The color displayed on the map indicates how the country has assessed progress towards their national targets associated with the Aichi Biodiversity Targets. Where a country has more than one national target associated with an Aichi Biodiversity Target, the average of these assessments is used to generate the overall level of progress achieved towards the Aichi Biodiversity Target. This average value considers mapping to the “Main related Aichi Biodiversity Target” only. For the complete details on how a country has assessed progress towards its national targets, please see the sixth national report of the country.

The information presented in the pie chart and map above is drawn from the sixth national reports that have been submitted using the online reporting tool. Data from the sixth national reports that have been submitted “offline” in PDF are not integrated (the offline reports can be accessed at https://www.cbd.int/reports/).

Implementation Measures and Outcomes

Title
Colombia — A National Program on Sustainable Biocommerce (2011-2021) is being implemented. (NBSAP)
India — The Government of India has enacted the Companies Act 2013 which makes Corporate social responsibility (CSR) spending mandatory for every company with a net worth of 500 crore rupees or more, a turnover of 1000 crore Rs or more, or a net profit of 5 crore Rs or more during any financial year. Two percent of the average net profits made by the company during every block of 3 years are to be used for CSR activities. Ensuring environmental sustainability has been identified as one of the nine activities to be covered under CSR activities. (NBSAP)
Sudan — NBSAP 2015-2020 addresses 5 thematic areas (education, awareness and training; legislation; policies; conservation; sustainable use) for each of the following 7 biodiversity components: plant agrobiodiversity; forestry biodiversity; rangeland and livestock biodiversity; wildlife, marine and inland waters ecosystems; biotechnology and biosafety; invasive alien species; climate change impacts. Significantly, Sudan has set four targets to strengthen sustainable production and consumption under the respective action plans for: forest biodiversity; rangeland and livestock biodiversity; wildlife, marine and inland waters ecosystems; and biotechnology and biosafety. (NBSAP)
Yemen — The vision of NBSAP2 is to achieve a resilient, productive and sustainable socioecosystem by 2050. Under Strategic Goal 4 of the Action Plan 2015-2025, actions are planned to reverse the adverse impacts of production patterns on ecosystems through mainstreaming sustainable production into policies, plans, programs of the non-environmental sectors (industry, mining, manufacturing, and energy production). Baseline threats, responsible bodies and collaborators, budget and potential funding have been identified. (NBSAP)
Russian Federation — It is recognized that the concepts of sustainable development and green economy are relatively new to the country. However, positive actions are being carried out, including the mapping of a national target to ABT4 in the Strategy and Executive Plan for the Conservation of Biodiversity (2014) which states that “By 2020, at the latest, the government, business community and participating members at all levels have taken measures or implemented plans with the purpose of achieving sustainable production and consumption while not allowing for the results of natural resource use to damage ecological sustainability”. The topics of increasing ecological responsibility of businesses, enhancing political initiatives and mechanisms for the regulation and stimulation of new “green” practices were also discussed at the Saint-Petersburg Economic Forum in 2014. (NBSAP)
Brazil — NBSAP 2017 contains a 2020 national target mapped to achieving ABT4 which comprises 27 actions and associated objectives and indicators, and respectively identifies responsible federal, state and municipal governments and connected agencies and institutions, and possible implementation partners, including NGOs, academia and the private sector. Actions include the launching of the second cycle of the Action Plan for Sustainable Production and Consumption (PPCS) and the implementation of 'Priority Education for Sustainable Consumption' of the PPCS, continuation of the implementation of the Environmental Agenda in Public Administration (A3P) (through face-to-face and distance learning), and the management and monitoring of 100% of the federal forest concession contracts. (NBSAP)
