A focus on Global Biodiversity Framework Target 7: Approaches to pollution Dr Christoph Neumann analyses the Global Biodiversity Framework Target 7, and explains the need for a qualified risk-based approach to pollution from the COP15 convention. The key outcome of the COP15 Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) meeting in December 2023 in Montreal was adopting the Global Biodiversity Framework. Target 7 of the Global Biodiversity Framework, as adopted, reads as follows: “Reduce pollution risks and the negative impact of pollution from all sources, by 2030, to levels that are not harmful to biodiversity and ecosystem functions and services, considering cumulative effects, including:” (a) “reducing excess nutrients lost to the environment by at least half including through more efficient nutrient cycling and use;” (b) “reducing the overall risk from pesticides and highly hazardous chemicals by at least half including through integrated pest management, based on science, taking into account food security and livelihoods; and also” (c) “preventing, reducing, and working towards eliminating plastic pollution.” (1)
