Under the theme From Science to Action, the third World Biodiversity Forum brings together researchers across all disciplines of biodiversity science with practitioners and societal actors to explore how to move from science to actions and solutions to conserve biodiversity and set us on a path towards transformation for sustainability.

The Kunming-Montréal Global Biodiversity Framework calls for a whole-of-society approach for urgent and transformative change, contributing to the Final Decade of Action to achieve the SDGs. The currently ongoing IPBES Nexus and Transformative Change Assessments explore linkages between biodiversity and the SDGs and identify leverage points for transformative change across society.

The World Biodiversity Forum 2024 responds to the call for urgent and transformative action to halt and reverse biodiversity loss through making connections across available knowledge sources, identifying opportunities, synergies but also trade-offs that can inform policies and actions. It will further develop narratives, pathways and visions of sustainable futures and highlight avenues to achieve change.