Netherlands — The NBSAP is constituted by several policy plans, a main theme of which relates to sustainable supply chains. The Sustainable Trade Initiative, initiated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is committed to sustainable production and consumption and, together with the private sector, has resulted in various agreements (primarily agricultural) on sustainability. The most important chains relate to soy, palm oil, cocoa, coffee, tea, timber, biomass and vegetables, fruit and flowers. Among other related activities, the Netherlands continues to support the EU’s Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) Action Plan to combat trade in illegal logging and to improve forest management and enforcement in countries exporting to the EU. The “Green Deal”, signed in 2013 by representatives of the ministries of infrastructure, environment, economic and foreign affairs, companies from the construction, furniture and retails sectors, the Sustainable Trade Initiative, and Tropenbos (a not-for-profit environmental organization), provides a platform for exchanging knowledge and information on issues related to sustainable forest management and on the segments in the timber sector supply chain. (NBSAP)
United Republic of Tanzania — A Cleaner Production Center (CPCT) has been established to support capacity-building of local industries in adopting best available practices and technologies related to sustainable consumption and production. In addition, CPCT plays a major role in the promotion of regional cooperation and experience-sharing, particularly in relation to the African Roundtable on Sustainable Consumption and Production. (6NR)
Samoa — On track to achieve ABT4, Samoa’s ecological footprint is considered to generally be within sustainable levels, and there has been great investment in reforestation programs. Commercial logging is no longer a major threat to forest resources and there is a ban on timber export from Samoa. Samoa has an institutional framework and policies in place, such as the Forestry Act Management 2011, to guide sustainable production and consumption, with support from all relevant stakeholders. The ban on the importation of plastic is another major step forward towards sustainable consumption and production. (6NR)
Slovenia — Good practices include promotion of the 'Zero Waste Concept', adoption by Government of the updated Regulation on Green Public Procurement (2018), signs and schemes (such as ecolabels) to assist consumers in choosing inter alia organic agricultural products, foodstuffs, green tourist destinations, wood products from sustainably managed forests. In 2018, the Green Building Council Slovenia (GBCS) organized the third sustainable conference. The GBCS aims is to achieve sustainable construction using its own energy sources. (6NR)
Belize — Under the Fisheries Department, the Managed Access Program aims to sustainably manage marine resources, by incorporating activities to boost the scientific management of the resources through the proposed development of an Adaptive Management Framework and total allowable catch (TAC) for commercial species. In the forest sector, the Sustainable Forest Management Program, like the Managed Access Program, strengthens the mechanisms for the long-term management of forest resources. Mechanisms to closely monitor sustainable extraction and exportation of CITES species, such as rosewood and conch (among others), have been strengthened over the reporting period. Climate-smart technologies and mechanisms are being used within the agriculture sector. Within the tourism sector, there is a movement towards environmentally-friendly technologies (solar panels), new systems to reduce waste generated and the consideration of biodiversity and natural resources protection. (6NR)
Chile — A National Sustainable Consumption and Production Program (PNCPS), developed by the Interministerial Committee on Sustainable Consumption and Production, has been in place since 2016. The related National Action Plan 2017-2020 includes 12 action lines focused on: sustainable construction, sustainable tourism, sustainable food systems, responsible industry, consumer information, sustainable lifestyles and education, sustainable cities, sustainability in the public sector, and cross-cutting themes (sustainable small businesses, waste management, clean energy and energy efficiency, and water management). More than 500 initiatives, including the public sector, private sector and civil society organizations, have been registered and examined in relation to the program. (6NR)
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines — Significant action is being taken to encourage Vincentian consumers to consume local foods, with a focus on safety, wholesomeness, and nutritional value. Related strategic actions are outlined in the National Economic and Social Development Plan. Promoting the consumption of local foods not only supports local farmers and encourages diversification of the agriculture sector, it also contributes to reducing the country's food import bill, food miles, and ecological footprint. (6NR)
France — On track to achieve ABT4, related best practices include inter alia adoption of the Energy Transition Law for Green Growth (2015), preparation of the Roadmap for a Circular Economy and the National Green Transition Strategy for Sustainable Development 2014-2020, and the development of the organic farming sector. As of March 2018, France had the most European ecolabel companies in the European Union (approximately 4,800 eco-labelled products). The consumption of organic products exceeded EUR 8 billion in 2017. (6NR)
