Preparations for the Post-2020 Biodiversity Framework
In 2020 the Convention on Biological Diversity will adopt a post-2020 global biodiversity framework as a stepping stone towards the 2050 Vision of “”Living in harmony with nature”. In its decision 14/34 the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity adopted a comprehensive and participatory process for the preparation of the post-2020 global biodiversity framework.
An advice note and accompanying guidance material to enable a gender-responsive post-2020 process was welcomed by the Conference of the Parties, in decision 14/34, which urged Parties, the Secretariat and other relevant organizations to consider this advice in their processes on the post-2020 global biodiversity framework.
The current Strategic Plan of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), which includes the 20
Aichi Targets, has a time frame until 2020. Therefore, the fifteenth meeting of the Conference of the
Parties (COP-15), to be held in 2021 in Kunming China (TBC), “is expected to update the Convention’s
strategic plan” (www.cbd.int/post2020) which could be done by adopting a new global biodiversity framework.

To contribute to the on-going process of the developing of the CBD Post2020 Global Biodiversity Framework, this “Dialogue on CBD Post2020 Global Biodiversity Framework Process: Perspectives on Gender-responsive Biodiversity and Action Plan” is to share, update, exchange and identify pathways in putting gender equality and women’s empowerment in the heart of the discussion in the development of the CBD Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework.
CBD Women Caucus presents this dialogue to provide an open platform to share information on the work of gender considerations in the CBD Post2020 GBF in hopes in awareness raising on links to biodiversity and gender equality and women’s empowerment.
