Implementing GBF Target 16: Addressing biodiversity impacts of food consumption

  • Target 16 of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) urges national governments to reduce the global footprint of consumption. With the food sector driving biodiversity loss globally, sustainable food systems must become a policy priority. This policy brief offers key recommendations to decision-makers: It outlines actions to effectively promote nature-friendly food production practices, improve the availability of sustainable food options and encourage a voluntary shift towards low-meat and plant-based diets. The brief also highlights the need to reduce food waste and overconsumption as well as improve access to information. It emphasizes that while systemic changes are required, they must be implemented in an equitable manner to leave no one behind. This publication is a product of the working group “Biodiversity & Consumption” of the UNEP One Planet network’s Consumer Information Programme, with contributions from the Food Systems Programme.
