The conference is intended to bring about a trend reversal, moving from destruction to restoration of nature. The countries of the world want to agree a new global biodiversity framework (GBF) for the period until 2050 for this purpose.
The agreement is meant to address all of the factors causing biodiversity loss. These include, for example, the destruction and exploitation of nature, the change in use of land and sea, the impacts of the climate crisis, pollution and the spread of invasive species.
