Aichi Biodiversity Target 1 and CEPA
Among the many barriers to achieving the objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity, and of the other biodiversity-related conventions, the lack of public awareness on the importance of biodiversity ranks as one of the most serious. Without an awareness of the importance of biodiversity to human well-being, citizens and stakeholders are not likely to take the steps needed to mainstream biodiversity considerations into their daily lives and practices. The lack of public awareness also contributes to the relatively low political priority given to biodiversity issues.
The Convention’s Communication, Education and Public Awareness (CEPA) programme is an important instrument for this target. The establishment of the
United Nations Decade on Biodiversity
by the United Nations General Assembly represents an opportunity, throughout the implementation period of the
Strategic Plan
, to link national awareness raising activities with a broader international process as a means of developing greater visibility and traction for such actions. Likewise the
International Day for Biodiversity
, on 22 May, provides a similar opportunity.

Exploring mechanisms for promoting behavior change in the conservation field
“Awareness does not make people change their behaviors.” Dr. Stanley Asah of the University of Washington made this bold statement at a side event at
WGRI5
in Montreal, Canada. Watch his (interactive) presentation on
