1 SNH/16/08/A Update on SNH activity on the SBS Challenge and Route Map to 2020 discussion Summary 1. This paper provides an update on recent SNH activity in delivering the SBS 2020 Challenge and Route Map. Action 2. Board are asked to note and discuss the contents of the paper. Preparation of Paper 3. This paper has been prepared by Pete Rawcliffe with input from the SBS strategy communication and learning team in the People and Places Unit. The sponsor is Andrew Bachell, SNH Director of Policy and Advice. Background 4. The revised Scottish Biodiversity Strategy (2020 Challenge for Scotland s Biodiversity) was published in The strategy is structured around three aims: to protect and restore biodiversity; to connect people to the natural world; and to maximise the benefits and services we get from nature. Ten key outcomes are identified to achieve these aims and some of the steps necessary for delivery of them are set out. These steps have subsequently been expanded on in the SBS Route Map published by Scottish Government in June Rather than seek to capture all action for biodiversity, the Route Map focuses on the large scale, collaborative and significant activity organised around 12 priority projects, 64 specific actions and 8 supporting areas of work. 5. Collectively, the SBS 2020 Challenge and Route Map is are intended to deliver the Scottish Government international commitments to halting biodiversity loss set out by the Convention of Biological Diversity and EU Strategy on Biodiversity. Progress towards these commitments are assessed through the Aichi targets agreed as the global measures for halting biodiversity loss. Further information on these commitments and reporting requirements is provided in Annex A 6. SNH leads delivers nearly 60% of the actions within the route map, with work spread across 3 of SNH s portfolios caring for the natural world; enriching people s lives and promoting sustainable economic growth. Other work is led by Scottish Government, SEPA, FCS, Marine Scotland, environmental NGOs and other stakeholders. An overview of this activity is contained in Annex B. 1
2 7. Other work undertaken by a large number of organisations and groups also supports progress on our biodiversity targets and it is important that these organisations also remain engaged in the SBS 2020 challenge and Route Map process. To achieve this engagement, the development of individual delivery agreements with a range of government and non-government bodies was initiated by Scottish Government to complement statutory reporting undertaken on the biodiversity duty. 8. To support delivery of the SBS 2020 Challenge and Route Map, Scottish Government begun a review of governance arrangements in June This review sought to simplify previous governance arrangements set up in 2013 and in particular to reflect the formation of the RAFE Delivery Board. It was also hoped to better integrate the governance of the SBS with that of the Land Use Strategy (LUS.) This review has yet to be fully completed, and will now need to take into account the new portfolio arrangements. SNH s leadership role 9. In addition to its key delivery role, in May 2015 SNH was asked by Scottish Government to undertake the leadership role to ensure that the SBS 2020 Challenge and Route Map is implemented. This is a significant task for SNH, and was identified by our Minister at the time as the number one priority for the organisation. The role requires SNH to enthuse, engage and work with the many stakeholders relevant to this work and to champion, steer and co-ordinate it effectively on behalf of Scottish Government. It includes a number of specific elements, including measuring and reporting regularly on progress engaging, and communicating with, stakeholders and the general public about the 2020 challenge; and keeping the route map up-to-date by identifying any new work that is needed to address the systematic pressures that are currently leading to biodiversity loss. 10. Progress since the route map was published includes First 6 monthly report on progress for Scottish Government with actions prepared (November 2015) showing good progress across each of the priority project and supporting work. An interim report on the Aichi targets prepared for Scottish Government to inform future reporting (July 2016) SEPA, FCS, CNPA, LLTNPA and RBGS delivery agreements published (April 2016) Communication plan developed and agreed with SBS co-ordination group The first annual SBS stakeholder event held at Battleby in March 2016 An internal SNH SBS workshop held at Battleby in July 2016 Quarterly biodiversity newsletter circulated 2
3 11. To oversee and help co-ordinate this work and engage others, SNH has established and chairs a co-ordination group involving SG, SEPA and FCS. A number of former working groups under the previous governance arrangements have also been reactivated and report to this co-ordination group. An important role for the RAFE communication group is also envisaged. The completion of the review of governance arrangements by Scottish Government will allow progress and issues can be reported and where necessary collective actions for government can be agreed. Next Steps 12. The first annual Route Map progress report is currently under preparation for completion by end of September. This will include a 2 nd report on progress with the actions, a 1 st report on progress against Route Map targets and also an update on progress with the Aichi targets. It will also consider any new actions or projects that are needed. 13. In January 2017, the Cabinet Secretary is required to report to the Scottish Parliament on progress on the implementation of the SBS 2020 Challenge. SNH will be expected to lead the preparation of this report. 14. To develop better engagement of different sectors in the implementation of the route map, we have begun supporting the development of a further round of delivery statements by key stakeholders such as Transport Scotland and NHS Health Scotland. 15. During this first year, the SNH and Young Scot youth panel on biodiversity is now established (now called ReRoute ) to explore how best to engage young people in Route Map delivery. We expect the panel to outline and develop its proposals for work during the next few months. 16. Finally, we are developing plans to use the publication of the SBS progress report to Scottish Parliament in Quarter 4 as an opportunity to increase awareness and commitment to this work across Scottish Government and key sectors. A step change in our communication activity to promote the progress made as well as the raising interest in the challenges ahead is also required, together with more emphasis on linking SNH outputs to the SBS challenge.
