A representative of the CBD Secretariat will introduce the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF) and the inter-related nature of the goals and targets, and will discuss opportunities for partnerships, cooperation and mainstreaming in support of its implementation.   

This session will also highlight the accompanying monitoring framework and the approval of the GBF Fund as key elements for the effective implementation of the Framework. Against this backdrop, participants will be invited to share ideas and perspectives on these instruments, and on key related issues that could be addressed by the CBD Conference of the Parties at its sixteenth meeting in 2024.
