The memorandum of cooperation establishes a framework of collaboration between the CBD Secretariat and the GBIF Secretariat to further common goals. These goals include facilitating the development and implementation of approaches, technologies and best practices that will be necessary to access, share and disseminate biodiversity data at the species, ecosystem and genetic levels via the Internet. Specific collaborations have not yet been agreed upon, but projects may be undertaken in the areas of the Clearing House Mechanism, the Global Taxonomy Initiative, and the 2010 initiative.
