This paper published by AFD's Research Papers collection analyses how the main discourses that structure the GBF are playing out with respect to the specific challenges and aspirations of Sub-Saharan African countries. It outlines the directions in which African countries’ voices could change the dominant narrative on biodiversity protection, towards a broader narrative framed by commons approaches. These explore how conservation, the sustainable use of biodiversity, and exploitation of natural resources in supply chains, can effectively arrive at a balance that could be at the heart of future development that addresses local needs and priorities within the broader contexts of national and regional governance and development aspirations.
