Indicators for the Kunming – Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework

Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity adopted the Kunming-Montreal biodiversity package of decisions at the UN Biodiversity Conference (December 2022). These included the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, which aims to catalyze, enable, and galvanize urgent and transformative action to halt and reverse biodiversity loss, to achieve the outcomes it sets out in its Vision, Mission, Goals, and Targets (see CBD/COP/DEC/15/4); and the associated global monitoring framework, which aims to provide consistent, standardized, and scalable tracking of the global Goals and Targets (see CBD/COP/DEC/15/5).

Headline and binary indicators are included in the national reporting template, whereas the component and complementary indicators are optional. The metadata for each indicator provides an explanation of the methodology and potential disaggregations of the indicator.
