Synergies between the Convention on Biological Diversity and the High Seas Treaty
Find out more about the synergies between the CBD, the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KM-GBF), and the High Seas Treaty. Read our briefing and position paper on the importance of seamless coordination and complementarity between the two agreements to accelerate the effective protection of the global ocean’s biodiversity.
Marine life does not recognize boundaries. promoting synergies between relevant international bodies – such as the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the new High Seas Treaty – is essential to securing 30% protection of all seas by 2030, both within and beyond national waters. Tapping into the CBD’s thirty years of experience, as well as its scientific expertise, will be of huge value for the High Seas Treaty as member states prepare for its swift entry into force and implementation.
