Biodiversity and ecosystems transition plan

A biodiversity and ecosystems transition plan is an aspect of an organisation’s overall business strategy that lays out the organisation’s goals, targets, actions, accountability mechanisms and intended resources to respond and contribute to the transition implied by the Global Biodiversity Framework, where:

(a) biodiversity loss is halted and reversed by 2030; and

(b) biodiversity is valued, conserved, restored and wisely used, maintaining ecosystem services, sustaining a healthy planet and delivering benefits essential for all people by 2050. Biodiversity can also be part of an undertaking’s broader transition plan. It should respect human rights and, among others, can include the identification and management of synergies and trade-offs with other transition plan objectives, including any response and contribution to the transition implied by the Paris Agreement (transition plan for climate change mitigation).
