The United Nations has proclaimed May 22 The International Day for Biological Diversity (IDB) to increase understanding and awareness of biodiversity issues. 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 IDB, 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.

IDB theme 2022 - Building a shared future for all life

This year, 'Building a shared future for all life' is the theme of the International Day of Biodiversity. 50 years ago, the Stockholm Conference gave rise to a global environmental agenda leading to hundreds of multilateral agreements to protect our environment. Yet, the ability to understand how significant biodiversity is to our lives, our future, and to our health and that of every other living organism on this planet remains a complex challenge. As such, the theme for this year was chosen to continue building momentum and support for the post-2020 global biodiversity framework to be adopted at the upcoming UN Biodiversity Conference #COP15, and strives to create awareness of the necessity of biodiversity for sustainable and resilient lives.

Below is a list of things that you can do to conserve and sustainably use biodiversity for your well-being:

• Reduce your meat consumption
• Eat and purchase seasonal foods
• Buy local foods
• Reduce your food waste
• Compost your food scraps
• Reduce food packaging by using reusable bags or reusing glass jars or containers

• Promote local and indigenous biodiversity for food and nutrition
