EU support to capacity development for the implementation of the new GBF adopted at CoP15 CBD The proposed Action intends to support capacity development in partner countries in order to strengthen their involvement in the orientation and implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) that was adopted in December 2022 at the 15th Conference of the Parties (CoP) of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity. The EU is committed to support its implementation in partner countries, with a robust package on capacity development for science and knowledge, policy and resource mobilisation and support to civil society, through gender-responsive and human rights-based approaches. This support will be based upon three complementary pillars: i) reinforce informed decision-making and improve conditions for benefit sharing in partner countries; ii) develop or strengthen national policies and financing plans for biodiversity, and iii) increase the meaningful involvement of civil society in activities and in advocacy, policy dialogue and awareness raising.
