摘要

2022年,联合国生物多样性公约第十五届缔约方大会通过了“昆明-蒙特利尔全球生物多样性框架”,旨在通过生物多样性投资、企业责任和取消破坏环境的补贴,加强对陆地和海洋地区的国际保护。中国是形成和通过这一关键生物多样性框架的基础。中国在COP15中的领导地位应导致中国生物多样性保护的升级,特别是通过对与“一带一路”倡议(BRI)相关的公司强制披露生物多样性影响(BID)。为了实现这一点,应在中外发展机构与“一带一路”合作伙伴国家或公司之间的发展协议中加入BID条款。授权的BID将扩大中国和全球范围内的生物多样性和人类健康保护。BRI相关公司将有动力提高BID评级,以获得经济效益、增加社会资本、员工敬业度和客户忠诚度。生物多样性保护也将“经得起未来考验”的公司,以应对未来任何环境政策的变化。通过向投资者、政府和其他利益相关方提供更好的实质性信息,“一带一路”倡议将加强企业对生物多样性问题的监督和认识,提高生物多样性倡议的标准化和普及性,并将生物多样性和人类健康问题提升为更传统的商业报告系统。因此,中国在COP15下的企业责任措施将影响全球生物多样性、人类健康和BID的未来。

Protecting biodiversity and human health along the belt and road

In 2022, the 15th Conference of Parties (COP15) to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) adopted the “Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework” (GBF), which aimed to strengthen international protections on terrestrial and marine areas through biodiversity investments, corporate responsibility, and the elimination of environmentally damaging subsidies. China was fundamental in forming and passing this pivotal biodiversity framework. China's leadership in COP15 should result in escalated Chinese biodiversity protections, specifically through mandated biodiversity impact disclosures (BIDs) for companies associated with the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). To achieve this, BID clauses should be inserted into BRI development agreements between Chinese foreign development institutions and BRI partner states or companies. Mandated BIDs would expand biodiversity and human health protections within China and globally. BRI-associated companies would be motivated to improve BID ratings for financial benefits, increased social capital, employee engagement, and customer loyalty. Biodiversity protection will also “future-proof” companies against any future environmental policy changes. By providing improved materiality to investors, governments, and other interested parties, BRI BIDs would enhance corporate oversight and awareness of biodiversity issues, advance the standardization and pervasiveness of BIDs, and elevate biodiversity and human health issues into more traditional commercial reporting systems. Thus, China's corporate responsibility measures under COP15 will influence global biodiversity, human health, and the future of BIDs.
