tax revenues and utility surpluses, has been the key to development
of water infrastructure both in high income countries, including France, and in developing
countries, where the MDG for drinking water was met ahead of target (Foss-Mollan 2001;
Pezon 2009; Hall & Lobina 2012). For governments and civil society (groups A and B), public
finance is more susceptible to democratic accountability and control. Formal techniques, such as
cost-benefit analysis, have been used for many decades to evaluate government decisions on
investment in water resources, water supply and sanitation (Haveman 1965; Gunter & Fink
2010).
Investment by small farmers, especially with public sector support, can result in more sustainable
and biodiversity sensitive investment in irrigation (Xie et al. 2014; Woodhouse et al. 2017;
Fraiture & Giordano 2014) and public sector investment in irrigation can successfully reflect
economic and resource factors (Rosegrant & Pasandaran 2016), whereas the use of market
mechanisms by raising prices impacts farmers’ income without improving efficiency (VarelaOrtega et al. 1998). Meanwhile, Natural Capital Accounting could provide an option for the
efficient use of scarce natural resources. The WAVES partnership, for example, has supported
Botswana, Madagascar and Rwanda to develop accounting methods which include natural
capital (Waves Partnership 2013; Stringer et al 2018).
IPLC have often expressed that engagement in water management is generally limited to
consultative capacity through ineffective representative processes (Behrendt & Thompson 2004;
Hunt et al. 2009). The development of partnerships optimizing IPLC participation offers
substantial opportunities for greater IPLC engagement in water management (Tinoco et al. 2014;
Escott et al. 2015; Jackson & Barber 2015). Capacity building relevant to water resources
management (Jackson & Altman 2009; Hoverman & Ayre 2012), financial support to allow for
participation (Jackson et al. 2009; Escott et al. 2015) and greater consideration of ILK and IPLC
cultural values (Mooney & Tan 2012; Nikolakis et al. 2013; MacIean & The Bana Yarralji Bubu
101
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
Inc. 2015) have been deemed as key enabling factors for fostering effective IPLC participation in
water governance (Escott et al. 2015).
6.3.4.6 Promoting Integrated Water Resource Management
Fostering polycentric governance: Particular institutional challenges of catchment-level
governance are the reluctance of existing power structures to devolve authority (Jager et al.
2016; Moss 2012; Ring et al 2018) and to move beyond specific pollutants to more systematic
governance. Implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) illustrates how many
member states have maintained existing structures and procedures while resisting the transfer of
power to new river basin authorities (Jager et al. 2016; Ring et al 2018). Failure to implement
plans also often compromises the delivery of WFD objectives (Voulvoulis et al. 2017).
Implementing polycentric governance remains a key option. For example, the South African
National Water Act (1994) aims to adopt a system of polycentric governance at the level of 19
Catchment Management Authorities. While the approach has seen some of the challenges of
devolution discussed above, it has been successful in addressing cross-sectoral integration
(Muller 2012; Stringer et al 2018).
Facilitating integration across sectors: IWRM enables decision-makers to move beyond singleissue policies. Linking land-use and water planning for example has resulted in large urban
populations gaining access to water and sanitation (GEO6 H20 Chapter; PanEurope GEO6;
North American GEO6; LAC GEO6). Understanding telecouplings between distant natural and
human systems are an important option for holistic approaches to managing complex socioecological systems (Liu 2013; Liu 2015). Consideration of the Water-Food- Energy nexus
contributes to taking telecoupling between distant and local drivers of change into account when
implementing IWRM (e.g., Stringer et al 2018). In addition, such integration would benefit from
the application of social science research to enable greater inclusion of knowledge from policy
and political science and public administration and provide important insights into watershed
governance (Sabatier et al. 2005; McDonnell 2008; Cook & Spray 2012; Lubell & Edelenbos
2013).
Harness international normative framework: Adoption of integrated watershed, catchment and
river basin management strategies is emphasised as one option to maintain, restore or improve
the quality and supply of inland water resources (CBD COP Decision IV/4 (1998)). The UNECE
Water Convention on the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International
Lakes (1992) requires parties to take “all appropriate measures” to conserve and restore
ecosystems (Article 2). These include the establishment of water quality objectives and criteria,
conservation and restoration of ecosystems, and development of concerted action programmes
for the reduction of pollution. The Ramsar Convention on Wetlands (e.g., Resolution VIII.16,
2002) also emphasises the importance of restoration and the inclusion of multiple actors
including private landowners, NGOs, and IPLC in wetland restoration planning and
implementation (WWAP-UN Water 2018). A key option for riparian governments and NGOs is
102
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
to harness the international normative framework to implement national and watershed scale
measures. This includes the development of legal instruments and policies for controlling alien
species and wetlands restoration - e.g., the Working for Water (WfW) programme pays actors to
remove invasive alien species in South Africa while enhancing the capacity and commitment to
solve invasive species issues (https://www.environment.gov.za/projectsprogrammes/wfw). (See
section 6.3.2.5 for ecosystem restoration).
6.3.4.7 Encouraging transboundary water management
The IWRM options (section 6.3.4.6) are also applicable to the transboundary context. In
addition, further options are set out below.
Implementing international law norms and basin treaties: Existing international obligations
provide the normative framework and a level playing field for basin level implementation at
national and transboundary levels. For example, the UN Watercourses Convention’s processbased norms offer options for interpreting and implementing the convention and implementing
an effective system at the national level (Rieu-Clarke & Lopez 2013). In addition, basin level
treaties can offer effective mechanisms for managing transboundary basins and preventing the
escalation or emergence of transboundary disputes (Brochmann & Hensel 2009; Tir & Stinnett
2012; Dinar et al. 2015). The content and design of such treaties need particular consideration
(Dombrowsky 2007). For instance, options for securing compliance include strong mechanisms
for dispute resolution (UNEP 2002; Lim 2014) and recognition of non-state parties (Jacobson &
Brown-Weiss 1998). On the other hand, sanctions are the least effective in terms of
implementation across national borders (Brunée 2007).
Addressing fragmentation: Regime fragmentation is a key obstacle of the law of transboundary
watercourses (Zawahri 2011; Rieu-Clarke & Pegram 2013) as there is a common trend to adopt
bilateral agreements within multilateral river basins (Song & Whittington 2004). The second
assessment of the implementation of the UN Watercourses Convention emphasises the
importance of integrating sectorial policies to avoid perverse outcomes (European Commission
for Europe 2011). The UN Watercourses Convention and the UNECE Water Convention are the
two main international Conventions governing the management of transboundary water
resources. Both are in force, open to all countries and mutually reinforcing (McCaffrey 2014).
Rieu-Clarke and Kinna (2014) therefore recommend a ‘package approach’ and three institutional
options for States to address fragmentation while simultaneously implementing both
Conventions. The first option suggests that the UNECE Secretariat would be responsible for
servicing both Conventions. The second envisages two parallel institutional frameworks where
each Convention has its own Secretariat. The final option is to maintain the status quo where
contracting states would not need to make any amendments to the two existing Conventions.
Strengthening participatory tools: Data sharing provisions within transboundary agreements is
an important option for enhancing effective transboundary water resource management. Even
where data is shared, concerns often remain over their veracity (Turton et al. 2003; Timmerman
& Langaas 2004; Grossmann 2006; Armitage et al. 2015; Gerlak et al. 2011). Conversely, data
103
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
and information can facilitate transparency and trust which in turn enhances compliance (Young
1994; Burton & Molden 2005; Gerlak et al. 2011). In addition, improved stakeholder
engagement and enhanced capacity for integrated problem solving are key components of the
success of the transboundary endeavour (Dore et al. 2012; Lim 2014). Where stakeholders
perceive particular rules to have emerged from a legitimate process, they are more likely to
comply with their commitments (Franck 1998; Jacobson & Brown Weiss 1998; Breitmeir et al.
2006; Brondizio & Le Tourneau 2016; Diaz et al. 2018).

6.3.5 Integrated Approaches for Sustainable Cities
Urbanization is one of the most forceful drivers of ecological change (Seto 2013), with more
than two thirds of the world’s population expected to live in cities by 2050 (United Nations
2010). The most significant growth in urbanization during the 21st century will occur in the
developing world, particularly Africa and India, which combined will add more than 1 billion
new urban residents by 2040 (UNDESA 2014). In urban areas human populations and human
built infrastructure are the most dense (Grimm et al. 2008), and can drive significant impacts on
local, regional, and global nature and its sustained contributions to people’s quality of life if not
managed properly (McPhearson et al. 2018). More than half the global urban population lives in
settlements of less than one million, and attention is needed across the urban hierarchy, from global
cities to towns and small villages (UN Habitat and United Nations ESCAP 2015).
Globally, urban land cover is projected to increase by 1.2 million square kilometers by 2030.
This could result in considerable loss of habitats in key biodiversity hotspots, including the
Guinean forests of West Africa, the tropical Andes, the Western Ghats of India, and Sri Lanka
(Seto et al. 2012), and of Mediterranean habitat types (Elmqvist 2013). Yet despite major
changes to ecological properties, critical NCPs are still present in urban settings (Gomez 2013a,
Gomez 2013b). An array of options for the protection, adaptive management and restoration of
nature in cities are thus critical to maintain a supply of nature’s contributions to urban
populations, and are essential to engender more sustainable futures for city inhabitants
(McDonald 2013; McPhearson et al. 2014).
Planning for the impacts of climate change on urban settlements is also a core challenge for our
urban future, as highlighted by the inaugural IPCC Conference on Cities and Climate Change in
early 2018. Cities consume 75% of the world’s energy use and produce more than 76% of all
carbon, and are therefore major contributors to climate change, but are also highly vulnerable to
risks, especially in coastal locations (Bai et al. 2016). Reducing the impact of climate change will
require a more integrated approach to urban design, planning and construction; urban
ecosystems; and transport, energy, water and urban governance (Rosenzweig et al. 2016). It will
also require implementation by all levels of government – both national urban policy and state
and local strategies and actions (OECD 2010), yet many barriers exist that prevent integrated
urban approaches, ranging from financial challenges to lack of information to sectoral
fragmentation (Runhaar et al. 2018)
The good news is that urban planning and policy in cities around the world are already
developing novel approaches, methods, and tools for developing sustainable cities, including in
developing countries (Norman 2016, McEvoy et al. 2013, Measham et al. 2011). This section
reviews options in the short and longer-term to enable sustainability transitions in cities, while
recognizing that the challenges, and thereby the options, differ in the global South and North
(Nagendra et al. 2018). The section focuses on the main groups of options for sustainable cities:
urban planning for sustainability; nature-based solutions and green infrastructure; reducing the
105
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
impact of cities; and enhancing access to urban services for a good quality of life (see for an
overview Table 6.6).

6.3.5.1 Urban planning for sustainability
The SDG, UN Habitat (Quito 2016) and the World Urban Forum (Kuala Lumpur 2018) have all
collectively reaffirmed the positive contribution integrated strategic urban planning can make in
protecting nature within and around cities (Folke et al 2002; Norman, 2018). Over the past few
decades, “ecocities” and “green cities” theories began to emphasize the importance of
ecosystems within cities and in linked rural areas (Yang 2013). Sustainable urban design seeks to
maximize the quality of the built environment and minimize impacts on the natural environment
(McLennan 2004). Innovative urban planning theories have emerged, such as Ecological Design
(Rottle & Yocom 2011), New Urbanism, Sustainable Urbanism (Farr 2008), Ecological
Urbanism (Mostafavi & Doherty 2010), Agricultural Urbanism (De La Salle and Holland 2010),
Landscape Urbanism (Waldheim 2007), Green Urbanism (Beatley 2000), Biophilic Urbanism
(Beatley 2009), Ecocities (Register 2006), and Ecopolises (Ignatieva et al. 2010). These
approaches emphasize ecological restoration and connected multifunctional green infrastructure,
prioritize walkable and mixed land uses (Register 2006).
Options for sustainable urban planning include: bioregional planning; nature-friendly urban
development; increasing green space in cities; and protecting land for urban agriculture (see
Supplementary Materials 6.4.1 for a detailed discussion).
