International Day for Biological Diversity
2023 Theme
"From Agreement to Action: Build Back Biodiversity"
The Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity is pleased to announce the Biodiversity Day 2023 slogan:
From Agreement to Action- a theme that urges the world to protect biodiversity.
Although every Biodiversity Day carries with it its own special significance, this year’s global celebrations bring a renewed sense of hope.
Around the world, governments and people are showing what they are doing to Build Back Biodiversity.
Biodiversity remains the answer to several sustainable
development challenges. From nature-based solutions to climate, health issues,
food and water security, and sustainable livelihoods, biodiversity is the
foundation upon which we can build back better.
