The Global Biodiversity Framework: A Youth4Nature Perspective

Youth4Nature (Y4N) is pleased to present the illustrated report on the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KM GBF). The report and illustrations break down the GBF for our youth community and audience and provide information about the importance of inclusion of youth as well as about the contradictions between Y4N’s Global Youth Statement on nature-based solutions. This report, with an accompanying summary of portions of the KM GBF, includes specific sections related to youth and the nature-climate nexus as well as graphics for social media.

After the recent gathering of world leaders at the 15th UN-CBD (Convention on Biological Diversity) Conference of Parties (COP); we saw a rising focus on the global crises of climate change, biodiversity loss, and resource use. Nature based Solutions (NbS) can help reduce its effects to a large degree, but only if it is implemented properly and covers the voices of all its stakeholders.

It’s been over a year since we came together with GYBN and YOUNGO to release the Global Youth Statement on Nature-based Solutions (NbS). With COP15 just around the corner, we have put together a short review of what has happened in the NbS discussion since the Statement was released, and share some insights into what we can expect from the discussion moving forward.
