Guidance on use of assessments to deliver national and international ambitions for biodiversity now available in 6 languages - NEA InitiativeNEA Initiative

In 2021, the National Ecosystem Assessment Initiative (NEA Initiative) at UNEP-WCMC developed the guidance document ‘National Ecosystem Assessments to support implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)’. 

This work was produced in collaboration with the Secretariat of the CBD and supported by the Japan Biodiversity Fund. The guidance document is relevant for National Focal Points to the CBD and the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity & Ecosystem Services (IPBES), as well as other stakeholders interested in understanding how national ecosystem assessments can contribute to CBD implementation at the country level around: biodiversity planning; national reporting; technical and scientific cooperation; capacity-building; communication, education, and public awareness and resource mobilization. 

The guidance document, launched in English, is now available in the other 5 UN languages: Spanish, French, Russian, Arabic, and Chinese.
