The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) was adopted during the fifteenth Conference of the Parties (COP 15) after a four-year process of consultation and negotiation. This landmark Framework, which contributes to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals and builds on the Convention’s previous Strategic Plans, outlines an ambitious path towards realizing the global vision of a world living in harmony with nature by 2050. The Framework's key components include four goals for 2050 and 23 targets for 2030. The vision of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework is a world of living in harmony with nature where “by 2050, biodiversity is valued, conserved, restored and wisely used, maintaining ecosystem services, sustaining a healthy planet and delivering benefits essential for all people.”
