EAAFP Partners Engagement at CBD COP 15

The UN Biodiversity Conference (Fifteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP-15) to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)), is being held in two parts. The Part 2 of the COP 15 is held in Montreal Canada from 7 to 19 December 2022. During COP 15, parties will see the adoption of the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework, which provides a strategic vision and a global roadmap for the conservation, restoration and sustainable management of biodiversity and ecosystems for the next decade.

Building on lessons learned from the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 and its Aichi Biodiversity Targets, it recognizes there are urgent policy action globally, regionally and nationally required to transform economic, social and financial models, so the trends that have exacerbated biodiversity loss will stabilize by 2030 and allow for the recovery of natural ecosystems, with net improvements by 2050.

Partners of EAAFP are actively engaged in developing the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework and promoting agenda to highlight the importance of wetland and biodiversity conservation.
