Subsequently to its adoption the UN General Assembly (UNGA) agreed to take the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 as a universal framework for action on biodiversity and a foundation for sustainable development for all stakeholders, including agencies across the UN System.61 The governing bodies of the other five Biodiversity-related Conventions, other than the CBD, have also recognized or supported the Plan6*, and a meeting of the Biodiversity Liaison Group (BLG) in 2010 played a key role in this61. In fact, it has often been highlighted that the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity was formulated in a way that automatically addresses concerns of other conventions than just the CBD, and it would be almost impossible to achieve the Aichi Biodiversity Targets without creating synergies with other Biodiversity-related Conventions. Accordingly, the CBD decision that adopted the strategy, invites parties to involve NFPs of all the biodiversity-related agreements, as appropriate, in the process of updating and implementation of NBSAPs and related enabling activities.
