We celebrate it every year on the day of the acception of the Convention on Biological Diversity. This year´s theme is “Harmony with Nature and Sustainable Development”.
Three-quarters of terrestrial habitats and about 66% of the marine environment have been significantly modified by human activity. Millions of plant and animal species are threatened with extinction. Human survival and well-being are linked to biodiversity. Negative trends, species and habitat loss and ecosystem destruction could undermine economic progress and significantly impact the sustainable development of the Planet.
To avoid the collapse of natural resources and civilization as we know, humanity must align the use of natural goods with the goals of sustainable development. The IDB 2025 campaign seeks to draw particular attention to the link between the 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF), a universal program that must be implemented together with the recently (2024) adopted Pact for the Future.
“This campaign also aims to instill a sense of urgency. We must act now”
