A new international initiative for plant conservation was first called for as a resolution of the International Botanical Congress in 1999. The natural home for such an initiative was considered to be the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), and the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the CBD agreed to consider a Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC) at its 5th meeting in 2000. It was proposed that the GSPC could provide an innovative model approach for target setting within the CBD and, prior to COP5, a series of inter-sessional papers on proposed targets and their justification were developed by plant conservation experts. Key factors that ensured the adoption of the GSPC by the CBD in 2002 included: (1) ensuring that prior to and during COP5, key Parties in each region were supportive of the Strategy; (2) setting targets at the global level and not attempting to impose these nationally; and (3) the offer by Botanic Gardens Conservation International (BGCI) to support a GSPC position in the CBD Secretariat for 3 years, which provided a clear indication of the support for the GSPC from non-governmental organizations (NGO).

全球植物保护框架的背景和发展

作为 1999 年国际植物大会的决议，首次呼吁发起一项新的国际植物保护倡议。这种倡议的自然家园被认为是生物多样性公约 (CBD) 和缔约方会议 (COP ) CBD 同意在其 2000 年第 5 次会议上审议全球植物保护战略 (GSPC)。有人提议 GSPC 可以为 CBD 内的目标设定提供一种创新的模式方法，并在 COP5 之前，一系列关于拟议目标及其理由的闭会期间文件是由植物保护专家编写的。确保 2002 年 CBD 通过 GSPC 的关键因素包括： (1) 确保在 COP5 之前和期间，每个地区的主要缔约方都支持该战略；(2) 在全球层面设定目标，而不是试图在全​​国范围内强加这些目标；(3) 植物园保护国际 (BGCI) 提议支持 GSPC 在 CBD 秘书处担任 3 年的职位，这清楚地表明了非政府组织 (NGO) 对 GSPC 的支持。
