BAFU (ed.)
Mit dem fünften Nationalbericht zur Biodiversitätskonvention und weiteren biodiversitätsrelevanten internationalen Konventionen bietet die Schweiz eine ausführliche Dokumentation über den aktuellen Stand und die Entwicklung der Biodiversität. Zudem werden Instrumente und Massnahmen des Bundes zum Schutz und zur Förderung von Ökosystemen, Lebensräumen und Arten sowie zur nachhaltigen Nutzung von natürlichen Ressourcen präsentiert.
Avec le cinquième rapport national sur la Convention sur la biodiversité et autres conventions internationales touchants à la biodiversité, la Suisse offre une documentation détaillée sur l’état actuel et l’évolution de la diversité biologique. En plus, les instruments et mesures de la Confédération en faveur de la protection et promotion des écosystèmes, des habitats et des espèces ainsi qu’en faveur d’une utilisation durable des ressources sont présentées.
Swiss biodiversity is not yet in a satisfactory state. This has been evidenced in Switzerland’s Fourth National Report. The finding applies at ecosystem level both to the overall territory and to the protected areas. The continued viability of many species – and, with them, genetic diversity – are at risk. Action is needed. Since then, five milestone events for the development of Switzerland’s biodiversity policy took place:
- In 2010, the Swiss Academy of Sciences' Forum Biodiversity published a study reviewing the trends in biodiversity since 1900. Overall, the study concludes that biodiversity loss has not been halted in Switzerland. The projections for the year 2020 show that significant efforts at all levels are needed to achieve a general reversal of biodiversity loss.
- A national conference on biodiversity was held in Villars-sur-Glâne (8/9 November 2010) to explore the strengthening of existing and completion of future instruments to conserve and promote biodiversity in Switzerland so as to ensure its effective conservation and sustainable use. The participants pointed out Switzerland’s international responsibility for biodiversity conservation and the sustainable use of its elements. The participants adopted a declaration urging the federal authorities to include a list of recommendations into a national biodiversity strategy.
- Switzerland has signed the Nagoya Protocol on access to genetic resources and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from their utilization on 11 May 2011 and the Swiss Parliament has approved the Protocol and its implementation through amendments of the Federal Act on the Protection of Nature and Cultural Heritage on 21 March 2014. Switzerland will be able to ratify the Nagoya Protocol after the end of a referendum period.
- “Biodiversity is rich and capable of reacting to change. Biodiversity and its ecosystem services are conserved in the long term”. This is the overall objective of the Swiss Biodiversity Strategy (SBS) adopted by the Federal Council on 25 April 2012. The strategy builds on the Swiss tradition of a close relationship with nature, and on the achievements of recent years, as well as on the global Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020, including its Aichi targets. The development of an Action Plan for the implementation of the Swiss Biodiversity Strategy was started in 2012. The action plan will concretise ways and means to attain the strategic goals of the SBS through a series of measures specifically tailored to the individual areas of implementation and/or different actors and economic sectors. The action plan is being developed in cooperation with the partners who are affected by the proposed measures. The action plan will be available in 2014.
- In 2013, parliament adopted the Swiss Agricultural Policy for the years 2014-2017, a comprehensive framework consisting of 25 revised ordinances. The revised ordinances entered into force on 1 January 2014. Biodiversity is one of the key objectives of the Swiss Agriculture’s contribution System.
Against the Background of these five milestone events, Switzerland’s Fifth National Report under the Convention on Biological Diversity depicts the state and trends of biodiversity in Switzerland, the further development of Switzerland’s national biodiversity policy and Switzerland’s contribution towards the achievement of The global Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020, including its Aichi targets. The report is based on the Fourth National Report, which comprises a comprehensive assessment of Switzerland’s biodiversity and the related policy and planning instruments. Many data and information provided then are still valid and accurate.
