Global Dialogue on the role of food and agriculture in the Post 2020 Global Biodiversity Framework
The Food and Agriculture Organization, in collaboration with the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity, will hold a Global Dialogue on the Role of Food and Agriculture in the Global Biodiversity Framework and its High-level Segment. This event will raise awareness of ongoing international policy processes on biodiversity and position the agriculture sectors as key contributors to the sustainable management and custodianship of biodiversity.
FAO is fully committed to promoting sustainable practices that are biodiversity friendly and deliver healthy food and prosperity for all, while preserving our natural resources.
Outputs from these meetings will feed into discussions on the development of the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework and the 15th Session of the Conference of Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity to be held in Kunming, China, next October 2021 (COP15).
