Global Biodiversity Framework – Help Australia meet targets by 2030

The Australian Committee for IUCN (ACIUCN) invites you to attend a Global Biodiversity Framework Workshop. The purpose of this workshop is contribute to:

1.  Australia’s meeting of the Global Biodiversity Framework targets by 2030; and
2. to the revision of Australia’s National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) for COP 16.

In December 2022, at the UN Convention on Biological Diversity’s (CBD) COP15, after several years of retracted negotiations, 188 countries adopted a new Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF).

The Agreement now provides a framework that guides global and domestic action on nature through to 2030.

The Australian Government played a leading role in improving the final agreement and with just 7 years to go, Australia will need to move fast to meet these new Targets. ACIUCN is inviting representatives from sectors across Australia including First Nations, Government, science, conservation, finance and business sectors, who all have an important role to play in Australia successfully meeting the 2030 targets and ultimately achieving a world that is living in harmony with nature by 2050.

Join us in Canberra on the 31 May and 1 June to contribute to Australia meeting the 2030 targets.

Recommendations from the Workshop will be summarised in a final report.

The workshop follows on from previous ACIUCN CBD (Convention on Biological Diversity) workshops and reports such as; 2019 ‘Starting the conversation on Australia’s priorities for the Post 2020 Global Biodiversity Framework’, 2021 Australia's priorities for the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework and our 2022 Post 2020 Global Biodiversity Framework Webinar
