REPORT OF THE international conference on biological and cultural diversity for development

Montreal, 8-10 June 2010

Background

1. A number of decisions arising from the ninth meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP 9), request the Executive Secretary of the Convention on Biological Diversity to strengthen cooperation with relevant processes and conventions, and in particular decision IX/27 on Cooperation among multilateral environmental agreements and other organizations, requests the Executive Secretary in paragraph 8. to continue to liaise with the conventions, organizations and initiatives with which the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity has already signed or is in the process of signing memoranda of cooperation, including in particular the 2003 UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage and the 2005 Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions, with a view to advancing implementation of the Convention in accordance with the decisions of the Conference of the Parties, including the development of joint activities as appropriate.

2. Building on this decision, the International Conference on Biological and Cultural Diversity – for Development (ICBCD), is a joint initiative by the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity, UNESCO, the Canadian Commission for UNESCO, and the University of Montreal and supported by the International Economic Forum of the Americas. The Government of Canada and the Government of Quebec were also proud sponsors of the event. The report of the meeting herein is made available as an information document to the tenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP 10) and the joint work programme along with the draft decision which introduces it and which appears in annex I, will be considered under the item Cooperation with other conventions and international organisations.

Introduction

3. The International Year of Biodiversity (IYB 2010) provides an effective point for reinforcing the implementation of the three objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity. These three objectives also highlight the linkages between biodiversity as the core of sustainable development promoting human well-being. This is a golden moment to also promote the recognition of the inextricable links between biodiversity and cultural diversity, particularly as 2010 is also the International Year of Rapprochement of Cultures (IYRC). The IYRC aims to promote reciprocal knowledge exchange of cultural, ethnic, linguistic and religious diversity and to foster dialogue for sustainable development based on recognition of and respect for knowledge, including traditional knowledge, and the knowledge of indigenous peoples and local communities.

4. 2010 can thus be seen as the Year that celebrates the diversity of life on earth in all its forms but also 2010, raises the alarm over the unprecedented changes its main biological and cultural components are currently facing. From genes, species, ecosystems, landscapes and seascapes, to languages, practices, traditions, artistic expressions and belief, value and knowledge systems, these diversities are facing unprecedented changes, and most importantly loss. The impact of reduction in bio-cultural diversity on the resilience of the planetary systems is profound. In the current global change context, the loss of biological diversity, with the simultaneous loss of languages, knowledge systems, and specific ways of life, has resulted in new challenges for coupled social-ecological systems.

5. To address these challenges, it is critical that the links between biological and cultural diversity - encompassing, inter alia, languages as repositories of knowledge and practices, tangible and intangible heritage related to nature, modes of subsistence, economic and social relations and belief systems – are taken into consideration in policy development at all scales.

6. Because of their respective mandates, the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and UNESCO’s Conventions and Programmes dealing with biological and cultural diversity are in a unique position to focus attention on the links between biological and cultural diversity at especially international levels. The recent coming into force of the 2003 UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage and the 2005 UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions underlines the value in strengthening the ties between the work of UNESCO and that of the CBD at the interface of biological and cultural diversity. It is in this context that the present International Conference on Cultural and Biological Diversity: Diversity for Development- took place.

7. The main objectives of the Conference were:

a) To bring together civil society, representatives of indigenous and local communities, policy makers, scientists and intergovernmental and development cooperation agencies,

b) To exchange knowledge and practices linking biological and cultural diversity; and

c) To provide elements for a programme of work to be jointly implemented by UNESCO, the SCBD and other partners.

Call upon Governments and Parties to all the relevant Conventions, including the 1972 World Heritage Convention, 1992 Convention on Biological Diversity, the 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage and the 2005 Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions, as well as inter-governmental and non-governmental organizations, academia, indigenous peoples and local communities, the private sector and civil society, to strengthen collaboration and coordination and to adopt, contribute to and support the joint programme between the SCBD and UNESCO on the links between biological and cultural diversity.

joint programme between UNESCO and the SCBD

Vision

A world in which the global community sustains biological[1] and cultural diversity[2] for present and future generations.

