The 14th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) meets in November 2018 against the backdrop of ever-increasing biodiversity loss. The Aichi Goals, adopted in 2010 for implementation until 2020, will not be achieved. Global governance of biodiversity must therefore be given a new lease of life, and define the tools that will enable States to reduce or even eliminate pressures and threats to biodiversity. The first step is to build a new framework for action at the international level, in the short and long term. This is the subject of negotiations that begin at COP 14 and which should come up with an agreement in 2020 at COP 15. This Issue Brief proposes different possible legal options for this post-2020 framework, which have various implications in terms of the legal strength and architecture of the CBD regime, and therefore potentially for its implementation.
