The declaration outlines the commitments of CBD Parties to 18 actions for integration of biodiversity into the agriculture, forestry, fisheries and tourism sectors to halt the loss of biodiversity across the world.
It was adopted after months of consultation with CBD Parties, ending with a series of high level roundtable discussions.
For the very first time, these discussions included the participation of Ministers from the four development sectors.
"It is critical that we build on this historic opportunity in terms of biodiversity conservation for the future”.
