GLOBAL COMMITMENTS.
PRACTICAL ACTION.
WHAT IS THE GBA?
A shared purpose.
A place to act.
The Alliance is an open, adaptive and inclusive global platform. It connects leadership, knowledge and finance so that countries and communities can advance action for biodiversity together.
Read our founding principles ↗Our mission
The mission is to accelerate the implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF), foster knowledge exchange, unlock finance, and strengthen national and regional biodiversity strategies aligned with equity, Indigenous leadership, and economies that prioritise the conservation, restoration and sustainable use of biodiversity.
Our shared vision
The vision is to mobilize and coordinate global action to halt and reverse biodiversity loss through inclusive, science-based, and justice-driven collaboration – especially among highly biodiverse, climate-vulnerable nations.
WHY IT MATTERS
Life depends
on living systems.
Biodiversity loss weakens the ecosystems that provide our food, clean water, livelihoods and resilience to climate change. Protecting nature is a shared human priority.
The solutions are connected: protect habitats, restore damaged ecosystems, use resources sustainably and support the people who steward them.
