California Global Biodiversity Alliance (CalGBA)
Super Coalition Bridging Local Efforts with Global Environmental Goals
As the world’s fourth-largest economy, California is taking a leadership role in advancing global biodiversity goals. California is the world's only subnational government that is an independent observer to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity.
By linking local conservation efforts with global environmental policies, California is demonstrating how subnational governments can play a critical role in addressing global biodiversity challenges.
The California Global Biodiversity Alliance is a super coalition helping to advance California’s leadership around biodiversity conservation.
Mission

The Working Group builds coalitions and promotes collaboration amongst local, state, national, tribal and global biodiversity leaders in California, the United States, and around the world in order to overcome critical biodiversity and climate change challenges for people and planet.
Vision
Collaboration and connection for biodiversity at the local, national, and global levels fosters a future where people and the planet flourish.
