The forum will focus on "knowledge and capacity to facilitate the implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework" and will be an opportunity to:
- Learn more about the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) and its monitoring framework
- Look at the Key Biodiversity Areas and how they can contribute to the GBF
- Explore how to build a coherent trans-European Nature Network of conserved areas by building on national experiences and by building on new knowledge.
Registration is required.
This policy forum will be organised back to back with the BiodivProtect kick-off meeting which will take place on 19 April 2023.
The BiodivProtect Funded Projects Kick-Off Meeting will present 36 new projects focused on supporting the protection of biodiversity and ecosystems across land and sea!
The transnational research projects will run for 3 years and address the following themes:
- Knowledge for identifying priority conservation areas, establishing effective and resilient ecological networks, enhancing species-based protection and preserving genetic diversity
- Multiple benefits and costs of biodiversity and ecosystem protection: synergies and trade-offs
- Effective management and equitable governance to deliver bold conservation outcome
The 36 selected projects are academically excellent projects, mobilising a wide range of disciplines, engaging many relevant stakeholders, and addressing various pressing scientific and societal issues.
The in-person attendance of this event is for invitees only, but the entire meeting can be followed virtually. Registration for online attendance is required.
