At #UNGA this week, I discussed with Marcos Neto, United Nations Assistant Secretary-General, UNDP Assistant Administrator and Director of the Bureau for Policy and Programme Support, the next steps on the BIOFIN - Biodiversity Finance Initiative and UNDP's support to Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (UN Biodiversity) in the revision and implementation of National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans #NBSAPs, in line with the #KMGBF--the world's masterplan to halt and reverse biodiversity loss.

🚨New study Researchers at UNEP-WCMC have carried out the first high-level analysis of countries’ policy pledges for nature and subsequent reporting of actions taken under the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 and its Aichi biodiversity targets. They discovered major reporting shortfalls: nearly half of countries' commitments for nature in 2011-2020 could not be linked to evidence of actions taken. Read more about the findings and the researchers' call for consistent monitoring under the Global Biodiversity Framework (or Biodiversity Plan) ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gwMd_9pt

What do we know about how national commitments to biodiversity progress? Read our new paper where we attempt to track thousands of commitments made towards the Aichi Targets, and wonder if what we find has implications for monitoring the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework...

“Be part of the Plan”, the theme of International Day for Biological Diversity (IDB) 2024, is a call to action for all stakeholders to halt and reverse the loss of biodiversity by supporting the implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, also referred to as the Biodiversity Plan.  #Biodiversity#Kunming-MontrealGlobalBiodiversityFramework #BepartoftheBiodiversityPlan

"A biodiversity gain plan is a document that shows how biodiversity net gain (BNG) will be achieved. Evidence must be provided for BNG decisions... Find the form here: https://lnkd.in/ebqgFAbM." 

Today, 22 May is International Day for Biodiversity #IDB. This universal observance commemorates the adoption of the text of the Convention on Biological Diversity on 22 May 1992. #BePartOfThePlan, this year's theme, is a call to action for all stakeholders to halt and reverse the loss of biodiversity by supporting the implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, also referred to as the The Biodiversity Plan.

Today it's UN Biodiversity #BiodiversityDay and this year's theme is 'Be part of the Plan' - a call to action for all stakeholders to halt and reverse the loss of biodiversity by supporting the implementation of the Kunming-Montreal #GlobalBiodiversityFramework. On 19 December 2023, the one-year anniversary of the adoption of the Global Biodiversity Framework, the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity launched “The Biodiversity Plan” campaign aiming to communicate and promote the 4 Goals and the 23 Targets of the Framework to the world. Communicating the Biodiversity Plan is crucial to enabling a whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach that will take the world from agreement to action. Governments are accountable for the implementation of the Global Biodiversity Framework, but everyone has a role to play.
