The Biodiversity Bargain

At a time when the world is struggling to combat climate change, sustain a growing global population, and find decent jobs for millions of young people, investing in forests and biodiversity represents a root and branch response to these multiple challenges. But it requires more ambitious and wider public- and private-sector support.

NAIROBI – What will it cost to save the world’s forests and boost the life prospects of its seven billion people? In a few days, India will host a meeting in Hyderabad of the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity. The assembled countries will consider how to raise the resources necessary to achieve the ambitious Aichi Biodiversity Targets, adopted two years ago at the last such meeting in Japan.
