2. CBD COP15 Kunming-Montreal global biodiversity framework

3. • CBD COP 15 (7-19 December 2022) in Montreal adopted the ambitious
Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMF)
• The KMF is complemented by five important decisions on:
• A mechanism for Monitoring,
• Planning, Reporting and Review,
• A solid package on Resource Mobilization,
• Sharing benefits from Digital Sequence Information on genetic resources,
• Capacity Building to support the implementation.
CBD COP 15 outcomes in a nutshell

4. A historic and transformational package for biodiversity:
• Together with the Paris agreement on climate, the framework paves the way
towards a climate-neutral, nature-positive and resilient world by 2050.
• The swift, efficient and effective implementation of the framework is also
crucial to keep the 1.5°C goals alive.
• It contributes to achieve sustainable societies, by also promoting fairness,
equity, inclusion and participation.

5. • 2050 Vision: living in harmony with nature
• 2030 Mission: halting and reversing biodiversity loss & putting nature on a path
to recovery. Biodiversity must be better off in 2030 compared to 2020.
• 4 outcome oriented Goals covering : Ecosystems, species and genetic
 Significant increase of the area of natural ecosystems
 Nature’s contributions to people/ ecosystem services
 Benefit sharing
 Means of implementation
Translated into: 23 action oriented 2030 Targets many quantified/measurable
 T1-T8 : drivers of biodiversity loss; T9-T13 : sustainable use and benefit
sharing; T14-T23 : tools and solutions for mainstreaming and implementation
