Goal 5
Goal 5
Implementation of CMS is supported by effective governance, including use of best available science and information, and collaborative working.
Targets
By 2029, Parties have mechanisms in place, including national legislation and enforcement mechanisms where relevant, to fully implement the Convention, its Resolutions and Decisions. Explanation: Parties can demonstrate that they have national legislation, policies and plans in place that enables them to fully implement the obligations under CMS, especially Articles III and IV. Furthermore, Parties can provide evidence of comprehensive and effective enforcement of the legislation.
By 2029 and beyond, all Parties inform the COP, through National Reports, of measures taken to implement the Convention, its Resolutions and Decisions. Explanation: Parties commit to completing National Reports each triennium, and actively contribute to improving the National Reporting process to ensure the best availableinformation on the state of implementation of the CMS mandate. This information is compiled and used for prioritization and adaptation of CMS initiatives for migratory species conservation.
Parties use best available science as the basis for evidence-based advice and decision-making to address the conservation of migratory species,their habitats and threats under CMS. Explanation: Parties commit to use the best available science for decision-making and share information to ensure adequate implementation of the CMS mandate. Through the COP and its subsidiary bodies, Parties collaboratively ensure there is adequate monitoring of the implementation of the CMS mandate and agree to modify, improve or cancel existing initiatives based on best available science, with the aim of increasing their efficiency and impact.
By 2032, CMS provisions are included in relevant national planning processes and policies for the benefit of migratory species and the ecosystem services they provide. Explanation: The Convention’s mandates, provisions and agenda are incorporated into national legislation frameworks and strategies relevant to migratory species (e.g., NBSAPs and NDCs).
By 2029, Parties work collaboratively with other governments on actions and initiatives to implement CMS, its Resolutions and Decisions and associated guidance. Explanation: Parties collaborate with other governments through joint concerted actions, species listing proposals and other collaborative actions to implement CMS, its Resolutions and Decisions and associated guidance.

Target 1: Plan and Manage all Areas To Reduce Biodiversity Loss:
Ensure that all areas are under participatory, integrated and biodiversity inclusive spatial planning and/or effective management processes addressing land- and sea-use change, to bring the loss of areas of high biodiversity importance, including ecosystems of high ecological integrity, close to zero by 2030, while respecting the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities.
Target 5: Ensure Sustainable, Safe and Legal Harvesting and Trade of Wild Species:
Ensure that the use, harvesting and trade of wild species is sustainable, safe and legal, preventing overexploitation, minimizing impacts on non-target species and ecosystems, and reducing the risk of pathogen spillover, applying the ecosystem approach, while respecting and protecting customary sustainable use by indigenous peoples and local communities.
Target 14: Integrate Biodiversity in Decision-Making at Every Level:
Ensure the full integration of biodiversity and its multiple values into policies, regulations, planning and development processes, poverty eradication strategies, strategic environmental assessments, environmental impact assessments and, as appropriate, national accounting, within and across all levels of government and across all sectors, in particular those with significant impacts on biodiversity, progressively aligning all relevant public and private activities, and fiscal and financial flows with the goals and targets of this framework.
Target 16: Enable Sustainable Consumption Choices To Reduce Waste and Overconsumption:
Ensure that people are encouraged and enabled to make sustainable consumption choices, including by establishing supportive policy, legislative or regulatory frameworks, improving education and access to relevant and accurate information and alternatives, and by 2030, reduce the global footprint of consumption in an equitable manner, including through halving global food waste, significantly reducing overconsumption and substantially reducing waste generation, in order for all people to live well in harmony with Mother Earth.
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.
Goal 12: Responsible consumption and production:
Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns.
Goal 14: Life below water:
Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development.
Goal 15: Life on land:
Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss
Goal 16: Peace, justice and strong institutions:
Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels.
Goal 17: Partnerships for the goals:
Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development.
