When first created by the Second Committee of the UN General Assembly in late 1993, 29 December (the date of entry into force of the Convention of Biological Diversity), was designated The International Day for Biological Diversity. In December 2000, the UN General Assembly adopted 22 May as IBD, to commemorate the adoption of the text of the Convention on 22 May 1992 by the Nairobi Final Act of the Conference for the Adoption of the Agreed Text of the Convention on Biological Diversity. This was partly done because it was difficult for many countries to plan and carry out suitable celebrations for the date of 29 December, given the number of holidays that coincide around that time of year.<\/p><div id=\"ctl08_CSkin\"><div id=\"ctl08_CSkin2\"><div id=\"ctl08_ctl00_CContent\" class=\"hlite\"><h2 class=\"cmsH2\">Themes<\/h2><ul class=\"cmsListBullet\"><li><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbd.int\/idb\/2021\">2021 &#8211; We are part of the solution for nature<\/a><\/p><\/li><li><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbd.int\/idb\/2020\">2020 &#8211; Our solutions are in nature<\/a><\/p><\/li><li><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbd.int\/idb\/2019\/\">2019 &#8211; <b>Our Biodiversity, Our Food, Our Health<\/b><\/a><\/p><\/li><li><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbd.int\/idb\/2018\/\">2018 &#8211; <b>Celebrating 25 Years of Action for Biodiversity<\/b><\/a><\/p><\/li><li><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbd.int\/idb\/2017\/\">2017 &#8211; <b>Biodiversity and Sustainable Tourism<\/b><\/a><\/p><\/li><li><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbd.int\/idb\/2016\/\">2016 &#8211; <b>Mainstreaming Biodiversity; Sustaining People and their Livelihoods<\/b><\/a><\/p><\/li><li><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbd.int\/idb\/2015\/\">2015 &#8211; <b>Biodiversity for Sustainable Development<\/b><\/a><\/p><\/li><li><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbd.int\/idb\/2014\/\">2014 &#8211; <b>Island Biodiversity<\/b><\/a><\/p><\/li><li><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbd.int\/idb\/2013\/\"><b>2013 &#8211; Water and Biodiversity<\/b><\/a><\/p><\/li><li><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbd.int\/idb\/2012\/\">2012 &#8211; <b>Marine Biodiversity<\/b><\/a><\/p><\/li><li><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbd.int\/idb\/2011\/\">2011 &#8211; Forest Biodiversity<\/a><\/p><\/li><li><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbd.int\/idb\/2010\/\">2010 &#8211; Biodiversity, Development and Poverty Alleviation<\/a><\/p><\/li><li><p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbd.int\/ibd\/2009\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2009 \u2013 Invasive Alien Species<\/a><\/p><\/li><li><p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbd.int\/ibd\/2008\/default.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2008 \u2013 Biodiversity and Agriculture<\/a><\/p><\/li><li><p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbd.int\/ibd\/2007\/default.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2007 \u2013 Biodiversity and Climate Change<\/a><\/p><\/li><li><p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbd.int\/ibd\/2006\/default.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2006 \u2013 Protect Biodiversity in Drylands<\/a><\/p><\/li><li><p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbd.int\/ibd\/2005\/default.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2005 \u2013 Biodiversity: Life Insurance for our Changing World<\/a><\/p><\/li><li><p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbd.int\/ibd\/2004\/default.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2004 \u2013 Biodiversity: Food, Water and Health for All<\/a><\/p><\/li><li><p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbd.int\/ibd\/2003\/default.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2003 \u2013 Biodiversity and poverty alleviation \u2013 challenges for sustainable development<\/a><\/p><\/li><li><p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbd.int\/ibd\/2002\/default.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2002 \u2013 Dedicated to forest biodiversity<\/a><\/p><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The International Day for Biological Diversity (IBD) The United Nations proclaimed May 22 The International Day for Biological Diversity (IBD) to increase understanding and awareness of biodiversity issues.
