Major challenges ;promoting sustainable development

Some of the major challenges to implementing
the Convention on Biological Diversity and
promoting sustainable development are:
• Meeting the increasing demand for biological resources
caused by population growth and increased
consumption, while considering the long-term
consequences of our actions.
• Increasing our capacity to document and understand
biodiversity, its value, and threats to it.
• Building adequate expertise and experience in
biodiversity planning.
• Improving policies, legislation, guidelines, and fiscal
measures for regulating the use of biodiversity.
• Adopting incentives to promote more sustainable
forms of biodiversity use.
• Promoting trade rules and practices that foster
sustainable use of biodiversity.
• Strengthening coordination within governments,
and between governments and stakeholders.
• Securing adequate financial resources for conservation
and sustainable use, from both national and
international sources.
• Making better use of technology.
• Building political support for the changes necessary
to ensure biodiversity conservation and sustainable use.
• Improving education and public awareness about
the value of biodiversity