•
Bioregional planning: Inter- and transdisciplinary, collaborative, and strategic urban
planning and design that integrates with surrounding regions can offer numerous benefits
to water, renewable energy, and air quality (Breuste et al. 2008; Raudsepp-Hearne et al.
2010; Beatley 2011; Colding 2011; Novotny et al. 2010; McDonald & Marcotullio 2011;
Pauleit et al. 2011; Ignatieva et al. 2010; Ahren 2013; Carmen et al. 2013; Alexandra et
al. 2017).
•
Nature-friendly urban development: Ecosystems are often highly fragmented in urban
areas, which can alter the genetic diversity and threaten long-term survival of sensitive
species. To ensure viable urban populations, urban planners need to understand species’
needs for habitat quality and connectivity (Kabisch et al. 2017; Braaker et al. 2014;
Colding 2011). Ecologically progressive urban planning and policy are already
demonstrating how biodiversity conservation and management to enhance local
108
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
ecosystem services production can be part of urban transitions and transformations for
sustainability (Kabisch et al. 2017).
•
Increasing green space and greenbelts throughout cities: GIS and other holistic spatial
planning tools and technologies can be used to create new green spaces and improve and
connect existing ones using (Pickett & Cadenasso 2008; Vergnes 2012).
• Protecting land for urban agriculture and food security: Urban and peri-urban
agriculture, in the form of private gardens, vegetated rooftops, or vertical gardens can
both increase food security and conserve biodiversity. Demonstrating that urban
agriculture reduces environmental deterioration, increases food security, produces jobs,
and connects communities can support rezoning efforts and integration with climate
adaptation and flood mitigation policies (Smit 1996; Resource Centers on Urban
Agriculture and Food Security).
6.3.5.2 Nature-based solutions and green infrastructure
Increased use of green infrastructure and other ecosystem-based approaches can help advance
sustainable urban development while reinforcing climate mitigation and enhancing the quality
and quantity of urban NCP (RUAF 2014; Ecologic Institute 2011; Georgescu et al. 2014). The
European Commission defines green infrastructure (GI) as “a strategically planned network of
natural and semi-natural areas with other environmental features designed and managed so as to
deliver a wide range of ecosystem services” (European Commission 2015). Yet, agreement on
what exactly constitutes GI is elusive since the term is often used to refer to interventions across
a variety of scales including large national ecological networks, wetland restorations, stormwater projects, public green space, allotments, green corridors, street trees, green roofs and walls,
permeable pavements and even private gardens (Cameron et al. 2012; Cohen-Shacham et al.
2016).
Green infrastructure can be a critical source for security and improving human wellbeing in
urban areas (Gill et al. 2007; Foster et al. 2011; Depietri et al. 2011). Different types of GI can
play a role in providing nature’s contributions to urban residents such as storm water
management and flood protection, temperature regulation, cleaner air and water, urban food
production, recreation, and health benefits, as well as contributing to habitat creation and
restoration, connectivity of ecological networks, and increasing urban biodiversity (Andersson et
al. 2014; Garmendia et al. 2016). GI is also thought to present the most cost effective and
synergistic solution for ensuring local climate change adaptation, and promoting low carbon
cities (Fink 2016). For example, incorporating green infrastructure in urban design, especially in
warmer climates, can potentially reduce the use of air conditioning, increase significant energy
savings, and therefore indirectly reduce GHG emissions (Alexandri & Jones 2008; Georgescu et
al. 2014).
Specific options for using GI approaches to address urban problems include the following (see
Supplementary Materials 6.4.2 for a detailed discussion).

Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
•
GI to counterbalance temperature effects: The role of some types of GI (trees, green
roofs and green walls, parks, ponds) in regulating temperature, including reducing the
effects of urban heat islands, is well established.
•
GI for reducing air pollution: Vegetation can remove or reduce certain pollutants from
the atmosphere, including greenhouse gas emissions through carbon sequestration, and
trees act as carbon sinks in urban settings (McPherson 1998; McPherson & Simpson
1998).
•
GI to provide clean water supplies: Provisioning of water is a critical NCP provided by
ecosystems, and protecting watersheds and wetlands within cities and in the region is
crucial. This will also support other regulating NCP including flood alleviation, nutrient
cycling, and habitat conservation.
•
GI for storm-water management: The benefits and cost-effectiveness of GI for storm
water and flood control in urban areas are well established (Kabisch et al. 2016).
•
GI for storm and flood control: A growing number of cases are demonstrating the
effectiveness of ecosystems as nature-based solutions to buffer the impacts of
climatological, hydro-meteorological and even some geophysical hazards such as
landslides (Renaud et al. 2016; McPhearson et al. 2018). The creation or restoration of
wetlands, tidal marshes, or mangroves provide water retention and protect coastal cities
from storm surge flooding and shoreline erosion during storms (Haddad et al. 2015;
Gittman et al. 2014; Kaplan et al. 2009). Similarly, “sponge cities” in China, defined as
urban development that takes into account flood control and water conservation through
infrastructure planning and ecosystem-based protection, are using GI to combat persistent
and significant urban flooding challenges (Li et al. 2017).
Notwithstanding the substantial evidence for the benefits of GI as nature-based solutions, some
concerns remain relating to trade-offs, protection of biodiversity, and governance and equity
issues. Further research is needed to better understand the synergies and trade-offs between the
different benefits offered by GI (Haase, 2015). Promotion of GI at present seems to be focused
on opportunities for economic growth, enhancing durability of infrastructure, and cost reduction
(Garmendia et al. 2016). GI initiatives would benefit from more explicitly incorporating nature
conservation objectives, as well as assessing and safeguarding the impacts of GI projects on
biodiversity (Eggermont et al. 2015; Garmendia et al. 2016). A recent EU publication noted the
need for habitat suitability and mapping of nature’s contributions as part of GI approaches (EEA
2014). In addition, it is also necessary to evaluate the degree of transferability and uptake of GI
research within the developing world context, since most research originates in developed
countries (Shackleton 2012). Barriers to GI implementation often include a lack of incentives,
little institutional support, and concerns about increased maintenance costs (Zhang et al. 2012).
110
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
Mainstreaming of GI, and nature-based solutions in general, may include several options. First,
meaningful participation from multiple stakeholders is essential in order to identify
commonalities and differences between stakeholder preferences (Hansen & Pauleit 2014), and
to encourage co-production of initiatives to ensure ownership and stewardship (Nesshöver et al.
2017). Secondly, long-term guardianship of urban areas may require recognition and institutional
support for diverse forms of property rights arrangements such as Urban Green Commons (e.g.
collectively managed parks, community gardens, allotments) (Colding & Barthel 2013), as well
as the empowerment of grass roots initiatives that match solutions to demand (Brink et al. 2016).
Lastly, urban planning decision-making processes could benefit from incorporating the concept
of the insurance value of ecosystems. This refers to placing importance on the role of nature in
conferring resilience that secures the long-term conditions necessary to sustain a good quality of
life for humans (Green et al. 2016). This can be applied in an urban planning context to help
target investments for GI and urban nature restoration, and might even require involving
insurance industry sectors as key investors in GI and nature restoration efforts (European
Commission 2015). However, despite the recognition of nature-based approaches as “low regret”
measures for climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction at both local (Kabisch et al.
2017) and global levels (UNISDR 2005, 2015; IPCC 2012), such approaches still remain the
most disregarded component of urban plans and strategies (Renaud et al. 2013; Matthews et al.
2015).
6.3.5.3 Reducing the impacts of cities
With global populations urbanizing, the environmental impacts of cities have become
increasingly large, such as increasing demand for materials to create infrastructure, vehicles and
buildings (IRP 2018). Within this context it is necessary to look at the ‘solution space’ for cities,
noting that some directions for alleviating urban environmental impact are at a national or
societal level, and international city-peer organisations such as ICLEI or the C40 collective are
sharing experiences among cities on reducing impacts.
The literature on resource efficiency indicates that key issues of concern for urban areas are
limited reserves, recycling, and reducing consumption, and from this a systems perspective and
circular economy ideas of industrial ecology have emerged (Miatto et al. 2016; Heinz Schandl et
al. 2016; Schandl et al. 2015; UNEP 2016). It is worth noting that although thousands of cities
report on their (usually only direct) GHG emissions, monitoring of the whole urban metabolism
of cities is more rare, but increasing (Kennedy et al. 2011; Huang et al. 2015). Research agencies
and NGO are beginning to gather data at the national and international scale, and research
indicates that network system modeling approaches, global life-cycle perspectives, and multicriteria assessments can be key tools (Beloin-Saint-Pierre et al 2017). Urban environmental
assessments will need to become as much a part of planning as housing, transport and economics
if we are to measure progress in the resource efficiency of cities. The urban literature points to
changes in urban density and form, efficient transport, and how people build, consume, and live
in cities as key components to increasing efficiency and reducing impacts (Reid Ewing &
Cervero 2010; Reid Ewing & Rong 2008; Weisz & Steinberger 2010).
Specific options for reducing the impacts of cities include the following (see Supplementary
Materials 6.4.3 for a detailed discussion).
111
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
•
Encouraging density and in-filling: Sprawling cities generally require more energy for
transport per capita (Newman & Kenworthy 1989), more car travel, less travel by public
transit (Kenworthy & Laube 1999) and accommodate larger floor area in buildings,
which consume more electricity (Kennedy et al. 2015). To be an effective intervention
for socio-economic and environmental benefit, density must be implemented at key
transport nodes, surrounding and linking between activity centres (Suzuki et al. 2013).
•
Planning urban form and transport: Planners and industry need to create neighborhoods
of mixed land use and diverse housing options that pre-empt the need for citizens to
travel across the city (Cervero & Guerra 2011; Ewing et al. 2008; Grubler et al. 2012;
Marshall 2008). Other options to reduce transport energy use include internalization of
external costs (e.g. congestion pricing), making public transport more attractive, and not
extending the road network (Grubler et al. 2012).
•
Mitigating building energy use and emissions: Buildings are the single largest energy use
sector within cities world-wide (Weisz & Steinberger 2010). Significant operational
savings can be achieved from implementing energy efficient building codes (Pauliuk,
Sjöstrand, & Müller 2013) and with new urbanisation and replacement of existing stock,
there is an opportunity to decouple energy needs from urban growth (UN Environment
and International Energy Agency 2017).
•
Addressing urban consumption: Reducing the indirect impact of urban consumers can be
achieved by promoting the selling of services instead of consumer goods that provide the
service. Implemented through the ‘circular economy’, this collectively can help separate
material needs from consumption (IRP 2018) (see further discussion in section 6.4 on
sustainable economies).
•
Transformative urban governance: Engaging citizens in planning, including participatory
budgets, is an important role for (local) governments (Grubler et al. 2012; IRP 2018).
6.3.5.4 Enhancing access to urban services for good quality of life
One of the main targets of SDG 11 (sustainable cities and communities) is to ensure access for
all to basic services. This is especially urgent in cities in the global South, where inhabitants of
informal settlements, or slums, have access to few or no services (Nagendra et al 2018).
Reducing informal settlements was one of the Millenium Development Goals, and more steps
can be taken to address these targets to enhance the quality of life for the quarter of the world’s
population that live in informal settlements (UN-Habitat 2015, Richards 2006). Options include
increasing access to clean water and sanitation; improving management of solid waste;
increasing access to transportation and green spaces; and transforming governance approaches
(see Supplementary Materials 6.4.4 for a detailed discussion).
•
Improving access to clean water and sanitation: Increasing access to sanitation and clean
water by fostering partnerships between all actors to encourage a bottom-up, participatory
approach, including recognition of where the informal sector provision of water is
112

working, could increase effectiveness and socio-economic benefits (Ahlers et al. 2014;
Annamalai 2016; Bonnardeaux 2012; McFarlane 2008). Sustainable urban water
management (SUWM) is the umbrella term for adaptive, integrated, participatory
delivery of water, and in most cases, barriers to SUWM are not technical, but institutional
(Brown & Farrelly 2009; Marlow et al 2013). In some cases public-private partnerships
may work, while in others not (Koppenjan & Enserink 2009; Zhong et al. 2008). As
noted in section 6.3.4, investing in natural ecosystems such as wetlands can also help to
conserve biodiversity while helping communities manage their own water supplies
(Postel 2005).
