The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), known informally as the Biodiversity Convention, is a multilateral treaty. The convention has three main goals: the conservation of biological diversity; the sustainable use of its components; and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from genetic resources. Its objective is to develop national strategies for the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity, and it is often seen as the key document regarding sustainable development.
In the upcoming 15th Meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP 15), the convention will review the achievement and delivery of the CBD’s Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020. It is also anticipated that the final decision on the post-2020 global biodiversity framework will be taken, together with decisions on related topics including capacity building and resource mobilization.
As part of our commitments to the goals of the Convention on Biological Diversity, WorldFish will continue to support the need to reverse biodiversity loss and its impact on aquatic ecosystems, species and dependent communities. Through our research and innovation, we will promote key actions to support this integrated approach in relation to the WorldFish's '2030 Research and Innovation Strategy' and CGIAR's initiative in 'Resilient Aquatic Foods for Healthy People and Planet' to protect critical habitats, improve water quality, controll invasive species and safeguard connectivity of aquatic food systems.

We look forward to your active participation.
