Incentives, including subsidies, harmful to migratory species, and/or their habitats are eliminated, phased out or reformed in order to minimize or avoid negative impacts, and positive incentives for the conservation of migratory species and their habitats are developed and applied, consistent with engagements under the CMS and other relevant international and regional obligations and commitments.
Note: The precise approach to this will vary, in some cases sub-nationally, according to specific local circumstances.
Expected result
Assessing the achievement of this target does not rely on being able to know about the harm caused by harmful incentives or the benefits caused by positive ones. Instead it simply relies on two other things. The first is knowing which relevant incentives exist. Specific individual incentives (including subsidies) harmful to migratory species/habitats and positive incentives for the conservation of migratory species/habitats therefore need to be identified and listed.
Second, the target expects to see certain events occur in relation to those incentives, namely:
- Elimination/phasing out of harmful incentives;
- Reform of harmful incentives to minimise or avoid negative impacts;
- Development of positive incentives;
- Application of positive incentives.
No scale of achievement is specified, so in principle, any extent or frequency of occurrence of these four types of events is capable of constituting achievement of the target. The first two are alternatives to each other, but either of those two plus both of the other two must occur for the target to be fully achieved.
