Now in its fifth edition (GBO-5), the report provides a final assessment of progress towards the 20 global biodiversity targets agreed in 2010 (the Aichi Biodiversity Targets). It also identifies necessary transitions to reach the 2050 Vision for Biodiversity and sets out the evidence base for the development of an ambitious and transformative post-2020 global biodiversity framework. This Handbook is intended as a reference guide to decisions adopted by the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety (COP-MOP) as well as a guide to ongoing activities in relation to particular Articles and/or cross-cutting issues of the Convention.

The Good Practice Guide series presents policy considerations, management tools, market-based instruments, and capacity-building methods that support biodiversity conservation and poverty reduction in a number of different development sectors. Each guide in the series is composed of a booklet and accompanying PowerPoint presentation. The UNEP/CBD issue paper series explores the interconnections between biodiversity and climate change. The series was designed for decision-makers, who need a quick grasp of the science and some suggested solutions.
