Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework

        

 The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) was adopted during the fifteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP 15) held in Montreal, Canada in December 2022. The new GBF, based on the previous Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011–2020 includes 4 goals for 2050 and 23 targets for 2030 to ensure the 2050 vision of “living in harmony with nature.” The implementation of the GBF will be guided and supported through a comprehensive package including an enhanced mechanism for planning, monitoring, reporting and reviewing implementation.
 One of the key elements of this framework is “whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach” and the success of the GBF relies on action and cooperation by all levels of government and by all actors of society.
