Co-operation for the convention on biological diversity

Co-operation for the Convention on Biological Diversity (CO-OP4CBD)

The goal of CO-OP4CBD

The project will enhance coordination of the EU and associated countries’ support to advance the implementation of the CBD and its Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, by effectively harnessing the knowledge of European experts and initiatives.


Strengthening technical and scientific cooperation for 2050 vision for biodiversity

By adopting the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) have agreed to facilitate a transformative change in the societies’ relationship with biodiversity and pursue the long-term 2050 vision of Living in Harmony with Nature.

Availability of knowledge is one of the key factors in implementing this ambitious global plan that aims to mitigate and reverse the process of biodiversity decline. Given the complexity of the scope and issues that CBD includes, there is a need for an improved technical and scientific cooperation that will strengthen the linkages with policy and better inform CBD decisions.

CO-OP4CBD project focuses on the European response to facilitate a more coordinated approach in the engagement of experts to support implementation of the CBD processes.
