Scaling up wetland conservation and restoration to deliver the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework: 
Guidance on including wetlands in National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plans (NBSAPs) to boost biodiversity and halt wetland loss and degradation

We are pleased to share a comprehensive Technical Report produced by the Scientific and Technical Review Panel (STRP) in collaboration with International Organization Partners (IOPs) and Observers, and in consultation with the Secretariat for Contracting Parties to the Convention on Wetlands.

This report underscores the critical role of wetlands in achieving the goals and targets of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. It provides guidance for how wetlands should be included within National Biodiversity Strategies and Actions Plans (NBSAPs), featuring real-world case studies and practical strategies to address the direct and indirect drivers of wetland loss, set realistic and impactful conservation targets, and implement effective area-based conservation measures.

Download the full report to learn more about the critical role of wetlands in the global biodiversity framework and how to meet the ambitious targets of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.
