Abstract
Governments are negotiating actions intended to halt biodiversity loss and put it on a path to recovery by 2050. Here, we show that bending the curve for biodiversity is possible, but only if actions are implemented urgently and in an integrated manner. Connecting these actions to biodiversity outcomes and tracking progress remain a challenge.

This work was carried out by a group of 50 scientists from 23 countries, organized through bioDISCOVERY, a global research network of Future Earth, and the Group on Earth Observations Biodiversity Observation Network (GEO BON) with the aim of providing support and scientific input for negotiations of the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework. The GEO BON Secretariat and bioDISCOVERY IPO provided support in the organization of the virtual meetings. We would like to thank A. Arneth, S. Díaz, M. Gill, and F. Muller-Karger for their critical review of CBD/SBSTTA/24/INF/31 and S. Jellesmark for his contributions. We also thank D. Cooper, B. van Havre, F. Ogwal, and J.
