The Local Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (LBSAP) is the local-level version of National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plans, the principle instrument used by national governments for implementing the international Convention on Biological Diversity. The Local Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan Guidelines is a document that guides local governments in detailing a broad strategy, as well as specific actions to implement in order to protect and enhance local biodiversity. 

ICLEI Cities Biodiversity Center, the United Nations University – Institute for Advance Studies and the Convention for Biological Diversity Secretariat have co-authored the Guidelines.
