The Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity decided on (
decision 14/34) a comprehensive and participatory process for the preparation of the
post-2020 global biodiversity framework, which is expected to be adopted in 2020.
The negotiations to develop the post-2020 global biodiversity framework will be undertaken by a dedicated open-ended intersessional working group under the leadership of its two
co-chairs, Mr. Francis Ogwal (Uganda) and Mr. Basile van Havre (Canada) and overseen by the Bureau of the Conference of the Parties.
The Executive Secretary published (
notification 2019-026), an indicative chronology of key activities and milestones leading to the consideration of the post-2020 global biodiversity framework by COP-15, CP-MOP-10 and NP-MOP-4.
More information on the process for the development of the post-2020 global biodiversity framework is available