Mission

With the CBD acting as global focal point for biodiversity[3] and UNESCO acting as global focal point for cultural diversity, strengthen the linkages between biological and cultural diversity initiatives, and enhance synergies between interlinked provisions of conventions and programmes dealing with biological and cultural diversity at relevant scales.

Timeframe: To 2020 with mid-term review at the end of 2015, to also contribute to the Millennium Development Goals.

General Principles for the Implementation of the Joint Programme

▪ Full and effective participation of all relevant actors, and in particular indigenous and local communities in the establishment and implementation of the joint programme.

▪ Collaborative engagement of policy and decision makers, governmental and non-governmental organizations, academia, private sector and civil society in both rural and urban contexts.

▪ A holistic approach consistent with cultural and spiritual values, worldviews and knowledge systems and livelihoods that contribute to conservation and sustainable and equitable use of biodiversity.

Specific Objectives

1. To build bridges between ongoing work on biodiversity and cultural diversity where such bridges are relevant and do not already exist.

2. To promote synergies and information sharing among already existing programmes, projects and activities that focus on links between biological and cultural diversity.

3. To further explore conceptual and methodological issues related to the links between biological and cultural diversity and the role of indigenous peoples and other communities in enhancing those links.

4. To promote the collection, compilation and analysis of information from on-the ground activities linking biological and cultural diversity from, among others, biosphere reserves and World Heritage sites, and from the experiences provided by indigenous and local communities.

5. To support and foster learning networks on bio-cultural approaches, linking grassroots and community initiatives with local, national, regional and global policy processes.

6. To raise awareness about the importance of interdependent biological and cultural diversity in resource management and decision-making processes as well as for the resilience of socio-ecological systems.

Key Action Points

Building bridges between legal instruments

▪ Finalize in-depth analysis of the provisions linking cultural and biological diversity under the CBD and UNESCO culture related Conventions.

▪ Analyze and provide recommendations for the implementation of the interlinked provisions of the CBD and UNESCO culture related Conventions in a mutually reinforcing and coordinated manner.

▪ Collaborate with other international programmes and legal instruments towards the protection of the interdependent biological and cultural diversity.

Building the knowledge base

▪ Building on the existing scientific, local and indigenous knowledge, develop robust interdisciplinary conceptual and methodological frameworks for addressing the links between biological and cultural diversity.

▪ Develop a set of guiding principles, including ethical principles, for future research, management, practice and policy work to sustain the interdependent biological and cultural diversity for present and future generations.

▪ Advance knowledge on the ways in which cultures have shaped and continue to shape biodiversity in sustainable way (e.g. cultural landscapes, traditional agricultural systems, sacred sites, culturally significant species and urban biodiversity).

▪ Synthesize and advance knowledge on contemporary processes that simultaneously impact biological and cultural diversity and the responses to address those processes and their impacts.

▪ Support the development of indicators and other means of measuring status, trends and values of diversity, including linguistic diversity by building and maintaining expert networks, providing platforms for the exchange and sharing of information.

▪ Promote inter-cultural and inter-faith dialogues on the links between biological and cultural diversity.

Raising awareness and educating

▪ Develop communication materials and other tools to raise awareness on the importance of the links between biological, cultural and linguistic diversity, for human well-being and environmental sustainability.

▪ Promote and develop multilingual and intercultural education as well as non-formal intergenerational transmission of knowledge on links between biological and cultural diversity in the framework of the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development.

▪ Develop education kits for students as well as local decision makers, including in cities and urban environments.

▪ Promote the use of UNESCO chairs for further systematic study of the links between biological and cultural diversity.

Acting

▪ Mainstream principles and knowledge about the interdependence of biological and cultural diversity in the relevant CBD’s Programmes of Work and UNESCO’s Conventions and Programmes, including in the management of UNESCO biosphere reserves and World Heritage sites.

▪ Launch pilot projects in appropriate sites, including in biosphere reserves and World Heritage sites, to apply the knowledge on the links between biological and cultural diversity in equitable management and governance practices.

▪ Support indigenous and local communities to assess the possible challenges relating to implementation of the interlinked provisions of the CBD and UNESCO culture related Conventions and make recommendations for improving their full and effective participation in the implementation of these provisions.
