National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs)


What's New?

In decision 15/6 on mechanisms for planning, monitoring, reporting and review, Parties are requested to submit revised or updated NBSAPs by COP-16, following the guidance provided in annex I of the decision, aligned with the goals and targets of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. Parties not in a position to do so are requested to communicate their national targets reflecting, as applicable, all the goals and targets of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, as a standalone submission, by COP-16, in advance of submission of their full NBSAP.

Activities are currently being undertaken by the Secretariat to update the online reporting tool located on the CBD Clearing-House Mechanism to support online submission of national targets, due by 2016, and of the seventh and eighth national reports due respectively in 2026 and 2029.

To date, in accordance with Article 6 of the Convention, 194 of 196 (99%) Parties have developed at least one NBSAP. More »
