The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework: What is it?

The challenge WE ALL FACE



HOW WILL THE GBF GALVANIZE ACTION TO HALT & REVERSE BIODIVERSITY LOSS?

PURPOSE AND MISSION OF THE FRAMEWORK

The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework aims to catalyze, enable and galvanize urgent and transformative action by Governments, and subnational and local authorities, with the involvement of all of society, to halt and reverse biodiversity loss.

Its mission towards 2030 is to put nature on a path to recovery for the benefit of people and planet by conserving and sustainably using biodiversity and ensuring the fair and equitable sharing of benefits from the use of genetic resources, while providing the necessary means of implementation.

Goals and Targets

The framework consists of 4 goals related to:
A) Healthy ecosystems and species abundance and diversity;
B) Sustainable use of biodiversity;
C) Fair and equitable sharing of benefits from the use of genetic resources and protection and use of traditional knowledge; and
D) Adequate means of implementation including financial resources, capacity-building, technical and scientific cooperation and access to and transfer of technology.

Achieving the ambitions of the GBF requires transformative change. Embedding six key principles at the heart of the GBF provides the concrete means to trigger transformative action for all levels of government and across the whole of society. Read our publication now to learn why transformative change is crucial to achieve the goals of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework by 2030.
