FN - Förenta nationerna

Mål

Framtagandet av de Globala målen har letts av FN:s 193 medlemsstater. Processen har varit den mest transparenta i FN:s histo­ria och har genomförts tillsammans med representanter från regeringar, näringslivet, forskare och aktörer från civilsamhället.

Arbetet med att genomföra de Globala målen följer tre viktiga principer:

• Målen är universella, vilket innebär att de gäller alla världens länder, och att alla länder harr ett gemensamt ansvar för genomförandet.
• Målen är integrerade och odelbara, vilket betyder att inget mål kan nås utan framgång inom ett annat – därför behövs alla mål för att agendan ska kunna uppnås.
• Ingen ska lämnas utanför! Det innebär att de Globala målen ska genomföras med särskild hänsyn till de människor och samhällen som har sämst förutsättningar, alla ska med i utvecklingen.

Världens ledare har genom Agenda 2030 förbundit sig till 17 globala mål för att uppnå fyra fantastiska saker till år 2030.

• Att avskaffa extrem fattigdom.
• Att minska ojämlikheter.
• Att lösa klimatkrisen.
• Att främja fred och rättvisa.

Med sina 17 mål och 169 delmål är Agenda 2030 den mest ambitiösa överenskommelsen för hållbar utveckling som världens ledare någon­sin har antagit.

De Globala målen är integrerade och odelbara och balanserar de tre dimensionerna av hållbar utveckling: den ekonomiska, den sociala och den miljömässiga.

Syftet är att höginkomstländerna ska ta täten i en global omställning till hållbar konsumtion och produktion som en del av Agenda 2030.

Att tillsammans verka för:

• En effektivare resursanvändning
• Frikoppla ekonomisk tillväxt och negativ miljöpåverkan
• Att avfallsmängderna och spridningen av farliga ämnen minskar
• Att det skapas goda förutsättningar för jobb och ekonomisk utveckling
• Att utvecklingen bidrar till minskad fattigdom och ökad välfärd

Målen är att:

• Uppmuntra till hållbar konsumtion och produktion
• Öka kunskapen i samhället generellt om behovet att säkerställa hållbar konsumtion och produktion
• Öka samarbetet och erfarenhetsutbytet mellan aktörer och regioner, särskilt med tanke på behov i utvecklingsländer
• Uppmuntra samverkan mellan offentligt och privat
• Uppmuntra offentliga och privata beslut som gagnar hållbar konsumtion och produktion.

Naturvårdsverket är Sveriges kontaktpunkt i One Planet Network.
Det innebär att vara en samlingspunkt för Sveriges arbete med att implementera 10YFP bland annat genom att rapportera vad regeringen och svenska myndigheter gör för att katalysera omställningen till hållbar konsumtion och produktion. Vi lyfter fram goda exempel på styrmedel och åtgärder och delar svenska erfarenheter inom One Planet Network.

Globala samverkansprogram inom One Planet Network

Samverkan mellan länder, näringsliv, NGO:s, myndigheter, regioner, kommuner pågår inom ramen för sex globala program:

• Konsumentinformation
• Hållbara livsstilar och utbildning
• Hållbar offentlig upphandling
• Hållbara byggnader och konstruktion
• Hållbar turism
• Hållbara livsmedelssystem

Sveriges regering leder tillsammans med Japan programmet om hållbara livsstilar och utbildning. SEI (Stockholm Environment Institute) och IGES (Institute for Global Environmental Strategies) har Sveriges respektive Japans uppdrag att koordinera genomförande. Naturvårdsverket representerar Sverige i programmets styrgrupp. Bland annat har samarbetet resulterat i Good Life Goals som kopplar hållbarhetsmålen med privata livsstils- och konsumtionsval.

Nordisk samverkan inom One Planet Network

Inom ramen för samarbetet inom Nordiska Ministerrådet har flera initiativ tagits i syfte att överföra nordiska erfarenheter till One Planet Network. Bla har nordiska erfarenheter inom hållbara textilier och mode samlats i en rapport och presenterats globalt.

Milestone target on the importance of biodiversity and the value of ecosystem services:
By 2018, the importance of biodiversity and the value of ecosystem services are to be generally known and integrated into economic positions, political considerations and other decisions in society where it is relevant and reasonable to do so.

In order to achieve the Environmental Quality Objectives related to biological diversity, an increased awareness is required of the importance of biological diversity and ecosystem services for human well-being. Incentive measures may need to be developed that take account of the economic values of ecosystem services. Their purpose would be to create mechanisms that benefit the capacity of ecosystems to deliver services and that provides incentives for a long-term sustainable management. By determining the economic value of ecsosystem services, and integrating these values in economic positions, political considerations and other decisions in society, we strengthen our capacity to sustainably use the ecosystems and enhance their capacity in the long term.

Many ecosystem services lack a defined price, and as a consequence deterioration of ecosystem services are treated as so called external effects and are not measured in economic terms. This may lead to a situation where decisions and planning will be sub-optimal in terms of societal welfare and well-being. Loss of biodiversity and deterioration of ecosystem services may lead to future costs related to replacement or restoration. Estimations of the cost of not counteracting such losses can provide a valuable basis for judging which conservation measures are motivated. Enhanced knowledge about the economic values of ecosystem services will also contribute to the awareness of the importance of conserving and sustainably use biological diversity, which in turn enhances the conditions for securing biological diversity for the future. The methods being developed should be made available for the education system, thereby promoting and enhanced public awareness.

