UN Sustainable Development Goal 2 Target 2.5 focuses on the conservation of genetic diversity in soundly managed genebanks. In examining the term "soundly managed", it becomes quickly evident that there is much more to long-term conservation than placing samples of seeds or other germplasm in long-term conservation conditions. There are several important factors that determine whether germplasm samples will remain viable in storage for long periods of time. To manage these factors efficiently and effectively, genebanks require sound data and quality management systems. The CGIAR Genebank Platform, coordinated by the Crop Trust, put in place a number of mechanisms that enabled effective online reporting, performance management, quality management, audit and external review and validation. These mechanisms do not conform to the usual monitoring systems put in place for research programs and have only been possible thanks to the flexibility of CGIAR in recognising that the genebanks were exceptional. As a result, in the past 10 years, CGIAR genebanks have significantly improved their performance and the conservation status of collections.
联合国可持续发展目标2的具体目标2.5聚焦于在妥善管理的基因库中保护遗传多样性。在审视“妥善管理”这一术语时，很快就会发现，长期保护所涉及的远不止是将种子样本或其他种质置于长期保存条件下。有几个重要因素决定着种质样本能否在储存中长时间保持活力。为了高效且有效地管理这些因素，基因库需要完善的数据和质量管理系统。由作物信托基金协调的国际农业研究磋商组织基因库平台设立了一些机制，实现了有效的在线报告、绩效管理、质量管理、审计以及外部审查与验证。这些机制不符合为研究项目设立的常规监测系统，并且多亏了国际农业研究磋商组织认识到基因库的特殊性并具有灵活性，才得以实现。结果，在过去十年里，国际农业研究磋商组织的基因库显著提升了其绩效以及种质收集的保存状况。
