The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) was adopted during the fifteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP 15) to the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).

The GBF aims to halt and reverse biodiversity loss and sets out a vision of a world living in harmony with nature where “by 2050, biodiversity is valued, conserved, restored and wisely used, maintaining ecosystem services, sustaining a healthy planet and delivering benefits essential for all people.”

The GBF has 4 goals for 2050 and 23 targets for 2030. It aims to:

• protect, conserve and restore biodiversity across ecosystems, species, and genetic diversity
• enhance indigenous peoples and local communities’ role in biodiversity stewardship
• strengthen equitable benefit sharing from the use of biodiversity
• promote sustainable use of biodiversity
• encourage private investment in nature
• mainstream biodiversity considerations into policies and decision-making

All parties to the GBF have committed to updating their National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plans, including setting national implementation targets.