Milestone target on varied forestry:
Provisions have been clarified so that by 2015 there are good conditions for varied forestry.

Forests can be used for many purposes, for example wood or biomass production, recreation, hunting, raindeer herding and tourism. One may speak about multifunctionality and multi-use. In current forestry, clear-cutting is the dominant practice. There is however a number of alternatives to this. A varied forestry can be achieved in many different ways, partly within current clear-cutting practice and partly with alternative methods. The definition of clear-cutting is not precise. Knowledge is limited when it comes to the effect of alternative management practices on production, economy, climate, biological diversity, cultural environment values, forest water etc. This is due to the fact that these practices have been used to a very limited extent during the last 60-70 years.

The government has taken a three-year initiative for developing adaptive forest management. A model has been developed that facilitates the testing and evaluation of forest management practices in terms of production as well as environmental aspects. New methods may be developed through a successive learning process. There should not be unnecessary obstacles for certain forestry practices. It is therefore important not to obstruct alternative management practices. At the same time, the Forestry Act stipulates a number of conditions, inter alia with a purpose of securing the land’s wood production potential and of avoiding so-called exploitative forestry. These provisions may need to be reviewed in order to ensure that they do not obstruct management practices that may be in a land-owners interest and that may be suitable in the particular case.

Compilation of information on important ecosystems and ecosystem services

Measures taken to contribute to the implementation of your country’s national biodiversity strategy and action plan

In 2012, the Government commissioned the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency to produce a compilation concerning important ecosystems and ecosystem services (Government Bill 2013/2014:141). The resulting report constitutes an important basis for subsequent efforts to achieve the milestone target concerning the importance of biodiversity and the value of ecosystem services. It also contributes with analyses of threats facing important ecosystem services, to the implementation of the target on ecosystem resilience and delivery of ecosystem services. The report’s classification of ecosystem services into provisioning, regulating, supportive and cultural services serves as a basis for authorities’ efforts to achieve the milestone target on the importance of biodiversity and the value of ecosystem services. In addition to the overarching compilation mentioned above, some sector-specific compilations of ecosystem services have been produced.

The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency has produced a report where a method for mapping several ecosystem services in forests at national level is tested (Mapping and assessment of ecosystems and their services - The Swedish Forest Pilot, Swedish EPA Report 6626). The report shows available data and indicators that can be used for a preliminary assessment of the status of the forest ecosystem, and analyses which data flows need to be expanded and complemented in order to improve the assessment. Similar work on mapping and assessment was also presented from the Swedish Forest Agency and the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management in 2017.

A recent collaboration between Nordic countries, financed by the Nordic Council of Ministers, was focused on mapping and assessment of ecosystem services in coastal areas: Nordic assessment of coastal Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services: a subregional study inspired by the broader IPBES context. This project is a joint effort between Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Finland, supported by the Nordic Council of Ministries, and some national funds. The focus is on coastal areas in the Nordic countries. The outline follows the IPBES chapter structure that covers e.g. status, trends and dynamics of ecosystems, drivers of change, cross sector and cross scale analysis, options for governance and decision making, social and economic considerations as well as local and indigenous knowledge. The objectives are to strengthen trans-national cooperation and the science-policy interface for biodiversity and ecosystem service along with nature conservation and sustainable use of coastal ecosystems, to the benefit of long-term human well-being and sustainable development. The project is based on existing data, scientific literature and other information, including indigenous and local knowledge.

A green economy is defined as low carbon, resource efficient and socially inclusive. In a green economy, growth in employment and income are driven by public and private investment into such economic activities, infrastructure and assets that allow reduced carbon emissions and pollution, enhanced energy and resource efficiency, and prevention of the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services. Read more about green economy Länk till annan webbplats.

The Green Economy provides a macro-economic approach to sustainable economic growth with a central focus on investments, employment and skills.

The three main areas for the current work on Green Economy are:

• Advocacy of macro-economic approach to sustainable economic growth through regional, sub-regional and national fora
• Demonstration of Green Economy approaches with a central focus on access to green finance, technology and investments
• Support to countries in terms of development and mainstreaming of macro-economic policies to support the transition to a Green Economy

Going Forward

An Inclusive Green Economy is an alternative to today's dominant economic model, which generates widespread environmental and health risks, encourages wasteful consumption and production, drives ecological and resource scarcities and results in inequality. It is an opportunity to advance both sustainability and social equity as functions of a stable and prosperous financial system within the contours of a finite and fragile planet. It is a pathway towards achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, eradicating poverty while safeguarding the ecological thresholds, which underpin human health, well-being, and development.

Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the United Nations System, Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which human impacts on the environment.

Agenda 21, the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, and the Statement of principles for the Sustainable Management of Forests were adopted by more than 178 Governments at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 3 to 14 June 1992.

The Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) was created in December 1992 to ensure effective follow-up of UNCED, to monitor and report on implementation of the agreements at the local, national, regional and international levels. It was agreed that a five year review of Earth Summit progress would be made in 1997 by the United Nations General Assembly meeting in special session.

The full implementation of Agenda 21, the Programme for Further Implementation of Agenda 21 and the Commitments to the Rio principles, were strongly reaffirmed at the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) held in Johannesburg, South Africa from 26 August to 4 September 2002.
