A meeting critical to advancing a post-2020 global biodiversity framework to safeguard nature will resume in-person in Kenya next month. The Working Group on the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework will resume its work at the United Nations Complex in Nairobi June 20-26, seeking agreement on actions to reach the 2050 vision of living in harmony with nature in line with the milestones of the 2030 agenda, as well as addressing the five drivers of biodiversity loss —land and sea use change, unsustainable exploitation, climate change, pollution, and invasive alien species.
The working group will define how international performance will be tracked and reported, and ultimately how success will be defined and measured
The framework is expected to be adopted at a resumed UN biodiversity summit later this year in Kunming, China, which includes the 15th Conference of Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity.
