A 2ª Conferência das Partes da Convenção sobre Diversidade Biológica (Jakarta, 1995) decidiu pela elaboração periódica de um relatório sobre biodiversidade: o Global Biodiversity Outlook (GBO) ou Panorama da Biodiversidade Global, que oferece um resumo do estado da diversidade biológica e uma análise dos passos tomados pela comunidade global para assegurar que a biodiversidade seja conservada e usada de forma sustentável e que os benefícios advindos do uso dos recursos genéticos sejam equitativamente distribuídos.
 
    * Global Biodiversity Outlook 1 (Panorama da Biodiversidade Global 1)
    * Global Biodiversity Outlook 2 (Panorama da Biodiversidade Global 2)
    * Global Biodiversity Outlook 3 (Panorama da Biodiversidade Global 3)
