GBF
The Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) is the landmark international agreement adopted in 2022 to guide global action to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030.
Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework
Also Known As / Other Names: Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework
The GBF is the successor to the Aichi Biodiversity Targets (ABT) under the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). It was adopted at COP15 in December 2022 in Montreal.
The framework sets out 4 overarching goals for 2050 and 23 targets for 2030, including the “30x30” target to conserve at least 30% of land and sea globally by 2030. It also calls for halting human-induced extinctions, reducing pollution, restoring degraded ecosystems, and aligning financial flows with nature-positive outcomes.
