DocumentGoalTargetComments2001-2010 commitments (decision VII/30)Promote the conservation of genetic diversity.Genetic diversity of crops, livestock, and harvested species of trees, fish, and wildlife and other valuable species conserved, and associated indigenous and local knowledge maintained.This commitment was only clarified in COP7, in 2004Strategic Plan 2011-2020 (UNEP/CBD/COP/DEC/X/2)Strategic Goal C “Improve the status of biodiversity by safeguarding ecosystems, species and genetic diversity”Target 13: By 2020, the genetic diversity of cultivated plants and farmed and domesticated animals and of wild relatives, including other socio-economically as well as culturally valuable species, is maintained, and strategies have been developed and implemented for minimizing genetic erosion and safeguarding their genetic diversity.2011-2020 was also the UN Decade on BiodiversityZero draft GBF, January 2020 (CBD/WG2020/2/3)Goal C “Genetic diversity is maintained or enhanced on average by 2030, and for [90%] of species by 2050”No Target mentioning genetic diversity, only mention in Targets is benefits of genetic resourcesUpdated Zero draft e.g. 0.5 draft, August 2020 (CBD/POST2020/PREP/2/1)Goal A “The area, connectivity and integrity of natural ecosystems increased by at least [X%], supporting healthy and resilient populations of all species while reducing the number of species that are threatened by [X%] and maintaining genetic diversity”Same as aboveThis Goal A formulation was based on proposals and comments after the zero draft (see CBD/WG2020/2/4) .First draft GBF, July 2021 (CBD/WG2020/3/3)Goal A “...genetic diversity of wild and domesticated species is safeguarded, with at least 90 per cent of genetic diversity within all species maintained.”Target 4 “Ensure active management actions to enable the recovery and conservation of species and the genetic diversity of wild and domesticated species, including through ex situ conservation, and effectively manage human-wildlife interactions to avoid or reduce human-wildlife conflict.”Goal A contains phrases for each of ecosystems, species and genetic diversity, but for brevity we list only the genetic phrase.Report of OEWG 3, March 2022 (CBD/WG2020/3/7)Goal A “...[All genetically distinct populations and] [[[a] A]t least [90][95][X] per cent of] genetic diversity among and within [all] [known] [populations of] [wild and domesticated] species is [maintained] [safeguarded, maintaining their adaptive potential].]”“...and the genetic diversity of [[native] wild and domesticated] [cultivated] [all] [native] [and domesticated] species [populations], [to maintain their adaptive potential] including through in situ [conservation, supported by] [and] ex situ conservation [and restoration of genetically depleted populations]...”As above, the full wording of Target 4 and Goal A are not presented; only the genetic diversity elementReport of OEWG 4, June 2022 (CBD/WG2020/4/4)Goal A, Option 1 “...[The genetic diversity and adaptive potential of [all] [known] [wild and domesticated] species is safeguarded and [all genetically distinct populations are] maintained [by 2030, at least [95] per cent of genetic diversity among and within populations of [native] [wild and domesticated] species is maintained by 2050].]”Goal A, Option 2 “... maintaining genetic diversity of populations and their adaptive potential [numerical values to be added].“...[and] [to] [maintain and restore] the [genetic diversity] [within and between populations] of [all species] [[all] [native] wild and domesticated species]] [[to] [and] maintain their adaptive potential] including through in situ and ex situ conservation,...]”During OEWG 4, two options for Goal A were presented. Both have three elements (ecosystems, species, and genetic diversity). Option 2 was shorter, and less specific, but was not discussed and was recommended for further discussion at COP 15.Informal Group recommendations, October 2022 (CBD/WG2020/5/2)Identical to OEWG4 text“...to maintain and restore the genetic diversity [within and between populations] of [all] [native] wild and domesticated species [to maintain their adaptive potential], including through in situ and ex situ conservation,...”The informal group recommended keeping the words “maintain and restore” but to consider whether “adaptive potential” was duplicative.
