Non-state actors play a crucial role within the framework of global environmental governance. Many have contributed to the consultations that shaped the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (the Biodiversity Plan). Following its historic adoption at COP 15 of the Convention on Biological Diversity in December 2022, non-state actors around the world continue to underpin the world’s transition from agreement to action.
