The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is a global treaty that aims to conserve and sustainably use the world's biodiversity. It was adopted in 1992 and has three main objectives: the conservation of biological diversity, the sustainable use of its components, and the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising from the use of genetic resources. In 2010, the CBD adopted the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020, which established a set of 20 global biodiversity targets known as the Aichi Biodiversity Targets. In 2020, the CBD held its 15th Conference of the Parties (COP 15) and adopted a new framework for the post-2020 period, known as the Kunming Initiative. This initiative has three main components: the Kunming Action Plan, the Kunming Vision, and the Kunming Roadmap. It aims to build on the progress made under the Aichi Biodiversity Targets and address the challenges that remain in conserving and sustainably using biodiversity.