•
Improving management of solid waste: A top-down approach to improve solid waste
management could be integrated sustainable solid waste management (ISSWM) policy,
which provides a legal framework to enforce effectiveness (Shekdar 2009). Less costly
approaches could be incentive programs and tiered trash collection (pay-as-you-throw)
which could significantly reduce the amount of solid waste produced and increase the
amount of materials recycled (Dahlen 2010; Folz & Giles 2002) and composting or
waste-to-energy programs in place (Sharholy 2008).
•
Improving access to transportation: Access to safe, affordable, accessible, and
sustainable public transportation systems helps communities to thrive socially and
economically (Litman 2013; Kenworthy 2006; Litman 2006; Newman 2006; Banister
2001; Deakin 2001; Newman 1999; Cervero 1996; Crane 1996). Other options include
promotion of low-cost alternative transportation, such as bicycles or ride sharing.
•
Improve access to green space: As noted previously, green spaces in cities can contribute
to NCP provisioning and biodiversity protection, among other advantages such as
increasing GQL, promoting healthy physical and mental well-being ( Nadja Kabisch et al.
2017; van den Bosch & Sang 2017; Dennis 2016; Gomez 2013; Lee & Maheswaran
2011), and decreasing crime (Bogar 2016; Donovan 2012; Troy 2011; Kuo 2001).
•
Improving participatory planning and governance for inclusion: One of the targets of
SDG 11 is to enhance and expand on participatory and integrated planning at all levels of
governance (UN-SDG 11), which can help contribute to GQL. Participatory planning
offers views that may otherwise have been neglected (Innes & Booher 2010).

6.3.6 Integrated Approaches for Sustainable Energy and Infrastructure
Figure 6.5: Trade-offs between renewable energy potential and protected areas, Santangeli
et al. 2016b
It is well established that the energy supply sector based on fossil-fuel energy systems is the
largest contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (IPCC 2014; Bruckner et al. 2014; Van
der Voet 2012; McDaniel & Borton 2002). Extraction, storage, transformation and use of energy
sources (i.e. the energy, mining and infrastructure sectors) have considerable negative impact on
biodiversity and ecosystem services via degrading, fragmenting, polluting and over-exploiting
species and habitats, introducing invasive alien species, and contributing to climate change
(CBD/SBSTTA/21/5, Jones et al. 2015; McDonald et al. 2009; Chapter 2.1). The transition from
a fossil-fuel energy based system to renewables has been identified as a necessary action for a
sustainable future. This is reflected by SDG 7 (affordable and clean energy), aiming to ensure
access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all, as well as to increase the
share of renewables in the global energy mix (UNDP 2016; CBD 2016; CBD 2017).
Nevertheless, to ensure the sustainability of an energy transition, impacts of renewables on other
SDG (Nerini et al. 2017) as well as on nature and NCPs – especially trade-offs between
renewable energy oriented land uses and nature conservation, also covered by the Aichi Targets
– has to be equally taken into account (Santangeli et al. 2016a, b; for relevant SDG and Aichi
Targets see Chapter 3) (See Supplementary Materials 6.5 for discussion on associated
challenges).
As figure 6.5 indicates, expansion of energy oriented biomass (biofuel) production has more
serious impacts on nature and NCP than solar and wind energy, although regional differences
across the globe are significant. Therefore, in this section, biofuels related issues are assessed in
more detail while other renewable energy sources (including solar, wind, hydropower and their
mixes) are discussed throughout.
Key governance challenges are the acknowledgement of multiple values in relation to the
impacts of current and planned energy use on nature, NCP and GQL, as well as managing trade114
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
offs and telecouplings. Energy use is closely linked to a whole range of political, social and
economic interests (Hall et al. 2013; Huber 2013; Mitchell 2011). Institutional interplay across
levels – e.g., the course of national borders, the setup of electricity markets, the distribution of
property rights, regulations and decision-making processes – defines who owns resources needed
for the generation of energy, who gains access to energy, and who bears the burdens (Heindl
2014).
The ways in which energy, mining and infrastructure projects are carried out and implemented
trigger conflicts between worldviews and values, raise implementation problems, and often
affect IPLC rights to land and water, as illustrated by an increasing number of socialenvironmental conflicts throughout the world (Arsel & Angel 2012; Rival 2009; Islar 2012;
Jordà-Capdevila & Rodríguez-Labajos 2014; Martinez-Allier 2014; Ehara et al. 2016; Spice
2018). At least 40% of all the 2,588 socio-environmental conflicts documented globally happen
to involve IPLC (EJAtlas 2018). Similarly, from the 501 land and environmental defenders that
have been assassinated worldwide (2014-2016), almost 40% were IPLC (Global Witness 2015,
2016, 2017). Disputes over land ownership are an underlying factor in most of these conflicts
(Oxfam et al. 2016; Dell’Angelo et al. 2017a, 2017b; RRI 2017). In general, large-scale energy
development projects, either renewable or non-renewable, often trigger trade-offs between
climate change mitigation, energy provision, social development and nature conservation
objectives (e.g., Humpenöder et al. 2018).
Energy production and use are connected by telecouplings to many other ecosystems and
resource uses at multiple scales and sectors, raising concerns over biodiversity (e.g., the impact
of climate change from energy-related GHG emissions), human health (e.g., the impact of indoor
pollution due to inefficient energy technologies), water use and fisheries (e.g., the impact of
hydropower), agriculture and forestry (e.g., bio-energy as replacement for fossil fuels), and
mining (e.g., rare earth, cobalt, lithium etc. extraction for storage) (Doria et al. 2017).
This section focuses on options for sustainable energy systems exist for various decision makers,
including the development of sustainable biofuels strategies, encouraging comprehensive
environmental impact assessment, ensuring compensation and innovative financing for
environmental and social impacts, ensuring access to energy for all by promoting community-led
initiatives, promoting inclusive governance, and promoting sustainable infrastructure (Table 6.7).

6.3.6.1 Development of sustainable biofuels strategies
Some international organizations (see e.g., IPCC 2014; Searchinger et al. 2017; IRENA 2017),
regional organizations (EC 2009) and country governments view biofuel as a clean energy
source that support climate mitigation strategies (REN21 2018). Sixty-four countries are in the
process of mandating or increasing mandated blending of biodiesel or ethanol in motor fuels,
being Brazil, EU, Argentina, Canada and China the largest markets (Edenhofer et al. 2011; IPCC
2014; UN General Assembly 2015; IEA & OECD 2013; Gota et al. 2015; Malins 2015).
Favourable taxation and export levies are applied by several countries (e.g., Brazil and
Indonesia). Global subsidies for liquid biofuels exceeded US$20 billion in 2014 (Worldwatch
Institute 2014). The adoption of biofuel policies has decelerated worldwide but current policies
still tend to underestimate risks of biofuels (Goetz et al. 2017; Le Bouthillier et al. 2016; De Man
& German 2017; Oliveira et al. 2017; Fargione et al. 2008 – see Supplementary Materials 6.5.1).
At the international and national level, incorporating sustainability criteria in renewable energy
laws can recognize the interlinkages between energy use and production, and its impacts on
biodiversity (Le Bouthillier et al. 2016; Fritsche & Iriarte 2014; Lin 2012; Frank et al. 2013). For
example, the EU Renewable Energy Directive (EU 2009) sets a mandatory 10% minimum target
117
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
for the share of biofuels in transport petrol and diesel consumption by 2020 to be achieved by all
Member States, but to mitigate telecoupling effects it also requires biofuel production to fulfil
several sustainability criteria. Options for national governments to mitigate risks of land use
change and biodiversity loss related to the expansion of bioenergy production include monitoring
and reporting with a focus on potential regulation (e.g., water competition in South Africa), as
well as corrective action (e.g., adjustment of the volume of renewable fuels mandated such as in
the US and EU). Creating country-wide zoning (e.g., Brazil, Mozambique) can serve as basis of
selecting “marginal” or “waste lands” for biofuel production (e.g., India, MNRE 2009), although
this is contested in literature (Goetz et al. 2017; Montefrio & Dressler 2016; Baka 2013),
especially because such categories, many of which are inherited from colonial occupation,
represent rich ecosystems that provide multiple NCP, locally and regionally (Ahmed et al.
2017). Sector-specific zoning (e.g., Brazil's Agroecological Zoning for Sugarcane) and
regulation is another option to improve sustainable energy use, which can be interlinked with
infrastructure policies. Private sector recently used to implement codes of conduct (e.g., Brazil's
Agro-environmental Protocol of the Sugar-based Ethanol Sector) and certification systems (e.g.,
Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil), as well as environmental impact assessment and management
procedures. However, the current performance of such certifications remains poor, due to the
proliferation of low-quality ecolabels and the low market share of certified crops; but also
because ecosystem services and broader cross-sector repercussions of biofuels production and
use are not part of such schemes (Gasparatos et al. 2018; German et al. 2017).
Second and third generation biofuels (non-edible plant biomass and unicellular photosynthetic
microorganisms, respectively) are promoted as possible alternatives to edible plant based
biofuels (Ravindran et al. 2016; Lackner 2015; Mohr & Raman 2013). However, assessments
about their effects and associated risks are largely theoretical and premature until these
technologies are applied widely (Goetz et al. 2018; Ravindran et al. 2016; Lackner 2015; Mohr
& Raman 2013). Second generation biofuels are confronted with sustainability problems similar
to those of the first generation (Mohr & Raman 2013). Third generation biofuels (e.g.,
microalgae) seem to employ significantly less land resources for their production, but their
production is very energy intensive and economically unviable today. Technological innovation
aims to improve processing technologies as well as microorganisms, pointing to additional risks
in form of genetic engineering (Ravindran et al. 2016; Lackner 2015).
For any generation of biofuels to be sustainable, global demand would have to be reduced, and
opportunity costs compared to other technologies considered (e.g., photovoltaic, Searchinger et
al. 2017). Several governments plan to replace gasoline powered engines by electric ones in the
near future to achieve the targets set in the Paris Climate Agreement, which could massively
reduce the demand for ethanol and biodiesel. However, advancing e-mobility would amplify
other problems, e.g., the production of lithium and other metals and rare earths (Xiong et al.
2018), and expanding it to shipping and air transport (including military) is questionable.
Reducing transport volumes, e.g., by shorter supply chains, local production and better public
transport, is another option, which would however require far-reaching reforms of the taxation
and subsidy system.
6.3.6.2 Encouraging comprehensive environmental impact assessment (EIA)
118
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
In the context of energy, the purpose of an environmental impact assessment (EIA) is to assess
how the project might cause harm to the environment and to the people and their livelihoods
through extraction and infrastructure development. EIA in the mining sector is encouraged
worldwide by national laws and international financing organizations (IFC 2012; Equator
Principles 2013). While EIA is integrated within the national laws of countries around the world
(Morgan 2012; UNEP 2018), case studies demonstrate that social and ecological impacts, IPLC
participation, mitigation measures as well as post-monitoring of renewable energy projects may
not be adequately addressed in the EIA (Fearnside 2014; Larsen et al. 2018; Schumacher 2017)
and weak implementation of EIAs remains a challenge (European Commission 2013). Numerous
well established impact assessment methods can be considered helpful for incorporating diverse
value systems in the EIA process concerning energy. For example, biodiversity-inclusive EIA
offers opportunities for effective participatory mechanisms engaging those who depend the most
on nature and its contributions, such as Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (Akwé: Kon
Guidelines 2004; IFC 2012, Standard 7); however, there are associated challenges particularly in
developing countries (Craik 2017; Quintero 2012). EIA may also serve as background for “no
net loss” and “net gains” biodiversity policies (IFC 2012, Standard 6) using compensatory
mechanisms (e.g., offsets), in response to impacts identified in the EIA.
