  will provide guidance for schools and teachers on how to cooperate and exchange 
  experiences across Member States on biodiversity teaching. The Commission will also 
  provide support materials and facilitate the exchange of good practices in EU networks of 
  teacher-training programmes. 
  
  **4. THE EUROPEAN UNION FOR AN AMBITIOUS GLOBAL BIODIVERSITY AGENDA**
  
  Biodiversity is a priority of the EU’s external action and an integral part of efforts to 
  meet the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. It will be mainstreamed 
  throughout bilateral and multilateral engagements, through the EU’s ‘Green Deal 
  diplomacy’, and forthcoming green alliances76. The Commission will work closely with 
  the European Parliament and Member States to ensure a high level of EU ambition and 
  mobilise all efforts for the good of the world’s biodiversity. 
  
  **4.1. Raising the level of ambition and commitment worldwide**
  
  Protecting biodiversity is a global challenge and the next decade will be decisive. Global 
  efforts under the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity have largely been 
  insufficient. Nature cannot afford any half measures or lack of ambition. 
  
  In this spirit, the EU is ready to lead all efforts – working with like-minded partners in**a**
  **high-ambition coalition on biodiversity**– to agree an ambitious new global framework 
  for post-2020 at the upcoming 15th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on 
  Biological Diversity.
