About UN Biodiversity
Description
The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is a pioneering global agreement focused on the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity. Established to address the preservation of flora and fauna, the CBD encompasses various critical components, including the fair distribution of benefits derived from genetic resources. The CBD's initiatives promote international cooperation through comprehensive frameworks such as the Global Biodiversity Framework and protocols addressing specific issues like the Cartagena and Nagoya protocols.
The CBD organizes key global events, such as the upcoming UN Biodiversity Conference (COP 16) in Cali, Colombia, aimed at advancing biodiversity goals. Their commitment extends to supporting member countries in implementing biodiversity strategies and facilitating knowledge sharing, workshops, and capacity-building activities. In addition, the CBD emphasizes intergenerational equity and the protection of indigenous rights, highlighting the need for a collective approach towards environmental stewardship. Through advocacy, partnerships, and strategic initiatives, the CBD plays a crucial role in safeguarding our planet's rich biological heritage for future generations.
