Codex Planetarius, described in the record as part of the system's governance structures alongside the United Nations and the Bank for International Settlements (BIS)[1].
The record calls these structures the enforcers of planetary ethics through binding legislation, global standards, and economic policies.
Codex Planetarius is proposed as a complement or umbrella to Codex Alimentarius, extending its principle. A UK government document says WWF's Codex Planetarius could be a model from which to build these ambitions. Its own site says it will focus on the least-efficient 10-20% of food producers, who cause 60-80% of the impacts but produce less than 10% of the product. The record does not establish that Codex Planetarius is formally part of Codex Alimentarius, or that the two share governance or binding legal links.
It shows how a private proposal can be presented as a global standard, while the record leaves open whether it is actually tied to the bodies it is compared with.
