The final report from our Global Biodiversity Framework workshop is now available to download.
About this report:
To help guide the delivery of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework in Australia, in May 2023 the Australian Committee for IUCN (ACIUCN) brought together over 100 participants for the workshop ‘Global Biodiversity Framework – Help Australia meet targets by 2030’.
Over two days, representatives from 54 organisations, leaders in conservation across science, government, non-government, Indigenous, and the private sector gathered to listen, learn, discuss, and ultimately recommend clear national actions to meet the K-M GBF targets in Australia.
The purpose of the workshop was to bring together experts from across sectors to discuss, inform and contribute to:
Development of strategies and actions (within Australia) to meet Global Biodiversity Framework targets by 2030
Revision of Australia’s National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) due for submission at COP16 in late 2024.
The workshop and this report build on previous ACIUCN workshops and subsequent reports including:
Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework Workshop: Australia Workshop Report & Analysis (Rowland et al., 2022)
Starting the conversation on Australia’s priorities for the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework: A synthesis of views (Spencer-Smith et al., 2019).
This report was developed in collaboration with workshop participants and members of the organising committee. This report does not attempt to be a comprehensive suite of actions necessary to meet the targets of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, but rather emphasises the priority actions drawn from the recommendations of workshop participants. It is not intended to cover the full range of perspectives raised at the workshop but to collate and synthesise the key findings to help guide revision of Australia’s National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan, and its subsequent implementation.