Different options exist to improve EIA practice for energy, mining and infrastructure. Applying
the precautionary principle to EIA requires decision makers to identify areas of uncertainty and
to consider the implications of knowledge gaps (CBD EIA Guidelines, para. 42). Another option
is to incorporate adaptive management into EIA instruments via requirement for ex-post
monitoring and follow-up measures (CBD EIA Guidelines, para. 44). Integrating ecosystem
services into EIA helps managing trade-offs if implemented in a context-specific manner, by
providing a basis to prioritize certain functions and benefits and to identify a wider range of
stakeholders affected by potential changes to ecosystem services (OECD 2008; Landsberg 2011;
Baker et al. 2013). Such approaches are emerging in EIA practice (European Commission 2013;
IFC 2012, Standard 6), but different environmental assessment contexts, resource availability,
local capacity and accessible information are likely to drive such integration of ecosystem
services (Baker et al. 2013).
Strategic environmental assessment (SEA) has been introduced to expand the scope of impacts
by looking at the cumulative effects from programmatic or other spatially related actions (Abaza
et al. 2004; UNEP 2018). Challenges aside, widening the scope is possible by incorporating
ecosystem services (Slootweg et al. 2010; Geneletti 2013; Landsberg et al. 2013; European
Commission 2013; Baker et al. 2013) or integrating Health Impact Assessment with SEA. At
present, there is very limited consideration of health in SEA (e.g., in Scotland, Douglas et al.
2011), although good examples exist, e.g., the assessment of health impacts of wind power
(Knopper & Ollson 2011; Van den Berg 2003; Pedersen et al. 2004), and the use of the
Integrated Environmental Health Impact Assessment approach (Briggs 2008;
http://www.integrated-assessment.eu/). See Supplementary Materials 6.5.2 for a detailed
discussion on IEA.
6.3.6.3 Ensuring compensation and innovative financing for environmental and social
impacts
119
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
Compensation approaches have been developed as an instrument to deal with environmental and
social effects that cannot be fully avoided or mitigated in energy, mining and infrastructure
projects (Koh et al. 2017). Since the 1970’s, several countries developed laws and regulations to
apply compensatory measures as a requirement for environmental licensing (Rundcrantz &
Skärbäck 2003; ten Kate et al. 2004; Rundcrantz 2006). Many compensation approaches are
driven by requirements for ‘no net loss’ of biodiversity – applied now in more than 80 countries
– but goals are often challenged by unclear definitions of the baseline reference for ‘no net loss’
(Maron et al. 2018). Compensation can take form of measures to reduce environmental impacts,
to improve social conditions, or monetary payments to offset ecological losses (Villarroya &
Puig 2010; Gastineau & Taugourdeau 2014). Recent trends include projects for compensatory
mitigation, biodiversity offsets, mitigation banking, habitat banking, species banking, and
wetlands mitigation (OECD 2016) (see Supplementary Materials 6.5.3 for a detailed discussion).
There are potential positive effects of compensation schemes, e.g., making new financial
resources available for conservation (estimated at several billions per year), reducing the costs of
environmental compliance, and supporting the social and economic development of local
populations (ten Kate et al. 2004). International experience suggests that no net loss policies
combined with biodiversity offsetting and banking can be effective at involving the private
sector in conservation, especially relative to widespread uncompensated losses of biodiversity
from development projects (ten Kate et al. 2014; OECD 2016; Vaissière et al. 2016). However,
there is little comparable data about the amount of compensatory measures and resources
allocated for this approach (Villarroya & Puig 2010; Xie et al. 2013). They are intended to be a
‘last resort’ option, but critiques note that offsets do not address the root causes of
overdevelopment of energy, mining and infrastructure projects leading to nature deterioration,
and scarcity can create value in markets and banks (Spash 2015). Only a handful of studies have
investigated the local impacts of offset projects on IPLC, which remains a research gap (Bidauda
et al. 2017), given that developers who buy offsets tend to be more powerful actors than
impacted IPLC (Apostolopoulou & Adams 2017) and some localized and site-specific
biodiversity losses can be irreplaceable (ICMM & IUCN 2012) There is also little literature on
the effective use of resources, which makes the results of improving social and economic
conditions within project areas inconclusive.
Risks and challenges (see Supplementary Materials 6.5.3) must be addressed for offsetting to
deliver on its promise, including the lack of clear policy requirements that offer unambiguous
guidance to developers and offset providers (e.g., Quétier et al. 2014), inadequate monitoring and
enforcement and lack of political will to require and enforce best practice in offsetting (IUCN
2014; ten Kate & Crowe 2014). More participatory processes of offset definitions and politics
have been proposed to address these challenges (Mann 2015).
Standards and obligations for environmental performance or liability in infrastructure and
development can mobilize significant amounts of private capital. Innovative mechanisms like
performance bonds (whereby a sum of money commensurate with the estimated cost of site
rehabilitation is held by a banking or insurance institution to be relinquished upon satisfactory
end of the project) are recommended to encourage biodiversity protection during resource
extraction, and to ensure sufficient financial sources to restoration after resource extraction
activities end (ICMM 2003, 2008). Another new mode of private financing are green bonds, a
120
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
US$694bn market in 2016, with notably increased use in Asia (Climate Bond Initiative 2017;
Clapp 2018). Green bonds raise capital to finance climate-friendly projects in key sectors like
transport, energy, building and industry, and water (Croce et al. 2011). Institutional investors are
expected to be the dominant buyer of green bonds, and they are touted to provide returns
comparable to conventional non-green bonds.
6.3.6.4 Ensuring access to energy for all by promoting community-led initiatives
Energy poverty exists both in developing and developed countries and is embedded in the wider
socio-cultural, economic and political context, therefore reflects significant inequalities within
and across nations (Brunner et al. 2018; Monyei et al. 2018; Sadath et al. 2017). Citizen’s
inclusion to renewable energy production and distribution provides more affordable and just
energy access, contributes to behavioural change towards more sustainable energy consumption
and helps to reduce the adverse impacts of energy use on nature and NCP (Schreuer &
Weismeier-Sammer 2010; Rijpens et al. 2013; Kunze & Becker 2015; Islar & Busch 2016).
Different types of community-led energy initiatives have emerged all over the world, providing
access to clean, reliable and affordable energy. Energy autonomy, realized through decentralized
renewable energy production and consumption in local communities and often driven by social
and technological innovation to match demand and supply, has been targeted by sustainable and
local low-carbon communities in Europe and beyond (Rae & Bradley 2012; Yalçin-Riollet et al.
2014; Hobson et al. 2014; Lee et al. 2014; Hoicka & MacArthur 2018).
Low-carbon communities can take various organizational forms and renewable energy
cooperatives (REC) represent a major type which builds on the democratic governance of
renewables and provides economic payback to members who join RECs and invest in
renewables (Herbes et al. 2017; Hentschel et al. 2018; Heras-Saizarbitoria et al. 2018). Major
technological solutions to provide accessible energy to communities in isolated regions include,
among others, small-scale photovoltaics (Menconi et al. 2016; Monyei et al. 2018), run-off river
hydropower (Egre & Milewski 2002; Wazed & Ahmed 2008), and mixes of different renewable
energy sources (Kaldellis et al. 2012). Off-grid, micro-grid and hybrid solutions, applied together
with smart technologies, are efficient ways of producing, storing and sharing renewable energy
within communities (Menconi et al. 2016). Financing such developments and system transitions
may build on public financing and incentives to increase citizen investment (e.g., feed-in tariffs)
(Curtin et al. 2017), market based investments (Linnenluecke et al. 2018), and alternative
financial models like co-operatives or crowd-funding (Gezahegn et al. 2018; Hall et al. 2018;
Vasileiadou et al. 2016). Realizing the urgency of providing modern energy technology and
services has also prompted development institutions, such as World Bank and UNDP, to support
renewable energy facilities led by communities (UNDP 2012).
Although community-based renewables tend to be less detrimental than large-scale energy
development projects as induced land use change is of lower scale and intensity, they might have
adverse effects on nature and society (see e.g., Castán Broto et al. 2018; Islar 2012; Aksungur et
al. 2011), which has to be mitigated. Overcoming the financial, infrastructural, institutional,
socio-cultural barriers of community based renewables is possible if supporting policy is
combined with transformation management (Goddard & Farelly 2018), and if governance
121
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
engages actors from different decision making levels (Markantoni 2016; Goldthau 2014) and
vulnerable groups like women and IPLC (UNDP 2012) (See Supplementary Materials 6.5.4).
6.3.6.5 Promoting inclusive governance in planning and implementation of energy and
infrastructure projects
Excluding local inhabitants from planning energy, mining and infrastructure development
projects often leads to socio-environmental conflicts (Finer et al. 2008, 2015; Filho 2009;
Kumpula et al. 2011; RAISG 2016; Wilson & Stammler 2016) and legal disputes, coming with
severe financial and reputational risks for both states and corporations (Nielsen 2013; Greenspan
et al. 2014; Wilson & Stammler 2016). Large-scale infrastructures are often planned and
implemented without the Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) of IPLC (Hope 2016; Dunlap
2017; MacInnes et al. 2017; Fernández-Llamazares et al. 2018), generally resulting in habitat and
biodiversity loss and threatening local livelihoods and good quality of life (Muradian et al. 2003;
Escobar 2006; Finley-Brook 2007; Araujo et al. 2009; Finer & Jenkins 2012; Athayde 2014;
Laurance & Burgués-Arrea 2017). For example, the rights of Indigenous Peoples in voluntary
isolation and initial contact are under assault from infrastructure expansion (Finer et al. 2008;
Martin 2008; IACHR 2013; Pringle 2014; Kesler & Walker 2015).
Increased public scrutiny of the social-environmental impacts of extractive activities has led
industry to adopt a diverse set of voluntary CSR instruments, including the Extractive Industries
Transparency Initiative, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the Free
Prior and Informed Consent, or the Social Licence to Operate (SLO) (Prno & Slocombe 2012;
Business Council of British Colombia 2015; Moffat et al. 2016; Bice 2014). SLO refers to the
outcome of engagement processes between industry and communities to establish acceptance of
extractive activities (Nielsen 2013; Boutilier & Tgompson 2011), and become central in defining
what levels and kinds of social and environmental harm are acceptable, what actions for
compensation or restoration are appropriate, and how responsibilities for these actions are
distributed (Meesters & Behagel 2017; Idemudia 2007). The concept, however, does not indicate
when a SLO is in place, nor does it necessarily imply consent, legitimacy or responsibility of
mining activities (Owen & Kemp 2013; Boutilier 2014).
Environmental justice movements, including different forms of IPLC activism, are gaining
prominence in response to the expansion of infrastructure development and extraction activities
onto IPLC territories (Martínez-Alier et al. 2010, 2014, 2016; Petherick 2011; Athayde 2014;
Spice 2018). Mainly through global citizen action, social mobilization and capitalizing on
modern technologies, the local social-ecological struggles of IPLC become matters of global
concern (Earle & Pratt 2009; Lorenzo 2011; Temper & Martínez-Alier 2013; Pearce et al. 2015;
Januchowski-Hartely et al. 2016). International human rights law protects the right of IPLC to
give or withhold their Free Prior and Informed Consent in relation to resource extraction,
infrastructure or energy development projects in their territories (Cariño 2005; Edwards et al.
2011; Ward 2011; MacInnes et al. 2017). Such principle is best understood as an expression of
the right to self-determination of IPLC (Charters & Stavenhagen 2009; Hanna & Vanclay 2013;
Doyle 2015) and is enshrined in the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, ILO
Convention 169, and the Nagoya Protocol on Access and Benefit Sharing, as well as in several
national laws (Ward 2011; MacInnes et al. 2017). Although the implementation of FPIC faces
122
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
several challenges on the ground (Anaya 2005; Perreault 2015; Pham et al. 2015; Dehm 2016),
its legal significance is gaining global recognition and lays a solid foundation for simultaneously
supporting nature conservation and human well-being (Page 2004; Magraw & Baker 2006; FPP
et al. 2016). Increasing engagement of IPLC in project planning, consultation or social impact
assessment is likely to be best served by the adoption of standards and policies such as the
Equator Principles, the Global Reporting Initiative, or the UNEP’s Policy on Environmental
Defenders (Lane et al. 2003; FPP 2007; Yakovleva et al. 2011; UNEP 2018) and binding
instruments such as the Escazú Agreement on environmental rights in Latin America and the
Caribbean (ECLAC 2018).
