The UK Government is committed to action for pollinators, globally and at home. We regularly discuss and share information on research, policy and practical activities with a number of countries, in and beyond Europe, on reported declines and how best to address them.<\/p>
<\/p>
The UK is a member of \u2018Promote Pollinators\u2019, an international coalition of the willing, with 60 members, including countries in Europe and across the world, committed to action to protect pollinators.<\/p>
<\/p>
We have also supported collaborative international research which has underpinned such initiatives, including a major global review of the status and threats to insect pollinators, published in 2015 by the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services.<\/p>
<\/p>
The UK continues to play a leading role in the development of an ambitious post-2020 global framework for biodiversity to be adopted at the 15th<\/sup> Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity. We will be supporting ambitious targets to bend the curve on biodiversity loss by 2030 - including in areas which will help to recover insect populations, such as ecosystem restoration and species recovery - supported by strengthened reporting and review mechanisms to help facilitate the implementation of the targets.<\/p>"}
