At its sixteenth meeting, the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity adopted a Global Action Plan on Biodiversity and Health, which includes a set of voluntary actions that can be implemented at various levels and on different scales, from international to national and from multisectoral to sector-specific, with cross-sectoral collaboration at the governmental level that allows for the participation of indigenous peoples and local communities, in addition to stakeholders, such as civil society and the private sector. The Global Action Plan builds on previous work undertaken under the Convention on Biological Diversity and is also intended to facilitate the realization of biodiversity and health co-benefits from the implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.
