International Day for Biological Diversity (IDB) (22 May 2020)
Theme of IBD-2020
"Our solutions are in nature"
The United Nations proclaimed May 22 as the International Day for Biological Diversity (IDB) to increase understanding and awareness of biodiversity issues (www.cbd.int/idb). As the global community is called to re-examine its relationship to the natural world, one thing is certain: despite all our technological advances we are completely dependent on healthy and vibrant ecosystems for our water, food, medicines, clothes, fuel, shelter and energy, just to name a few. The theme “Our solutions are in nature” emphasizes hope, solidarity and the importance of working together at all levels to build a future of life in harmony with nature. 2020 is a year of reflection, opportunity and solutions. It is the year where, more than ever, the world can signal a strong will for a global framework that will “bend the curve” on biodiversity loss for the benefit of humans and all life on Earth.
Themes The themes to be covered from 18 to 21 May 2020 are key elements of the biodiversity agenda.
Date Themes
18 May 2020 Science and traditional knowledge are in the spotlight, not only to understand the state of biodiversity, but also to comprehend the drivers of biodiversity loss and pathways for a sustainable future
19-21 May 2020 Taking advantage of World Bee Day, and the World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development, these 3 days are devoted to raising awareness on areas that deal with the different objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity: 1) Different ways of conserving biodiversity; 2) Health, agriculture, food and feed, food security and biodiversity; and 3) People, culture and biodiversity Awareness should also be raised on the link between biodiversity, climate and land.
22 May 2020 The commemoration culminates with the International Day for Biological Diversity around the theme of action for biodiversity and emphasizing that “Our solutions are in nature”. “Our solutions are in nature”. This slogan brings both Nature-Based Solutions with biodiversity safeguards and the biodiversity/nature aspect together in a way that is easy to grasp. It also shows that people are part of nature rather than separate from nature
