This article is missing a thorough explanation of the Aichi Biodiversity Targets that the Convention focuses on in its work. The Targets are only mentioned briefly in this article and it would be extremely beneficial to list them explicitly and describe them in detail. As well, an explanation of what projects or initiatives being done within the Convention to address each of these targets poses relevant. Antonia.macris ( talk) 23:31, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

Your article simply ignores the discussion on biopiracy and the fact that the Convention calls for the sharing of the results of research and development of products that derive from communities that bare the traditional knowledge of the use of this biodiversity. Pharmaceutic companies are supposed to pay for the use of indigenous knowledge, an area in which developed nations fail to meet their commitments with the Convention. These commitments are made clear in articles 15 and 19 of the Convention:
Article 15. Access to Genetic Resources
1. Recognizing the sovereign rights of States over their natural resources, the authority to determine access to genetic resources rests with the national governments and is subject to national legislation. (...)
7. Each Contracting Party shall take legislative, administrative or policy measures, as appropriate, and in accordance with Articles 16 and 19 and, where necessary, through the financial mechanism established by Articles 20 and 21 with the aim of sharing in a fair and equitable way the results of research and development and the benefits arising from the commercial and other utilization of genetic resources with the Contracting Party providing such resources. Such sharing shall be upon mutually agreed terms.
Article 19. Handling of Biotechnology and Distribution of its Benefits
1. Each Contracting Party shall take legislative, administrative or policy measures, as appropriate, to provide for the effective participation in biotechnological research activities by those Contracting Parties, especially developing countries, which provide the genetic resources for such research, and where feasible in such Contracting Parties.

The actual list of Parties needs to be updated. The official list is available on the at http://treaties.un.org/Pages/ViewDetails.aspx?src=UNTSONLINE&tabid=2&mtdsg_no=XXVII-8&chapter=27&lang=en. (Written by 69.90.183.226 previously, unsigned)
Wonderful page. I was hoping Wiki would have information showing that Canada missed its 2020 targets - but there does not appear to be a progress report. If someone wants to add that, here are three links. In the first, the government of Canada tells you where to find the targets - and in the 2nd link, we see the targets expressed - and an explanation that we promised to conserve at least 17% of terrestrial areas & inland waters. The third link shows that by the end of 2019, we're only at 12.1%. The 2nd link is clear in stating "Canada is making progress but at an insufficient rate to achieve the 17% terrestrial target . . ."

Again a strange redirect. What is the definition of biodiversity/biological diversity? What threatens it? Who or what benefits from it? Are all theese redirect pages stubs for something more ambitious? --Anders Törlind
The redirect is there because of the abbreviation listed on the page of the agreement. If someone wants to write about "biodiversity", the redirect should of course be changed to a link on the page. I did it that way from the start on Whaling. The same goes for Marine Dumping. Note that if someone wants to write about that as a concept, they should use Marine dumping. The reason I want the redirects in the first place is that the CIA World Factbook uses them on its country pages, and I make them links when I get there. Using the long names there would be a pain. -- Pinkunicorn
Awlrighty! I figured there was something going on there :-) Too bad i can only supply the questions on the subjects...Oh, well, one can't know everything.I think. --Anders Törlind
When the press release is removed, what is remaining in Nagoya Protocol should probably be merged here. Unless some details not in the press release are provided, it's just an adjunct to the Convention. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 10:56, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to 4 external links on
Convention on Biological Diversity. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Brief information about the steps forward of each meeting would be useful rather than only an indication about when they took place. Rrobotto ( talk) 13:53, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

I just did a small copy-edit of this section. However, I am really wondering whether the write-up on the outcomes of SBSTTA-13 as well as the name of the current Chair of that body are really necessary. This is not consistent with the narrative on the other CBD bodies. But then, I didn't want to just go ahead and take it out without getting some consensus.
One thing that could be done would be to actually have tables— one listing the Chairs (and their tenure) and another the outcomes of all SBSTTA meetings. – BroVic ( talk) 09:12, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
Myself and a colleagues looked at this article as part of this project. Here are suggestions for improvement (which we currently don't have time to implement ourselves):
