Integrate plant diversity into policy, planning and strategies.
14. Provide open and accessible data and develop tools to help to measure and integratethe importance of diverse knowledge systems and value of plant diversity into policies,regulations, environmental assessments and planning processes, including rural andurban development, poverty reduction strategies and national accounting and reportingmechanisms.
“The values of plant diversity are not always well reflected in decision-making and the objective of this Action is to ensure that the multiple values of plants and opportunities derived from their conservation and sustainable use are recognized and reflected in all relevant public and private decision-making. Numerous studies, at various scales, have illustrated the economic value of plant diversity and the ecosystem services it underpins. Including the values of plant diversity in national and local development and poverty reduction strategies and planning processes and into national accounting will place plants into the same decision framework as other goods and services. This would help give plant diversity greater visibility amongst policymakers and contribute to the “mainstreaming” of plant diversity issues in decision-making processes.”
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, fiscal and financial flows with the goals and targets of this framework.”
