GBO-4: A mid-term
assessment of
progress towards the
implementation of
the Strategic Plan for
Biodiversity 20112020
Paul Leadley
Professor,
Univ. Paris-Sud,
Coordinator of Technical Report
on behalf of the contributors to
GBO-4
Scope of the Global Biodiversity Outlook 4
GBO-4 addresses four questions:
1. Are we on track to reach the Aichi Targets by 2020?
2. What actions need to be taken to achieve the Aichi Targets?
3. How do the Aichi Targets and progress towards them position
us to attain the 2050 Vision of the Strategic Plan?
4. How does implementation of the Strategic Plan and progress
towards the Aichi Targets contribute to broader development
goals?

Conclusions
• Progress is being made towards reaching the majority of the Aichi Targets.
• However, this progress is insufficient to attain most of the Aichi Targets by 2020,
meaning that a redoubling of efforts is needed.
• Despite considerable progress in a wide range of actions to improve the status of
biodiversity and ecosystems, most indicators of the status of biodiversity continue to
decline, in part due to persistent increases in pressures.
• Examples of coordinated national actions show that treating multiple drivers and
multiple targets can lead to improvements of biodiversity status.
• Scenarios show that it is possible with strong, concerted action to couple
improvements in the status of biodiversity, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and
improve the well-being of all people.
