CHM - ORTNational Target
General
Lao People's Democratic Republic
Target 14a: By 2030, biodiversity conservation will have been integrated into all sectoral management and development policies, plans, and processes, and environmental impact assessments will have been conducted for all proposed developments. Target 14b: By 2030, One-Health initiatives, as related to biodiversity will have been integrated into all relevant sector policies, including natural resources management and environmental protection, livestock production, and medical sciences.
ENThese targets are about cross-sectoral consideration of biodiversity in all aspects of government operations and policy, in part for improving human health.
Capacity building in non-resources government departments.
Policy gap analysis.
Work towards One Health as a consideration in all resource decisions.
Alignment
GBF-G-A. Ecosystems are conserved, extinctions are halted and genetic diversity is maintained
GBF-G-B. Biodiversity is sustainably used and its contributions to people are maintained, enhanced or restored
| Global Targets | Degree of Alignment |
GBF-T01. All areas are planned or managed to bring loss of areas of high biodiversity importance close to zero GBF-T01. All areas are planned or managed to bring loss of areas of high biodiversity importance close to zeroEnsure that all areas are under participatory, integrated, and biodiversity inclusive spatial planning and/or effective management processes addressing land and sea use change, to bring the loss of areas of high biodiversity importance, including ecosystems of high ecological integrity, close to zero by 2030, while respecting the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities. | High |
GBF-T10. Areas under agriculture, aquaculture, fisheries and forestry are managed sustainably GBF-T10. Areas under agriculture, aquaculture, fisheries and forestry are managed sustainablyEnsure that areas under agriculture, aquaculture, fisheries and forestry are managed sustainably, in particular through the sustainable use of biodiversity, including through a substantial increase of the application of biodiversity friendly practices, such as sustainable intensification, agroecological and other innovative approaches contributing to the resilience and long-term efficiency and productivity of these production systems and to food security, conserving and restoring biodiversity and maintaining nature’s contributions to people, including ecosystem functions and services . | High |
GBF-T11. Nature’s contributions to people are restored, maintained and enhanced GBF-T11. Nature’s contributions to people are restored, maintained and enhancedRestore, maintain and enhance nature’s contributions to people, including ecosystem functions and services, such as regulation of air, water, and climate, soil health, pollination and reduction of disease risk, as well as protection from natural hazards and disasters, through nature-based solutions and/or ecosystem-based approaches for the benefit of all people and nature. | Medium |
GBF-T12. Urban green and blue spaces enhanced for human well-being GBF-T12. Urban green and blue spaces enhanced for human well-beingSignificantly increase the area and quality and connectivity of, access to, and benefits from green and blue spaces in urban and densely populated areas sustainably, by mainstreaming the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, and ensure biodiversity-inclusive urban planning, enhancing native biodiversity, ecological connectivity and integrity, and improving human health and well-being and connection to nature and contributing to inclusive and sustainable urbanization and the provision of ecosystem functions and services. | Medium |
GBF-T14. The multiple values of biodiversity are integrated into decision-making at all levels GBF-T14. The multiple values of biodiversity are integrated into decision-making at all levelsEnsure 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. | High |
GBF-T15. Businesses assess and disclose biodiversity dependencies, impacts and risks, and reduce negative impacts GBF-T15. Businesses assess and disclose biodiversity dependencies, impacts and risks, and reduce negative impactsTake legal, administrative or policy measures to encourage and enable business, and in particular to ensure that large and transnational companies and financial institutions:
(a) Regularly monitor, assess, and transparently disclose their risks, dependencies and impacts on biodiversity, including with requirements for all large as well as transnational companies and financial institutions along their operations, supply and value chains and portfolios;
(b) Provide information needed to consumers to promote sustainable consumption patterns;
(c) Report on compliance with access and benefit-sharing regulations and measures, as applicable;
in order to progressively reduce negative impacts on biodiversity, increase positive impacts, reduce biodiversity-related risks to business and financial institutions, and promote actions to ensure sustainable patterns of production. | High |
Access to financial resources
Collective effort towards the targets
Biodiversity and health
Consistency with international agreements or instruments
Cooperation and synergies
Formal and informal education
Fulfilment of the three objectives of the Convention and its Protocols, and their balanced implementation

This target is about improving and mainstreaming biodiversity through inter-agency cooperation and recognition that many policies directly or indirectly influence biodiversity and its conservation.
It requires education for many agencies and cooperation in implementation of the policies.
Meets Goal A to improve ecosystem management.
Goal B for sustainable use.
The national target aligns high with several GBF targets based on planning and policy for biodiversity, at large scales and through better.
Targets 11 and 12 will have some secondary alignment at the management improves.