A convergence of demand-driven leverage is likely to improve the regulatory stringency and
enforcement in countries supplying key mineral resources. For example, in the conflict between
IPLC in Orissa State, India, and the bauxite mining operations of Vedanta Resources (Razzaque
2013), environmental activism, human rights protests and court cases remained ineffective for
years, until important shareholders (e.g., the Church of England and the Norwegian government)
decided to disinvest in the company, and the government withdrawn the clearances of the mining
project (Goodman et al. 2014; Iyer 2015). This case also highlights the possible role of
shareholder activism in promoting inclusive governance for energy, mining and infrastructure
development (Cundill et al. 2017; Goranova & Ryan 2014). See Supplementary Materials 6.5.5.
6.3.6.6 Promoting sustainable infrastructure
Due to an unprecedented explosion of infrastructure development, extensive areas of the planet
are being opened to new environmental pressures (van Dijck 2008; Balmford et al. 2016;
Johansson et al. 2016; Gallice et al. 2017; Kleinscroth & Healey 2017) as part of massive
infrastructure-expansion schemes—such as China’s One Belt One Road initiative (Laurance &
Burgues 2017; Lechner et al. 2018) and the IIRSA program in South America (Laurance et al.
2001; Killeen 2007). These new “development corridors”, including roads, highways,
hydroelectric dams and oil and gas pipelines come with high environmental and social costs,
including deforestation (Barber et al. 2014; Fernández-Llamazares et al. 2018), biodiversity loss
(Laurance et al. 2001, 2006, 2008; Pfaff et al. 2009; Benítez-López et al. 2010; Sloan et al.
2017), land grabbing (Toledo et al. 2015; Alamgir et al. 2017), social disruption (Mäki et al.
2011; Baraloto et al. 2015) and violation of IPLC customary rights (Fernández-Llamazares &
Rocha 2015; Martínez-Alier et al. 2016; Delgado 2017).
The total length of paved roads is projected to increase globally by 25 million kilometres in 2050
(Dulac 2013), with nine-tenths of all road construction occurring in developing countries
(Laurance et al. 2014). Given that new roads generate large ecological footprint (e.g., Laurance
et al. 2002, 2009), a viable and cost-effective way to avoid habitat loss in areas of high
conservation value, also including protected areas, is to keep them road-free by “avoiding the
first cut” (Caro et al. 2014; Laurance et al. 2014, 2015; Alamgir et al. 2017; Sloan et al. 2017;
Fernández-Llamazares et al. 2018). Another vital tactic is to use large-scale, proactive land-use
planning. Approaches such as the “Global Roadmap” scheme (Laurance & Balmford 2013;
Laurance et al. 2014) or SEA (Fischer 2007) have been successfully used to evaluate the relative
costs and benefits of infrastructure projects, and to spatially prioritize land-uses to optimize
human benefits while limiting new infrastructure in areas of intact or critical habitats (e.g.,
123
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
Laurence et al. 2018; Laurance et al. 2015; Balmford et al. 2016; Sloan et al. 2018).With many
roads becoming rapidly dysfunctional, investing in maintenance represents a more sustainable
option than road expansion (Wilkie et al. 2000; Burningham & Stankevich 2005; Luburic et al.
2012; Alamgir et al. 2017).
Infrastructure development related to renewable energy sources can adversely affect nature and
humans, decreasing the net benefits and sustainability of renewables (Drewitt et al. 2006; Cohen
et al. 2014; Lang et al. 2014; Drecshler et al. 2017). Life cycle assessment can help decision
makers choose the best renewable energy source for specific purpose. Along with EIA or SEA, a
landscape approach using geographical information systems can be applied to compare the
impacts of different energy scenarios on nature and NCP, by integrating various types of data
(Benedek et al. 2018; European Commission 2014; Jones et al. 2015). Resource extraction (e.g.,
rare earth, cobalt, lithium) for assembling electrical components of renewable energy production,
especially batteries and photovoltaics, will further increase and affect the environment (Fthenakis
2009; Larcher & Tarascon 2015). Sustainable mineral sourcing could be improved via global
governance which sets and monitors international targets (Ali et al. 2017). Geological
exploration plans considering the overlap between protected areas and the prevalence of mineral
resources (e.g., the MiBiD index) could further decrease the impact of mining on nature
(Kobayashi et al. 2014). Similarly, the negative impacts of energy-related infrastructure can be
mitigated through the use of land-use zoning to identify sensitive areas (e.g., Laurance et al.
2015; Balmford et al. 2016; Sloan et al. 2018) or through sensitive operating practices - e.g.,
turning off wind turbines when large numbers of soaring migratory birds are passing (Hüppop et
al. 2006; Allinson 2017).
Dams – producing hydropower, improving navigation or providing secure water supply (Nilsson
et al. 2005) – also have largescale landscape impacts (e.g., Belo Monte Dam in Brazil, Lees et al.
2016). More than 50,000 dams above 15 m height exist worldwide (Lejon et al. 2009), and
several examples point the significant negative impacts they have on nature and society (Tullos
2009; Finer & Jenkins 2012; Fearnside 2016; Dudgeon 2010; Chapter 4; Doria et al. 2017; Beck
et al. 2012), which are often not well mitigated (Zarfl et al. 2015; Poff & Schmidt 2016;
Winemiller et al. 2016; Latrubesse et al. 2017).
Despite their negative environmental and social impacts, dams may generate new benefits
(Menzie et al. 2012), such as create habitat for protected species, or function as a refuge under
climate change, making it difficult to cosider biodiversity trade-offs associated with decisions
about dam removal (Lejon et al. 2009; Beatty et al. 2017). While many studies show positive
effects of dam removal on biodiversity (e.g., O’Connor et al. 2015), others highlight unintended
risks and consequences, such as dispersal of invasive fish (Lejon et al. 2009), colonization of
non-native plants (Tullos et al. 2016) or spread of accumulated contaminants (O’Connor et al.
2015). Case studies also show that deliberations about dam removal tend to create situations
where locals become divided between environmental, economic, and cultural losses and gains
(Reily & Adamowski 2017). In sum, the complex consequences of dam-removal are unresolved,
and studies are typically not framed to inform management concerns that are context-specific
(Tullos et al. 2016). See Supplementary Materials 6.5.6.

6.4 Transformations towards Sustainable Economies
The publication of the IPCC special report on global warming of 1.5°C made clear that under
current development trajectories global warming will exceed 1.5°C during the coming two
decades (IPCC 2018). Similarly, it has become evident (this report; UN 2018) that achieving the
internationally-agreed 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and the 2050 Vision for
Biodiversity will require transformative change towards sustainable economies. This is the
context within which progress towards sustainable landscapes, marine and ocean systems,
freshwater management, urban systems, and energy and infrastructure are subsumed, and for
which they represent vital parts of the solution.
A plethora of definitions for a sustainable economy have been suggested (e.g., King & Slesser
1994; Bartelmus 1999; Pearce & Barbier 2000; Urhammer & Røpke 2013; Pullinger 2014;
Martin 2016). In the IPBES context it can be defined as an economy that does not produce the
indirect and direct drivers impinging on nature, nature’s contributions to people, and a good
quality of life, and account for the important role that telecoupling, trade, supply chains, and
producer-consumer interactions now play in our global system. This requires that economic,
social and technological indirect drivers and the patterns of production, supply, and consumption
that make up the economy respect ecological limitations and ecosystem integrity (Raworth 2015;
Bengtsson et al. 2018).
A sustainable economy must also provide more equitable access to the fruits of development and
quality of life (O’Neill et al. 2018). Some impacts on nature can be caused by poorer households
forced to exploit natural resources due to a lack of other economic options, although the poor are
often well aware of their dependence on nature and protect biodiversity (Martinez-Alier 2002).
Other data suggests that it is inequality in particular that may lead to negative impacts on the
environment as wealth concentrates among people who are not willing to pay for the
provisioning of public goods (Boyce 1994; Kashwan 2017). Policies aimed at reducing poverty
and inequality thus have the potential to be linked up with priorities for NCP conservation
(Johnson 1973). Rethinking what makes an economy sustainable thus will need to focus not only
on incorporating pluralistic values of nature, as this report has noted, but also rethinking what it
means to have a good quality of life, and how it links to nature and its contributions (Naeem et
al. 2016). The concept of an “adequate standard of living” as a human right derives from the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UN 1948). Policies to achieve a “social protection
floor” to protect this right include measures and institutional reforms to achieve both basic
income security and universal access to essential, affordable social services (UN 2018). These
aims could be combined with more nature-specific measures and attention in the 21st century,
such as including ideas about access to NCP as part of social protection measures.
Further, a sustainable economy must be one in which climate change causes and impacts are
addressed, to ensure that carbon emissions do not remain an environmental externality, that
globalization does not exacerbate the impacts of climate change, and that communities have
sufficient financial means to reduce vulnerability and adapt to forecasted changes (O’Brien &
Leichenko 2000; Stern 2006; Betzold & Weiler 2017). Failure to act now on reducing emissions
is likely to impose severe economic risks to economies around the globe (Stern 2006; Hsiang et
al. 2017), yet recent modelling notes the particular challenges of holding warming to 1.5 degrees
given strong economic inequality, high dependence on fossil fuels for global trade and transport,
125
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
and inadequate climate policies (Rogelj et al. 2018). While many policies have as their stated
goal a nexus of nature protection, climate mitigation or adaptation, and poverty reduction,
successes in this area are still difficult to find (Boyd et al 2007, Reynolds 2012, Caplow et al
2011, Lowlor et al 2013).
This transformation of the global financial and economic system towards sustainability is both
necessary and possible, as the current system increasingly reflects dominant power and
geopolitical interests rather than a commitment to sustainability and equity. Aichi Biodiversity
Target 4 calls for governments, business and stakeholders at all levels to take steps towards
“sustainable production and consumption”, as does SDG 12 (responsible consumption and
production) (Bengtsson et al. 2018) (section 6.4.2 and 6.4.3). International systems of trade and
national systems of positive and negative subsidies are also tools for achieving more sustainable
ends (section 6.4.1 and 6.4.4). Finally, there are alternative models of the economy (including
green growth and degrowth) to achieve a good quality of life without contributing to degradation
of nature and nature’s contributions to people (see section 6.4.5). There are a number of possible
options for decision-makers to begin to transform our economic system into a more sustainable
one, ranging from immediate short-term options and longer-term options that may take decades
or more to implement. Given the size and scope of the global economy, encompassing all levels
from local economic output of firms to global trade between nations, different options can be
applied at different scales, from individual consumers up to international institutions. This
section provides a review of these options (Table 6.8).

6.4.1 Reforming environmentally harmful subsidy and tax policies
Aichi Target 3 calls for the elimination, phasing-out or reform of incentives, including subsidies,
that are harmful to biodiversity. It is estimated that financial support to agriculture that is
potentially environmentally harmful amounted to USD 100 billion in OECD countries in 2015,
and that fossil fuel subsidies account for USD 345 billion globally (OECD 2017a). The amount
of finance mobilized to promote biodiversity is therefore conservatively estimated to be
outweighed by potentially environmentally harmful subsidies by a factor of 10. Other potentially
environmentally harmful subsidies that may also adversely affect biodiversity and ecosystems
include those that encourage overcapacity in the fishing and forestry sector, subsidies that
encourage urban sprawl, and the over-consumption of water.
Given the magnitude of these harmful subsidies, governments should consider the fiscal and
environmental implications of their policies and work to identify and assess both their direct and
indirect impacts on terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Many of these support policies were put in
place for other reasons, such as to maintain the economic viability of rural areas, but such
objectives can be achieved with policies that promote public goods, rather than the overexploitation of natural resources. Reducing harmful subsidies and increasing positive
environmental subsidies allows countries to compensate for the cost of adopting environmentally
friendly production and consumption behavior and by so doing, encourage such behavior.
Examples of positive subsidies with outcomes on biodiversity include grants to farmers who
construct contour bunds on steep slopes, which is a policy within both the US Conservation
Reserve program and the EU CAP (see Box 6.5).
