Goal 4

Implementation of CMS is supported by adequate knowledge, capacity and resources.
Strategic Plan for Migratory Species 2024-2032

Targets

By 2029, Parties have access to relevant information and evidence-based guidance to effectively implement the Convention, its Resolutions and Decisions. Explanation: Parties play a key role in providing information at a national scale, but this can also be supported by the CMS Secretariat, through facilitation of the State of the World’s Migratory Species report and other knowledge products, if resources are available. The availability of this information is critical for decision-making and implementation of the CMS, its Resolutions and Decisions and associated guidance.Parties are able to understand and analyse the best available science and information on species, habitats and ranges in a way that enables them to prioritize and collaboratively take effective conservation action.
By 2029, Parties have the technical capacity needed to effectively implement the Convention, its Resolutions and Decisions. Explanation: Parties identify, with the support of the Secretariat and the Scientific Council, the capacity-building activities needed to ensure implementation of the CMS, its Resolutions and Decisions and associated guidance. This can include Party-to-Party support or CMS Secretariat-led support, if possible, and should focus on the use of innovative and cost-effective methods that can be applied globally.
By 2029, Parties have mobilized or secured resources to implement the Convention, its Resolutions and Decisions. Explanation: There are sufficient resources available to implement the actions contained in CMS, its Resolutions and Decisions and associated guidance. This includes identifying and agreeing an estimation of the costs associated with developing, implementing and monitoring new CMS instruments and initiatives, so as to ensure their cost-effectiveness and long-term viability.

Substantially and progressively increase the level of financial resources from all sources, in an effective, timely and easily accessible manner, including domestic, international, public and private resources, in accordance with Article 20 of the Convention, to implement national biodiversity strategies and action plans, mobilizing at least $200 billion per year by 2030, including by: (a) Increasing total biodiversity related international financial resources from developed countries, including official development assistance, and from countries that voluntarily assume obligations of developed country Parties, to developing countries, in particular the least developed countries and small island developing States, as well as countries with economies in transition, to at least $20 billion per year by 2025, and to at least $30 billion per year by 2030; (b) Significantly increasing domestic resource mobilization, facilitated by the preparation and implementation of national biodiversity finance plans or similar instruments according to national needs, priorities and circumstances; (c) Leveraging private finance, promoting blended finance, implementing strategies for raising new and additional resources, and encouraging the private sector to invest in biodiversity, including through impact funds and other instruments; (d) Stimulating innovative schemes such as payment for ecosystem services, green bonds, biodiversity offsets and credits, and benefit-sharing mechanisms, with environmental and social safeguards; (e) Optimizing co-benefits and synergies of finance targeting the biodiversity and climate crises; (f) Enhancing the role of collective actions, including by indigenous peoples and local communities, Mother Earth centric actions and non-market-based approaches including community based natural resource management and civil society cooperation and solidarity aimed at the conservation of biodiversity; (g) Enhancing the effectiveness, efficiency and transparency of resource provision and use.
Target 20: Strengthen Capacity-Building, Technology Transfer, and Scientific and Technical Cooperation for Biodiversity:
Strengthen capacity-building and development, access to and transfer of technology, and promote development of and access to innovation and technical and scientific cooperation, including through South-South, North-South and triangular cooperation, to meet the needs for effective implementation, particularly in developing countries, fostering joint technology development and joint scientific research programmes for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and strengthening scientific research and monitoring capacities, commensurate with the ambition of the goals and targets of the Framework.
Target 21: Ensure That Knowledge Is Available and Accessible To Guide Biodiversity Action:
Ensure that the best available data, information and knowledge are accessible to decision makers, practitioners and the public to guide effective and equitable governance, integrated and participatory management of biodiversity, and to strengthen communication, awareness-raising, education, monitoring, research and knowledge management and, also in this context, traditional knowledge, innovations, practices and technologies of indigenous peoples and local communities should only be accessed with their free, prior and informed consent, in accordance with national legislation.
