Biodiversity Conservation and Implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF)

As the COP 15 presidency, China was a leader in driving the successful conclusion of negotiations on the Kunming–Montreal Framework, encouraging the world to jointly promote the realization of the three goals of the CBD: biodiversity conservation, sustainable use, and equitable benefit-sharing. In January 2024, China updated and released the China Biodiversity Conservation Strategy and Action Plan (2023-2030), which demonstrates China’s great importance to biodiversity and its firm commitment to and strategy for implementing the Kunming–Montreal Framework. As part of this process, CCICED has established a thematic policy research project on biodiversity conservation and implementation of the Kunming–Montreal Framework. This report is an important output of this program. The project has conducted in-depth research on the implementation of the “30×30” target (Target 3) and an analysis of its effectiveness, the sustainable use and management of agricultural biodiversity (Targets 7 and 10), and the financing mechanisms and incentives for resource mobilization for biodiversity conservation and sustainable use (Targets 18 and 19). It puts forward policy recommendations for effectively achieving the goals and targets of the Kunming–Montreal Framework in China and the rest of the world.
