Action Agenda Newsletter on Biodiversity Commitments
Reversing Biodiversity Loss and Promoting Positive Gains to 2030
The Sharm El-Sheikh to Kunming and Montreal Action Agenda for Nature and People is an initiative spearheaded by the governments of China and Egypt, with support of the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). The purpose is to, within this decade, build engagement with non-state actors in order to inform, inspire and showcase voluntary commitments, raise awareness on the urgency, ambition, and actions necessary to reduce the drivers of biodiversity loss and make a shift toward nature positive outcomes. As of 22 March 2023, the Action Agenda has 715 commitments, featuring actions carried out by, among others, governments, the private sector, non-governmental organizations and academic and research institutes.
The CBD Secretariat launched the Action Agenda Newsletter on Biodiversity Commitments to create awareness of the methodologies used to track progress in support of Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, enhance the profiling of commitments from non-state actors, and to further help raise ambition for the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, while contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
