Convention on Biological Diversity - CBD

Visit the CBD wbsite here

The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) entered into force on 29 December 1993. It has 3 main objectives:

  1. The conservation of biological diversity
  2. The sustainable use of the components of biological diversity
  3. The fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising out of the utilization of genetic resources

The Aichi Biodiversity Targets can be found here. These 20 targets were part of the Strategic plan from 2011 to 2020. In September 2020 the Global Biodiversity Outlook 5 UN Report showed that every target had been missed.

This historic Framework, which supports the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals and builds on the Convention’s previous Strategic Plans, sets out an ambitious pathway to reach the global vision of a world living in harmony with nature by 2050. Among the Framework’s key elements are 4 goals for 2050 and 23 targets for 2030.
