Global Biodiversity Outlook (GBO)
, now in its third edition, is the flagship publication of the Convention on Biological Diversity. The Outlook assesses the status and trends of biodiversity, and the key drivers of its loss. The Outlook also examines the steps being taken by the global community to ensure that biodiversity is conserved, used sustainably, and that benefits arising from the use of genetic resources are shared equitably.
This
Handbook
is intended as a reference guide to decisions adopted by the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety (COP-MOP) as well as a guide to ongoing activities in relation to particular Articles and/or cross-cutting issues of the Convention.
The goal of the
CBD Technical Series
is to contribute to the dissemination of up-to-date and accurate information on selected topics that are important for the conservation of biological diversity, the sustainable use of its components and the equitable sharing of its benefits.
The
Good Practice Guide
series presents policy considerations, management tools, market-based instruments, and capacity-building methods that support biodiversity conservation and poverty reduction in a number of different development sectors. Each guide in the series is composed of a booklet and accompanying PowerPoint presentation.
The
UNEP/CBD issue paper series
explores the interconnections between biodiversity and climate change. The series was designed for decision-makers, who need a quick grasp of the science and some suggested solutions.
This page lists some
Principles, Guidelines and other tools
developed under the Convention. All are available in the six official United Nations Languages (Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Spanish, Russian).
The
Booklets and Brochures
are organized in two categories,
Thematic Areas
and
Cross-Cutting Issues
.