Box 6.5: Positive Subsidies
128
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
The EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has long tried to use generally voluntary
schemes aiming at providing incentives to farmers to conserve and better provision
ecosystem services on their individual farmlands and prevent agricultural land degradation
(e.g. overuse of pesticides or tillage). Under CAP, farmers are required to make a five-year
obligation to use environmentally friendly farming practices (for example, conservation setasides, organic agriculture, low-intensity systems, integrated farm management; preservation
of landscape of high-value habitats and biodiversity, etc. (CDB 2015), and they receive
payments to cover the cost of these enhancements or income lost from doing so. However,
the agri-environmental payments of the CAP in particular are reported to have only a
moderate positive impact on biodiversity (e.g., Capitanio et al. 2016; Overmars et al. 2013;
Whittingham 2011; Kleijn et al. 2006; Primdahl et al. 2003) (see Ring et al 2018, section
6.5.2).
Agricultural subsidy policy reform has already taken place with success in some countries;
agricultural subsidies were reformed in Switzerland and New Zealand, and pesticide subsidies
were removed in Indonesia (OECD 2017c). Subsidy reform can be combined with other
measures, for example removing harmful subsidies from livestock production, imposing taxes,
and internalizing social and environmental externalities in food production costs (StollKleemann & Schmidt 2017). However, the full impact of removal of subsidies on biodiversity
and nature is not well understood, given the long time-lags necessary to judge such impacts.
In another example, removal of inappropriate subsidies to fossil fuel energy will help reduce
carbon emissions. Estimates of the global costs of subsidizing fuels from 2012 to 2015 range
between US$300-680 billion per year depending on accounting methods (Franks et al. 2018). G7
countries alone provided at least $100 billion annually in subsidies for the production and
consumption of oil, gas and coal, despite pledges from these countries to reduce them (Whitley
et al. 2018). Reducing energy subsidies and spending these funds instead on SDG would allow
many countries to go a long way towards meeting their domestic financing needs. For example,
Vietnam has annual per-capita fuel subsidies of US$35, which would cover an estimated one
quarter of funding needed to meet their SDG commitments (Franks et al. 2018) (see Figure 6.6).
India, Indonesia, and Mexico recently reduced their subsidies for transport fuels, and major
reforms of fuel or electricity prices are taking place in Argentina, Egypt, Iran, the Gulf Cooperation States, and Morocco (OECD 2017a; Rosas-Flores et al. 2017; Wesseh et al. 2016;
Bhattacharyya et al. 2017). Iran was able to end ecologically undesirable fuel subsidies by
instituting a universal dividend while phasing out subsidies (Tabatabai 2012), and subsidy
removal can result in opportunities for conservation and potential energy savings, as shown in in
Malaysia (Yusoff & Bekhet et al. 2016). China has also recently removed some energy subsidies
(Jiang et al. 2015; Lin et al. 2014; Lin & Li. 2012) reporting both economic and environmental
gains (Hong et al. 2013). The starting point for energy subsidy reform from these cases points to
the need to clearly define the policy objectives, understand the distribution of the costs and
benefits of subsidies, assess economic as well as social and environmental impacts, actively
promote the dissemination of information to stakeholders, and engage with all relevant parties
(Barg et al. 2006).

In the fisheries sector, subsidies have been estimated to be at least 13 billion per year (OECD,
2017b; Sala et al 2018). Many governments subsidize fishing by national fleets, often exceeding
the net economic benefit. Fisheries subsidy reform took place in Iceland, New Zealand and
Norway in the 1990s in attempts to reduce pressure on fishing stocks, but remains a problem in
many other countries and in particular in High Seas fishing. A recent review of High Seas fishing
found that without subsidies and low wages (often slave level labor), “more than half of the
currently fished high-seas fishing grounds would be unprofitable at present exploitation rates”
(Sala et al. 2018) (also see section 6.3.3.3.2).
International action can help countries become motivated to tackle subsidy reform, such as
through “informal international law” (Pauwelyn et al. 2012). They include declarations by the
leaders of the Group of Twenty (G20), the Group of Seven (G7), and the Asia-Pacific Economic
Cooperation (APEC) countries. SDG target 14.6 calls on countries to prohibit certain forms of
fisheries subsidies that contribute to overcapacity and overfishing, and Target 12.C makes a
similar appeal to phase out “inefficient fossil fuel subsidies”. The WTO has more stringent rules,
or “hard law” on controlling subsidies in general, and the Agreement on Agriculture has
stewarded a gradual reduction in the most trade-distorting support to the farming sector, but none
of these address environmental effects specifically. At the global level, there are calls for
130
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
streamlining positive renewable energy subsidies as well as involving global institutions like the
WTO and the UNFCCC in the energy subsidy reform (Cosbey & Mavroidis 2014; Rubini 2012;
De Bièvre 2017; van Asselt & Kulovesi 2017; Van de Graaf & van Asselt 2017).
Commonly cited obstacles for subsidy reform include concerns regarding impacts on
competitiveness and distributional impacts, including employment. However, ex-post empirical
analysis has found little evidence in this regard (OECD 2017c). Vested interests and political
acceptability can also present barriers to subsidy reform. Political economy insights from
successful biodiversity policy reform can shed light on how this transition can be achieved in
practice (OECD 2017c). These suggest the need to: act quickly when presented with windows of
opportunity that may be outside the influence of domestic policy makers and unrelated to the
environment (for example, human health); build alliances between economic and environmental
interests (e.g., when there are common interests between certain groups, even though the
motivations may not be); devise targeted measures to address potential impacts on
competitiveness and income distribution; build a robust evidence base on the social costs and
benefits of reform; and encourage broad stakeholder engagement (OECD 2017c; 2011).
Finally, ensuring compliance with fair tax policies can help ensure funding for biodiversity and
nature as well. Tax havens reduce the amount of financing available to governments for global
public goods provisioning, and provide bad actors with opportunities to avoid financial scrutiny,
reducing the impact of policies such as certification or supply chain monitoring (also see section
6.3.2). A recent study of tax havens found that 70% of known fishing vessels implicated in
illegal fishing are flagged in a tax haven, and that nearly 70% of foreign capital to the largest
companies raising soy and beef in the Amazon, prime drivers of deforestation, was channeled
through tax havens (Galaz et al. 2018).
6.4.2 Addressing Over- and Under-consumption
Over-consumption by households is a major driver of resource use and depletion, primarily in
housing, mobility and nutrition (Spangenberg & Lorek, 2002). Involuntary under-consumption is
synonymous with poverty and a lack of options, while overconsumption results from
unsustainable choices and practices. Overconsumption plays a major role in driving NCP loss
and is associated with higher carbon footprints (Ivanova et al. 2017). Reduced consumption is
thus also an imperative to meet the Paris Agreement climate targets, which are unlikely to be met
with resource efficiency or alternative energy sources alone (Alfredsson et al. 2018). Patterns of
over-consumption, however, vary greatly within and across global regions, with involuntary
under-consumption and poverty representing the reality of a significant portion of the world
population.
One basic misperception is that a better life is held to emerge from more consumption
opportunities. Instead, studies show human needs are limited and mostly non-material; they can
be satisfied with less resource consumption than usual in the affluent countries (Steinberger,
Roberts 2010) if suitable satisfiers are chosen (Max-Neef et al. 1989). Satisfaction with GQL has
been shown not to increase above a certain income threshold (Max-Neef 1995) and to be
131
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
decoupled from income and thus consumption thereafter (Layard 2005; Hoffman and Lee 2016)
(although the rich seem to be happier than the poor in most societies (Veenhoven 2010)).
Consumption-focused policies have a significant opportunity to complement other nature
conservation efforts (Igoe 2013; Isenhour 2014) with a resource conservation potential of
demand-side measures potentially matching supply side options (Cruetzig et al. 2016; Lazarus et
al. 2011), in particular when combined with policies to compensate for rebound effects (the
phenomenon where increased efficiency leads consumers to take that additional money and
increase consumption elsewhere) (Jackson 2005; Lorek & Spangenberg 2014). We here review
options for consumers, governments and the corporate sector.
Consumers’ action options: Grassroots and civil society organizations have advocated a wide
range of lifestyle modifications and shifts in consumer behaviors, often focusing on information
and education initiatives for affluent and environmentally conscious consumers, such as
generating pressures on corporations and governments by mobilizing the social norms of affluent
consumers (Conroy 2001) and engaging in the co-designing of products and services (Fuad-Luke
2008). Critics point out that these successes are often short lived and have done little to challenge
dominant consumption logics or practices. Furthermore, studies indicate that changing the
composition of consumption has limited effects on the overall environmental impact (Røpke
2001) and that it is reducing the level of resource consumption that reduces drivers of
environmental damage (Lorek 2010; di Giulio & Fuchs 2014; Lorek & Spangenberg 2014).
Already a number of consumers have chosen to reduce their consumption by practicing
‘voluntary simplicity’, often motivated more by lifestyle choices rather than concerns about
sustainability (McDonald 2015) and in conjunction with reducing their income and increasing
their leisure time and thus avoiding rebound effects (Freire-González et al. 2017). As such
changes are not easy in the current consumer society (Speck & Hasselkuss 2015), dedicated
policies are called for to make a resource-light, good life easier (Schneidewind & Zahrnt 2014;
Heindl & Kanschik 2016).
Government policy options supporting consumers: To influence conscious decisions, awarenessraising and information campaigns are viable options. However, the literature on their
effectiveness is unclear, particularly for the average consumer who may not share strong
environmental norms (Stern 2000; Spaargaren et al. 2013). An option to influence spontaneous
decisions is the choice architecture approach including nudging, i.e. offering pre-set default
options which in some cases had a strong influence on consumers’ propensity to make desirable
choices (Gsottbauer & van den Bergh 2011). Nudges can include tailored messaging or offer
peer comparisons, provide disclosures or warnings, create default rules, or use social norms
(Sunstein 2015; Lehner et al. 2015; Halker 2013; Olander & Thorgersen 2014). However,
nudging has been effective only if the required change of everyday life routines and the effort
required were not too onerous (Keller et al. 2016). There is also very little evidence that nonregulatory measures used in isolation, including nudges, are effective for biodiversity
conservation (Newton et al. 2013; Hobson 2013). Legislation and norms have the advantage of
132
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
binding all consumers for all kinds of decisions to the same standards, and to be implementable
in relatively short time. They range from broad ecological tax reforms to bans of single-use
disposable products, disincentives for travel or meat consumption, and public investments in
product service agreements or collaborative consumption networks. Many consumers favor the
removal of dangerous products from the market and a stronger role for governmental agencies in
protecting consumers over more choice (Isenhour 2011).
Taxing consumption: Many taxes on activities or products exerting negative (and often indirect)
effects on ecosystems and biodiversity rely either on the polluter-pay principle or on the user-pay
principle (Ekins 1999). Examples of these “green” taxes and levies can include:
• pesticide taxes, e.g. France, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, United States (OECD 2017a; Hogg
et al. 2014). However, moderate increases in the tax rate alone appear not to be sufficient to
reduce use (Sainteny 2011; Jacquet et al. 2011).
• Fee-based licenses for logging, fishing and hunting are price mechanisms to limit certain
detrimental mechanisms (Fisher et al. 2008).
• taxes on luxury and consumer goods have shown some success in reducing excess
consumption and raising money for other initiatives (Schor 2005).
• road and congestion charges, often in large cities like London and Stockholm, have been
shown to reduce transportation by single occupancy vehicles and lower carbon emissions
(Newberry 2005).
• carbon/energy/fuel taxes with the main motivation to mitigate climate change also reduce
environmental risks and threats to ecosystems (Ekins 1999).
• Eco-VAT. In Brazil, an ecological value added tax is paid to municipal governments (Farley
and Costanza 2010).
However, while these targeted fees and taxes, and VAT more generally, dampen consumption,
very few direct consumption taxes have been designed specifically in order to preserve nature
and NCP. Taxes can be combined with other economic instruments for these ends; for example,
revenues from taxes may be used to finance other biodiversity-conserving activities, like
protected areas (Farley and Costanza 2010; Raes et al. 2016). As no global assessment of the
effectiveness of these kinds of taxes is found in the literature, the evidence remains inconclusive
(Hogg et al. 2014). More empirical work on the experimental use of different taxation schemes
and their environmental outcomes is recommended.
