Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity

The Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is the administrative body that supports the global treaty focused on protecting the planet’s biological diversity—including plants, animals, and ecosystems. It helps countries develop strategies, share information, and implement actions to conserve species, sustainably use natural resources, and share benefits fairly. The Secretariat coordinates international efforts, monitors progress, and facilitates collaboration among nations to address environmental challenges and ensure a healthy, balanced planet for future generations.
