La Perspectiva Mundial sobre la Diversidad Biológica (PMB) es la principal publicación del Convenio sobre la Diversidad Biológica (CDB). Se trata de un informe periódico que resume los datos más recientes sobre la situación y las tendencias de la biodiversidad y extrae conclusiones pertinentes... para la aplicación ulterior del Convenio.
La GBO-5 ofrece un resumen global de los progresos realizados en la consecución de las Metas de Aichi para la Diversidad Biológica y se basa en una serie de indicadores, estudios de investigación y evaluaciones (en particular la Evaluación Mundial de la Diversidad Biológica y los Servicios de los Ecosistemas de la IPBES), así como en los informes nacionales presentados por los países sobre su aplicación del CDB. Los informes nacionales proporcionan una rica información sobre las medidas adoptadas en los países de todo el mundo en apoyo de la conservación de la biodiversidad, el uso sostenible y el reparto justo y equitativo de los beneficios. Este conjunto de información proporciona una gran cantidad de información sobre los éxitos y los desafíos en la aplicación del Plan Estratégico para la Diversidad Biológica 2011-2020 y en la consecución de las Metas de Aichi para la Diversidad Biológica.
Esta Perspectiva se basa en las lecciones aprendidas durante las dos primeras décadas de este siglo para aclarar las transiciones necesarias si queremos hacer realidad la visión acordada por los gobiernos del mundo para 2050, "Vivir en armonía con la naturaleza".
