Since the year 2000 The International Day for Biological Diversity is celebrated globally on 22 May, to commemorate the adoption of the Convention on Biodiversity at the Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit in 1992.

This year’s theme is “From Agreement to Action: Build Back Biodiversity” and it carries its own special significance due to adoption of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework agreement at COP 15 in December 2022.

The message from CBD is short and clear: the focus must quickly shift to its implementation and actions.
