The Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity adopted the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework during its 15th meeting in Montreal, Canada last December 7-19, 2022.
The Framework has significant references to indigenous peoples and acknowledged the important roles and contributions of indigenous peoples and local communities as custodians of biodiversity and partners in the conservation, restoration and sustainable use.
The Framework also emphasized that its successful implementation will depend on ensuring gender equality and empowerment of women and girls and reducing inequalities.