Local and regional governments across the world are also investing in a wide range of programs
to encourage more resource-light consumption including elements of sufficiency such as hosting
repair cafes, materials exchanges/swaps, and innovating ‘collaborative consumption’ events like
tool lending libraries. Authorities have also indirect influences on consumption patterns and
levels: public transport planning can enhance the accessibility without car use, with positive
environmental and quality of life outcomes. Additionally, in most countries, public procurement
is the single largest purchaser of goods and services. This gives public authorities from the local
to international level the opportunity to strengthen sustainable suppliers and nudge others
towards greening their offers, by stimulating the demand for energy saving buildings, recycled
products or organic food, reducing the consumption of materials, energy and land and thus
133
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
mitigating several direct and indirect drivers of nature deterioration (Brammer & Walker 2011;
Lutz 2009).
Corporate action reducing consumption: Corporations and industry associations have responded
to consumer demand through sustainable sourcing practices and consumer awareness campaigns
in the interest of both resource protection and building brand loyalty. However, Williamson et al.
(2006) found that such voluntary approaches will not alter the behavior of manufacturing
enterprises significantly unless they have a positive effect on the bottom line, e.g. by reducing
resource or labor cost, ensuring employee morale (Jacobsen & Dulsrud 2007) or avoiding
regulation by pre-empting measures (Marsden & Flynn 2000). The research on such Corporate
Social Responsibility (CSR) programs tends to conceptual rather than empirical, except for some
labelling and certification programs (Carlson et al. 2018). See Supplementary Materials 6.6.1 for
a detailed discussion on addressing overconsumption.
6.4.3 Reducing unsustainable production
Several studies have shown that production systems focused on economic growth correlate with
increasing environmental impacts, both on micro/household and on macro/cross-national levels
(Hayden & Shandra 2009; Rosnick & Weisbrot 2007; EEA 2014; Ward et al. 2016). Policy
options include the setting of resource caps and taxes, transitioning to a circular economy,
corporate social responsibility, and using life cycle analysis as a policy support tool.
Resource caps and taxes: Resource caps and taxes are a way to limit the volume of resources
used or produced in production processes. Examples with positive environmental effects include
water extraction charges or energy sector charges (McDonald et al. 2012), e.g., car fleet gasoline
consumption limits as an obligation to manufacturers and public procurement. Caps and taxes
support transformative change as reducing supply modifies the competition rules in a market
economy, requiring companies to redesign products and business models by taking resource
limitations (and implicitly biodiversity aspects) into account alongside economic considerations
throughout the supply chain (Ayres 1989). A large number of studies have shown that avoidance
costs tend to be lower than damage and repair costs (Aslaksen et al. 2013; Gee et al. 2013;
Simberloff 2014, EEA 2017).
As one example, carbon pricing is currently in discussion as a possible way to spur development
of non-fossil fuel energy sources and reduce carbon emissions (Essl & Mauerhofer 2018); a
recent study found that while the potential to raise revenue from carbon pricing is highly variable
depending on country’s emission intensity and economic activity, many low income countries
could finance much of their needs to implement the SDG with a carbon pricing scheme starting
at $40/ton (Franks et al. 2018). To avoid disproportionate negative effects on producers and
resulting rises in prices, resource caps and taxes can be complemented with compensatory
measures, such as carbon dividends and subsidies to low income energy users.

Transitioning to a circular economy: The major aim of the Circular Economy (CE) is to
decouple economic growth and the deterioration of the environment (Ghisellini et al. 2016),
suggesting that economic prosperity and improved environmental quality can be achieved
together at the same time (Kirchherr et al. 2017) through technological, economic and social
innovations (Jesus & Mendonça 2017). There are many competing definitions about what the
circular economy is and how far it can be implemented at the micro (e.g. company, consumer),
meso (e.g. industrial park) or the macro (regional, national, global) level (Kirchherr et al. 2017).
According to a frequently cited definition, CE is “an industrial system that is restorative or
regenerative by intention and design. It replaces the 'end-of-life' concept with restoration, shifts
towards the use of renewable energy, eliminates the use of toxic chemicals, which impair reuse,
and aims for the elimination of waste through the superior design of materials, products, systems,
and within this, business models.” (Ellen MacArthur Foundation 2013: p7). Most discussions
about CE recognize that it may not be possible to make the economy fully circular. For example,
Figure 6.7 offers a representation of the CE that allows for raw materials input and residual
waste outputs.
135

CE is promoted in various countries worldwide (for examples, see Supplementary Materials
6.6.2). Nevertheless, consensus is still lacking on how far the global economy is progressing
towards a CE. Cooper et al. (2017) estimated that potential savings of energy used for economic
activities worldwide could reach 6-11%, while Haas et al. (2015) carried out a material flows
analysis on data from 2005 and estimated that the recycling within the economy as share of
processed material reached 6% globally and 13% in the EU. Reasons for these relatively low
numbers are thought to be the large proportion of non-recyclable fossil fuel and biomass material
throughput (Haas et al. 2015), and the accelerating production due to the rebound effect (Zink &
Geyer 2017). Other factors include policy and enforcement failures, consumer preferences, costs,
and infrastructure deficits (for details, see Supplementary Materials 6.6.2).
136

Corporate social responsibility (CSR): CSR initiatives are voluntary efforts by companies to
address social and environmental concerns arising from business activities (Robinson 2011;
European Commission 2011, Dyllick & Hockerts 2002; Baumgartner 2014; O’Connor &
Spangenberg 2008). CSR is used by sectors that are directly affected by the degradation of local
ecosystems and habitat loss (e.g. fisheries, agriculture, forestry, tourism) (Boiral & HerasSaizarbitoria 2017; Hastings & Botsford 2003; Pickering & Hill 2007) as well as sectors that are
indirectly affected through their globalized supply chains (Robinson 2011). The idea of CSR is
that companies have the potential and responsibility to make a substantial contribution to
arresting declines in biodiversity and ecosystems services (Armsworth 2010; Lambooy 2011;
Athanas 2005; 'Biodiversity in Good Company' Initiative https://www.business-andbiodiversity.de/en/about-us/).). The ultimate role of companies should be to identify, to be
transparent and accountable for their impacts (ISO 26000) (ISO 2010), and to develop strategies
to reduce negative and to maximize positive impacts. However, since the inception of the CBD
in 1992, little progress has been achieved in terms of involving the business community in
protecting biological diversity worldwide (Overbeek et al. 2013). For instance, most of the
Fortune 500 companies do not systematically record their activities regarding biodiversity and
ecosystems service management (Bhattacharya, 2013); a recent study found only 5 companies in
the Fortune 100 had specific and measurable commitments to biodiversity (Addison et al. 2018).
However, research suggests that business profits and good condition of biodiversity are often
correlated (Tilman et al. 2006; Worm & Barbier 2006; Bishop et al. 2008; Lambooy 2011) (see
also Supplementary Materials 6.6.2).
Using life cycle analysis as a policy support tool: Life cycle assessment (LCA) offers a method
for quantitatively assessing and evaluating the inputs, outputs, and potential environmental
impacts of a product system throughout its life cycle (ISO 2006a). It is widely applied by
companies (Frankl & Rubik 2000; Clift & Druckman 2015) to inform consumers (Del Borghi
2013) and for public policy making (Owsianiak et al. 2018). However, the inclusion of
biodiversity in LCA has been limited to specific species or has related factors such as climate
change or land use (Verones et al. 2017; Goedkeep et al. 2013; deBaan et al. 2013; Schenk 2001;
Penman et al. 2010; Curran et al. 2011; Koellner et al. 2013; Souza et al. 2015; Winter et al.
2017; Chaundhary et al. 2015; see Supplementary Materials 6.6.2). Several authors have
discussed options to incorporate ecosystem services into LCA (Zhang et al. 2010 a, b; Bakshi &
Small 2011; Koellner & Geyer 2011; Cao et al. 2015; Othoniel et al. 2016; Blanco et al. 2017;
Bruel et al. 2016) but so far with little progress. LCA approaches have a number of limitations,
as they present many choices and assumptions, are complex and require sufficient and
standardized data, provide a snapshot at a specific point in time which may be outdated by
innovation or modified supply chains by the time the data is used, and focus on reducing the
impacts per unit of consumption, not on reducing consumption levels themselves (Pré
Consultants 2006; Finkbeiner 2014; Galatola & Pant 2014).
6.4.4 Reforming trade regimes to address disparities and distortions
Key global commodities with negative impacts on nature are among the major items traded
internationally and subject to rules through the WTO and other regional and bilateral trade deals.
There is growing evidence that these trading rules often encourage overproduction or
unsustainable production, and that future markets can create pressures for expansion of
137
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
production in unsustainable ways (Pace & Gephart 2017; Bruckner et al. 2015). While
challenging, it is increasingly acknowledged that reforming trade systems and financial markets
is essential to controlling the impact of global economic drivers on nature.
Reforming the trade system: There are general concerns that trade liberalization contains
considerable risks for nature and the environment. For example, tensions have been identified
between WTO regulations, particularly the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT)
and environmental concerns. Documented cases focus on efforts to ban tuna from fisheries
operations and nations that do not implement dolphin conservation measures (Waincymer 1998)
or, similarly, to ban shrimp from fisheries operations and nations that do not implement turtle
conservation measures (Benson 2003). Other examples include domestic support for
multifunctional agriculture (see also 6.3.2) (Dibsen et al. 2009; Hasund 2013, Potter & Burney
2002; Potter & Tilzey 2007). Tensions have also been identified between the GATT and
biosecurity issues related to preventing diseases and invasive species from entering (Maye et al.
2012).
A different issue identified in literature is related to the WTO Agreement on Trade-Related
Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) (Brand & Görg 2003). While the potential of
WTO and other free trade agreements and WTO regulations to contribute to conservation and
sustainability is criticized (Waincymer 1998; Brand & Görg 2003), some suggest that the
inclusion of environmental provisions in TRIPS can prevent negative environmental impacts and
even promote conservation and good environmental practices (Neumayer 2000; Ivanova &
Angeles 2006). Opportunities within WTO have been identified in the Technical Barriers to
Trade (TBT) agreements and in Preferential Trade Agreements (Charnovitz 2007). Also, the
Geographical Indications (GI), part of TRIPS, can provide opportunities for conservation and
sustainability, but only if nature and biodiversity friendly practices are embedded in the GI
specification (Garcia et al. 2007).
While other regional or bilateral free trade agreements such as NAFTA include environmental
provisions, these have mostly been implemented in a narrow way and have not resulted in
significantly raised levels of environmental protection (Sanchez 2002). At the global level, WTO
has started to discuss environmental provisions as part of the Doha negotiations since 2001, but
negotiations were not successful and ended in 2016. Since then, bilateral trade agreements have
increased in importance, as have the intensification of ‘trade wars’. The consequences of this
situation for international cooperation, as well as for nature, its contributions and the quality of
life are yet to be determined.
Reforming derivative and futures markets: The increasing trade in futures and derivatives over
the past decade have been associated with outcomes that affect biodiversity. Futures and
comparable financial products such as derivatives are essentially contracts between buyers and
sellers of commodities that stipulate volumes, price and delivery date (Pollard et al. 2008).
Derivatives and futures turn variability into a credit risk that can be hedged against, traded, and
speculated on, and signal the ongoing commodification of new forms of nature (Smith 2007;
138
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
Cooper 2010). For example, climate and weather derivatives have emerged, seen as a flexible
and cost-effective way for companies to reduce risk and become more creditworthy (Pryke 2007;
Cooper 2010). While futures and derivatives contracts can offer potential income stability and
protection against risks, they are also an opportunity for speculation and hedging on price
movements which can lead to turbulence and price volatility (Cooper 2010). This means that,
when unregulated, these markets can pose a potential threat to sustainability and contribute to
social crises (Heltberg et al. 2012).
