The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is an international treaty aimed at promoting sustainable development through the conservation of biological diversity. As the Belgian National Focal Point, the CBD plays a critical role in coordinating efforts to protect and enhance biodiversity in Belgium. The organization facilitates the implementation of key protocols such as the Nagoya Protocol and the Cartagena Protocol, ensuring that national strategies align with global biodiversity goals.

The CBD offers a range of services, including the provision of information and resources related to biodiversity management, communication, and public awareness initiatives. Its strategic plans and frameworks guide countries in setting national biodiversity targets and monitoring progress through comprehensive reporting mechanisms. The CBD also fosters cooperation among various stakeholders, enhancing knowledge-sharing and action on biodiversity conservation. Engaging with experts and the community, the CBD is dedicated to advancing the critical mission of preserving the natural world for future generations.
