3 At the international level, the global health governance regime has made frequent use of goal-based planning as a governance strategy, most notably in the context of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. In biodiversity governance, the Aichi Biodiversity Targets (available at: https://www.cbd.int/sp/targets) constitute another prominent example of goal setting, resulting in the uptake of a common framework across a number of biodiversity-related conventions.