In the United States, home to the largest commodity futures markets, financial regulations
designed to prevent excessive levels of speculation by financial investors were in place for much
of the 20th century. These rules included reporting requirements as well as ‘position limits’ that
restricted the number of commodity futures contracts purely financial investors (also referred to
as ‘non-commercial operators’) could hold at any given time. Over the course of the 1980s to
early 2000s, these regulations were gradually relaxed (Clapp & Helleiner 2012). Following the
deregulation of the US futures markets, speculative investment in agricultural commodities
increased from US$ 65 billion in 2006 to US$ 126 billion in 2011 (Worthy 2011). It has been
suggested that this contributed in part to the 2007-2008 food crisis, as a number of observers
noted that food prices were rising more quickly and sharply than was warranted by the
underlying fundamentals of supply and demand for those crops at the time (e.g., FAO 2008).
Analysts identified speculative financial investment, including commodity index products
marketed to large institutional investors, as a potential factor in driving up food prices (Masters
2008; Ghosh 2010) with severe impacts on the quality of life in many countries (Ivanic & Martin
2008; Bellemare 2015). Although there is debate over the extent to which financial speculators
were responsible (see, for example, Sanders & Irwin 2010), several international organizations
have noted that financial speculation in agricultural commodity markets can make food price
trends more volatile (BIS 2011; UNCTAD 2011). Higher and more volatile food prices matter
for biodiversity because when food prices rise, investment in agricultural production also
typically rises, influencing land-use trends. At the height of food price volatility in the 20082013 period, there was a rush to increase production, especially of cereal crops such as wheat,
maize and rice, as well as oil crops such as soy (FAO 2017).
As commodity exchanges around the world, including in developing countries, develop to
include more sophisticated financial and investment products, it is important for them to consider
adopting regulations that seek to limit excessive financial speculation on those markets that can
affect biodiversity outcomes (FAO et al. 2011): for example, by putting limits on the number of
contracts per trader in each market (Ghosh et al. 2012) and by enhancing market transparency
(Clapp 2009; Minot 2014). In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, governments around the
world sought to tighten regulations on commodities futures markets with a view to reining in
speculative financial investments that could affect prices and destabilize markets (Helleiner
2018). In the United States, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act
authorized the adoption of new rules to strengthen the position limits and reporting requirements
to restrain excessive speculation. However, the substance of these rules has been weakened and
their implementation has been delayed following extensive lobbying and court challenges from
139
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
the financial industry. The European Union also developed more stringent regulations known as
Mifid II, but these rules were also weakened in the face of the financial industry. It is unclear
whether the new regulations in the US and EU, once fully implemented, will achieve their
intended effect, and their subsequent impact on agricultural outcomes that affect biodiversity.
6.4.5 New models for a sustainable economy
In recent decades, many have questioned the economic growth paradigm and its compatibility
not only with environmental sustainability but also achieving a good quality of life for all. The
challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss, in particular, underline that the scale of
economic activity has already pushed society out of the safe operating space of the planet
(Rockström et al. 2009; IPCC 2018). By detaching mainstream paradigms of unending economic
growth from economic and social relations, alternative ways of understanding human and
societal well-being have been proposed (Costanza et al. 2014; Cattaneo 2014; O’Neill 2012). A
central idea in these approaches is to decouple growth of the economy and enhancement of
human well-being from resource use and extraction. The most prominent models are the Green
Economy (also called Green Growth or Inclusive Green Growth, promoted by the OECD, UNEP
and EU), which builds upon earlier discussion on ecological modernization (Mol & Spaargaren
2000), and the model of (physical) Degrowth leading to a steady state economy (Daly 1974;
Denaria et al. 2013).
The core assumption of the Green Economy model is that increasing economic activity as well as
the generation of income and jobs can be achieved without becoming unsustainable. Key
strategies in this endeavor include increasing the efficiency of resource use by means of
technological and social innovations (York & Rosa 2003) and transitioning towards more
sustainable patterns of consumption (UNEP 2002). Other discussions highlight the possibilities
of substituting natural capital for human capital and human made capital (Pearce et al. 1989;
Pearce & Barbier 2000), while protecting a critical level of natural capital (Deutsch et al. 2003;
Ekins 2003).
The toolbox used in green economy policies typically includes a mix of regulatory (laws,
voluntary agreements), economic or market based (green taxes, credits, certification, subsidies,
offsetting, PES, circular economy) and informational instruments (labeling, consumer
campaigns), with an emphasis on the latter two. On the consumption side, Green Economy
strategies call for (voluntary) changes in consumption patterns towards the growth in production
and consumption of non-material or non-resource intensive goods and services. There are
however strong criticisms to this Green Economy concept arguing that the suggested measures
may indeed be indispensable, but not sufficient in the long term and that more fundamental
change is necessary (Victor 2008; Jackson 2009).
Degrowth, including the older idea of a steady state economy (Daly 1974), contests the necessity
of economic growth as a condition of human well-being and good quality of life. Foremost
amongst these is that for an economy to remain within ecological bounds, it must possess a
constant stock of physical capital at a level that can be maintained by material flows remaining
140
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
within the regenerative capacity of the ecosystem (Daly 1974). Only if economic output could be
decoupled from resource use, growth in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) would be consistent
with sustainability. Models of degrowth go beyond the physical steady state and advocate “an
equitable downscaling of production and consumption that increases human well-being and
enhances ecological conditions at the local and global levels, in the short and long-terms”
(Schneider et al. 2010:512). This implies reduced growth in the physical part of the economy and
as a result in the monetary or financial side (Spangenberg 2010). On the consumption side,
degrowth goes beyond greener consumption patterns by advocating for reduced consumption
levels overall.
Strategies for degrowth include limits on resource extraction, new social security guarantees and
work-sharing (reduced work hours); universal basic income and income caps (see Supplementary
Materials 6.6.3); consumption sufficiency, and resource taxes with affordability safeguards;
redistribution of wealth, support of innovative models of “local living”; commercial and
commerce free zones; new forms of money; high reserve requirements for banks; ethical
banking; green investments; cooperative property and cooperative firms (Eckersley Ro 2006;
Jackson 2009; Korten 2008; Latouche 2009; Spangenberg 2010; Klitgaard & Krall 2012;
Heikkurinen 2016; Samerski 2016). Already existing practices that adopt these models or parts
include eco-communities and villages, cooperatives, community currencies, time banking or
urban gardening (e.g., Cattaneo & Gavaldà 2010; Nierling 2012; 2010; Dittmer 2013; Xue 2014;
LeBlanc 2017; McGuirk 2017). In a degrowth strategy, these practices are integrated with
selected instruments from the green economy toolbox, like green taxes or consumer campaigns
(Kallis et al. 2012; Rigon 2017), but not others such as biodiversity banking due to reservations
against the commodification of nature (Gómez-Baggethun & Ruiz-Pérez 2011).
Evidence of the effectiveness of alternative models of the economy, including associated
strategies and practices, is inconclusive. Yet, existing evidence shows that current strategies and
practices have not accomplished a decoupling of economic growth from energy and materials
consumption over an extended time span (Chapter 2). Without an adjustment of orientations and
priorities, including an effective instrumentation of such policies, a sustainable economy is not
going to be achieved. These alternative models and associated strategies and practices offer
opportunities to promote nature and its contributions, recognize value pluralism (Pascual et al.
2017), and enhance inclusiveness as recognized in the SDG. An example of such a value
pluralist approach is the concept of Good Living (“Buen Vivir”), which means material, social
and spiritual well-being of people who live not at the cost of others or nature (Brand et al. 2017;
Beling et al. 2018). This concept of Good Living has been adopted in the Bolivian constitution,
calling for recognition of the rights of nature and holistic understanding (IPBES 2016; Pacheco
2014a, b), albeit with limited impact on the country’s neo-extractivist policy (Beling et al. 2018).
Other examples include the broad discussion on the transition to an “ecological civilization” in
China (Yan & Spangenberg 2018).
Since the GDP does not capture the state of the environment, biodiversity nature and its
contributions, and is not a measure of welfare in itself, the discussion of alternative models of the
economy has extended to the development of alternative measures to represent human well-being
and good quality of life (see Chapter 2). Some, like the Index of Sustainable Economic Welfare
(ISEW) (Daly & Cobb 1989) and the Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI) (Cobb et al. 1995), are
141
Unedited draft chapters 31 May 2019
based on GDP calculation; subtracting the “bads” like environmental degradation and
biodiversity loss in monetary terms and adding the “goods” not included in the GDP such as the
value of unpaid work. A comprehensive set of indicators for short and longer-term development
has been suggested by the Stiglitz-Sen-Fitoussi Commission set up by the French government
(Stiglitz et al. 2010). Another prominent measure is the Gross National Happiness Index,
introduced by the Bhutanese Government. This measure focuses on equitable social
development, cultural preservation and conservation of the environment (Verma et al. 2017).
Recently, local, regional and national governments, including different States in the US (see
Talberth & Weisdorf 2017 for an overview), and Belgium (Bleys 2013) have shown interest in
these measures.
Further innovations have been proposed in accounting systems to incorporate environment and
ecosystems. To this end, UN Statistics extended the international statistical system by satellite
accounts of physical flows and environmental goods, and in its latest version the value of
ecosystems and their services (https://seea.un.org/). This includes amongst others Material Flow
Accounting (MFA) and Material and Energy Flow Accounting (MEFA) (Bringezu et al. 1997;
Haberl et al. 2004) and Natural Capital (NC) assessment and accounting (Natural Capital
Coalition 2017). There is a wide variety in methods and approaches. Some of these focus on only
one ecosystem service or form of capital (for example carbon), some use formal accounting
methods and involve monetization, and again others use non-monetary units to quantify and
express environmental stocks and flows (Day 2013; Faccoli et al. 2016; Bateman et al. 2011;
Donnely et al. 2016; Agrawala et al. 2014; Robèrt 2002; Schmidt-Bleek 2008; Spangenberg et al.
1998; Dittrich et al. 2012; Ulgiati et al. 2011, Ayres et al. 1996; Steen-Olsen et al. 2012;
Giampietro et al. 2014; Lomas & Giampietro 2017; ten Brink 2012; UNU-UHDP and IHDP
2014) (see Supplementary Materials 6.6.3).
There is as yet no evidence of the effectiveness of the use of environmental accounting
approaches. As an information instrument, its effectiveness is based on the premise that more
information will result in better decision-making (Guerry et al. 2015; Mace et al. 2015) – a
premise that is largely unsupported (Caceres et al. 2016; Turnhout et al. 2013; Wesselink et al.
2013). Yet, as has been shown for other information tools such as models or indicators (Turnhout
et al. 2007; Van Egmond & Zeiss 2010; see Section 6.2.2), environmental accounting may be
helpful as a tool for the facilitation of dialogue on the diverse values of nature and biodiversity.
However, in order to enable this role, it is important that it uses a broad perspective that includes
non-economic values and that it employs a participatory approach so that relevant stakeholders
can contribute to the definition and identification of indicators for nature, ecosystem services,
environmental assets, and natural capital (Turnhout et al. 2007; Raymond et al. 2009).
6.4.6 Conclusions
The existing economic system of capital-intensive exploitation of nature, extensive international
trade and their telecouplings, and wide-ranging inequality between countries and between
peoples within countries, is not a system that is natural or to which there is no alternative. To the
contrary, such an economic system has evolved over time due to human interventions,
institutions, policy choices and options, and as such, can be transformed just as it was created.
The problem is often one of both recognizing the scope of the problem through sharing

information, implementing more inclusive and realistic economic accounting, as well as tackling
reforms to the system through gradual incremental changes like changing consumer behavior,
incentivizing different economic pathways, reducing production impacts, and reforming trade,
subsidies and markets or various kinds. More transformative options like creating circular
economies, moving to degrowth and steady-state economic paradigms, tackling inequality, and
revamping the way we finance and prioritize conservation of nature and biodiversity will require
concerted efforts from a range of decision makers, with national governments, private
corporations and international institutions leading the way. Designing such an integrated world
economy that values nature and its contributions in pluralistic ways, recognizes their long-term
importance to human quality of life, and rightfully prioritizes them as public goods above private
profit is a long-term vision that will require innovative, imaginative and adaptive ways to
transform our current economic and governance systems.
