7. Implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework
Room 301, Vancouver Convention Center
The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework is a framework for all - for the whole of government and the whole of society – and its success requires political will and recognition at the highest level of government and relies on action and cooperation by all levels of government and by all actors of society. National biodiversity strategies and action plans are the main instruments for implementing the Framework at the national level. However, without political will; coherent action between local and national Government, across Ministries and from non-state actors; and capacity and financing to support implementation, the Framework’s targets and goals will not be achieved
This session will highlight opportunities and examples of success in terms of developing and implementing National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs), including through the support the GEF provides to enabling activities. It will also examine opportunities for improving how NBSAPs are developed, revised/updated, monitored and implemented.
