The Convention on Biological Diversity

The CBD came into force in 1993. It was the first global agreement on the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and serves as a blueprint for national action. The Convention establishes three main goals: the conservation of biological diversity, the sustainable use of its components, and the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits from the use of genetic resources. Many biodiversity issues are addressed, including habitat preservation, intellectual property rights, biosafety and indigenous peoples’ rights.

The Convention stands as a landmark in international law, noted for its comprehensive, ecosystems approach to biodiversity protection. The treaty has gained rapid and widespread acceptance. By December 2001, a total of 182 governments had ratified the agreement.
