Convention on Biological Diversity

The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is an international treaty aimed at protecting the Earth's diverse ecosystems, species, and genetic resources. Established in 1992, it seeks to promote sustainable development by ensuring that biological diversity is used responsibly and conserved for future generations. The CBD encourages countries to create strategies for conservation, sustainable use of resources, and fair sharing of benefits derived from biological resources. It recognizes the importance of biodiversity for the health of the planet and humanity, highlighting the need for collaboration among nations to address environmental challenges.
