Biodiversity and strategy

Biodiversity conservation calls for a revolutionary approach to our
relationship with nature and the living world. But it also requires completely
rethinking the way we develop international policies and strategies. While
these instruments must deal with a highly complex reality, they are too often
viewed as simple action plans. Measures and initiatives that are focused on
mainly technical solutions eventually result in unfortunate setbacks when the
often unpredictable and ever-changing dynamics of life come into play.

The United Nations Biodiversity Conference (COP15) was held in 2022, and
despite the adoption of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, it
failed to produce a truly innovative approach to international 'strategy'. It
is therefore more necessary than ever to reconsider the official diagnosis
that underpins international action. Although certainly difficult, this can be
done by mobilising a wide range of expertise from different scientific
communities.

Drawing on numerous examples and a wealth of research from the humanities,
social sciences and conservation sciences, this book offers a profoundly
renewed strategic diagnosis as well as levers for activating regenerative
processes to benefit the living world.
