Advances in Ecological Economy

Insect pollination plays a crucial role in maintaining global agricultural production and ecosystem stability. However, due to habitat destruction, pesticide abuse, climate change and other factors, insect pollinator populations are experiencing a significant decline worldwide. International conventions play a key role in insect pollinator protection, These include the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC), the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the EU Directive on the Sustainable Use of Pesticides Sustainable Use of Pesticides all have promoted the protection of insect pollinators at different levels. Through policy development, financial support, international cooperation and legal regulation, the convention encourages parties to take appropriate measures to reduce threats to insect pollinators. In addition, while the UNFCCC does not directly target insect pollinators, its efforts in ecosystem restoration, greenhouse gas emission reduction, sustainable agricultural development and pesticide management have had an indirect and far-reaching positive impact on the environment of insect pollinators. This paper systematically analyzes the contribution of different international conventions to the protection of insect pollinators and explores the implementation of policies in this area in key member countries, assessing the role of international conventions in supporting insect pollinators.
