A guide to applying Human Rights Based Approaches to the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework offers important guidance to turn the global agreements to concrete actions. Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) have agreed that the “implementation of the Framework should follow a human rights-based approach, respecting, protecting, promoting and fulfilling human rights”.
This guide provides additional support and concrete examples for Parties and decision-makers, non-state actors, rights holders, and for duty bearers, on how to meet this commitment to embed a human rights-based approach (HRBA) in the implementation and monitoring of the Global Biodiversity Framework at national and sub-national levels.
It prioritizes clear information on relevant human rights standards and norms, and practical steps for how these norms can be translated into national and sub-national decision-making, taking into account the diversity of cultural, social, political and economic circumstances.
