 Active Remedy Ltd. becomes signatory of the Edinburgh Declaration and calls for greater attention to mountains through full implementation of Target 6.6, 2030 Agenda06.12.2020Mountain Partnership member Active Remedy Ltd. has recently become signatories in the 2020 Edinburgh Declaration on the post-2020 global biodiversity framework (GBF). The 2020 Edinburgh Declaration sets out the aspirations and commitments of the Scottish Government, Edinburgh Process partners and the wider subnational constituency of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), in delivering for nature over the coming decade. Together with the Edinburgh Process Report to be introduced at the twenty-fourth meeting of the Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice (SBSTTA 24), the declaration represents high level aims of subnational governments, cities and local authorities for the post-2020 GBF. Active Remedy Ltd. has also entered a submission toward the review of the Draft Monitoring Framework for the post-2020 GBF. In their submission, they recommend an ecosystem-based adaptation approach along with the full implementation of Target 6.6 of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, as a way of regenerating essential ecosystems, conservation and connectivity, with the aim of safeguarding the global water cycle. Active Remedy Ltd. also recalls to all CBD Parties the vital importance of mountain ecosystems and suggests implementing their rehabilitation in a programmatic way through the post-2020 GBF. Calling on the members of the Mountain Partnership, Active Remedy Ltd. directors Tara and Stella Joy state, "All Mountain Partnership members could play a critical role in the full accomplishment of the post-2020 GBF, as ecosystem-based adaption addresses the importance of species, their natural habitats, ecosystem restoration and the mountain regions of the world for the global hydrological cycle and climate." The Edinburgh Declaration for subnational governments, cities and local authorities on the post-2020 global biodiversity framework will be open to signature by Parties until the fifteenth Conference of the Parties to the CBD in 2021 in Kunming, China.
