The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD),
established at the Rio Earth Summit in 1992, is a multi-national
agreement to protect biodiversity and promote sustainable
development. Mandates set forth in this agreement include
preserving species and their genetic diversity, maintaining
healthly and varied ecosystems, and promoting the sustainable use
of environmental resources. While the international treaty
identifies commonalities among the degradation of biological
systems worldwide, individual governments are charged with
developing and executing national strategies for protecting
biological systems and reporting back to the international
convention.
Members of the conference of the parties, the CBD’s governing
body, will meet to discuss a host of biological diversity issues,
identifying current progress, as well as making necessary
improvements and pushing for further implementation of CBD
guidelines.
