    Abstract

    Adopted in 2022 by states party to the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Biodiversity Framework has been celebrated as a game changer in the international community’s efforts to address dangerous levels of biodiversity loss. Through a detailed analysis, this article argues that this optimism is unfounded, and instead the Framework will fail to halt the decline of the natural world. It begins by locating the Framework in its international legal context before critiquing its regulatory form, described as ‘global target, national action’. The remainder of the article provides a comprehensive assessment of the Framework’s 2050 Vision for Biodiversity and its associated global goals, and its 2030 Mission and the related 23 action-oriented targets. It concludes by offering brief thoughts on alternative directions international conservation law and policy could go in to address the biodiversity crisis.
