About the Event
The International Day for Biological Diversity (IDB) is observed annually on 22 May, proclaimed by the United Nations to increase public understanding and awareness of biodiversity issues. It commemorates the adoption of the Convention on Biological Diversity text on that date in 1992 at the Nairobi Conference. The Convention, ratified by 196 nations, focuses on conserving biological diversity, sustainable use of its components, and fair sharing of genetic resource benefits. Biodiversity underpins human wellbeing but faces threats from climate change, habitat loss, pollution, and overexploitation. The day encourages global action by individuals, organizations, and governments to halt biodiversity loss and support frameworks like the Global Biodiversity Framework and Sustainable Development Goals. Promotional materials in multiple languages are available via the CBD website.
