Global Biodiversity Outlook 2 assesses the current status and trends of 
biodiversity and the key drivers of biodiversity loss. It provides a 
powerful case for the importance of biodiversity to human well-being. The 
report contains a succinct overview of the status of the implementation of 
the Convention on Biological Diversity, progress towards the 2010 
Biodiversity Target and its contribution to the achievement of the 
Millennium Development Goals. As 2010 approaches, the document identifies 
key actions required at the individual, institutional and systemic levels 
to achieve the 2010 target.

The Global Biodiversity Outlook 2 was launched in Curitiba, Brazil on 20 
March 2006, during the opening session of the eighth meeting of the 
Conference of the Parties.
