Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF) 
Align with the global agreement for biodiversity

Why talk about the KMGBF?

Adopted in December 2022 during the COP15 on biodiversity, the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF) is to nature and biodiversity what the Paris Agreement is to climate.

Its ambition: “to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030” and “to live in harmony with nature by 2050.”

It is built around 23 global targets, including the restoration of 30% of degraded ecosystems, the protection of 30% of land and sea areas, and the halving of risks related to pesticides.

For companies, aligning with the KMGBF means demonstrating their contribution to international goals and meeting the growing expectations of governments, investors, and stakeholders.

The KMGBF framework at a glance

  • An international agreement adopted by nearly 200 countries during COP15 in Montreal in 2022.
  • 23 global targets for 2030, structured around four strategic goals for 2050.
  • The equivalent of the Paris Agreement for nature — a shared reference framework guiding public policies, regulations, and corporate strategies.
  • A key role for private actors: companies are expected to measure their impacts and dependencies, reduce their pressures, and contribute to ecosystem restoration. Public policies, regulations, and investor expectations are already being shaped by this framework.

FAQ

The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework is an international agreement adopted in 2022 at COP15 on biodiversity. It defines 23 global targets to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030.

Because it sets a specific target, shared by nearly 200 countries, which now shapes public policies, regulations and investor expectations.

Not directly. But many regulations (CSRD, taxonomies, due diligence) are already inspired by the KMGBF targets. Proactive companies therefore gain a head start.

By identifying your material challenges, defining objectives consistent with the 23 targets, and articulating your commitments with voluntary frameworks such as the SBTN or the TNFD.

A credible strategy, aligned with international expectations, and a better ability to anticipate regulatory, financial and reputational risks.
