Progress on implementing the KunmingMontreal Global Biodiversity Framework

Detalles

The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GDF) was adopted at the 15th Conference of the Parties (COP) to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in December 2022. Considered a historic milestone for biodiversity conservation and agreed upon by 195 countries, the GBF consists of four goals that set out a 2050 vision of a world in harmony with nature and 23 action-oriented goals aimed at halting and reversing biodiversity loss by 2030.

The parties will meet again from 21 October to 1 November 2024 at COP16 to discuss the progress of the agreement and carry out a global analysis of their National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs), although few are complete so far. While work is currently underway on the development of key indicators for all 23 goals, some are still pending and, in other cases, methodologies or data are poor.

According to the authors from the Institute for European Environmental Policy (IEEP), progress in resource mobilization is critical, but it is still moving slowly. So far, progress towards achieving the goals has been variable. Some goals have undergone focused and collaborative actions, but many of the broader and some quantifiable goals appear to have made little progress and lack coordinated institutional support.
