Abstract

The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is perhaps the most relevant and ethical convention for the conservation, the sustainable use, and the fair and equitable distribution of benefits of marine and continental biodiversity use. In the next ten years, there are two ways through which the CBD can, clearly and effectively, address the issue of gender in its management framework. First, the new Framework for Global Biodiversity, being prepared for approval at the 15th Conference of the Parties of the Convention on Biological Diversity, is an excellent opportunity for member states of the CBD, civil society and private companies to develop a strategy imbued with a clear gendervision – one that recognises the contributions towards conservation that women and girls make, and further, one that is based on a framework of human rights, thus ensuring the GENDER biodiversity well-being and the improvement in the living conditions of women across the world.
