Trinidad and Tobago ratified the United Nations Convention to Biodiversity (CBD) in 1996. As a party to the CBD, Trinidad and Tobago is obliged to develop a National Strategy and Action Programme, which is the primary instrument through which parties implement the Convention at the national level. In 2022, at the fifteenth session of the Conference of the Parties to the CBD, Trinidad and Tobago assented to the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework which set goals and targets for the conservation of biodiversity, to be attained by 2050 and 2030 respectively. All of the goals and many of the targets under the new Framework are centred around people sustainably with nature and deriving benefits from it.
