Synopsis (short abstract) Based on official reports, this compendium illustrates how projects funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), designed and implemented by FAO in close collaboration with national counterparts in Latin America and the Caribbean from 2013 to 2023, are concretely contributing to achieving the objectives of the new Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework of the Convention on Biological Diversity. These projects have been instrumental in addressing critical biodiversity challenges in the region, where biodiversity is rich but threatened. FAO has worked in partnership with local governments, community organizations and other key stakeholders to develop strategies and actions that not only protect biodiversity, but also foster sustainable development and community resilience.In particular, this document focuses on Target 07 of the Global Biodiversity Framework: Reduce pollution to levels that are not detrimental to biodiversity.An important part of this target is linked to the use of pesticides, and in this context significant progress has been reported in Caribbean countries and Uruguay.

Delivering on the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework through agrifood systems 2024

Also available in:

No results found.

Amid accelerating biodiversity loss and growing threats to ecosystems, sustainable agrifood systems can play a crucial role in reversing these trends while ensuring food security for a growing global population. Agrifood systems are directly linked to more than half of the 23 targets of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and, in some way, to all the others. Therefore, agrifood sectors have a significant role in the planning, implementation, and monitoring of actions necessary to meet the framework's targets. By highlighting the connections between the KMGBF and agrifood sectors, this publication aims to facilitate the engagement of agrifood stakeholders in the framework's implementation.
