CBD National Focal Points

CBD National Focal Points (NFPs) are designated representatives within each country responsible for communicating with the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). They serve as official links, coordinating national efforts to implement biodiversity policies, sharing information, and collaborating with other countries and international organizations. Essentially, NFPs ensure that a country’s commitments to conserve and sustainably use biological resources are effectively managed and aligned with global biodiversity goals. They play a vital role in fostering cooperation, reporting progress, and addressing challenges related to biodiversity conservation at the national and international levels.
