COOP4CBD

This overall aim is to be achieved through a three-fold approach:

1. Develop and implement mechanisms to engage scientific expertise more effectively within CBD processes, to inform EU and its Member States and associated countries’ positions and briefing their negotiators;
2. Increase access to European expertise through enhanced mechanisms for promoting technical and scientific cooperation, and through targeted capacity-building; and
3. Contribute to the development of an effective process for monitoring and review of the efforts of Parties to implement the post-2020 global biodiversity framework and the CBD.

RBINS is involved in this project through three BIOPOLS entities, each focusing on specific aspects of the project’s objectives:

1. The Belgian National Focal Point to the CBD (CBD-NFP), hosting the Clearing House Mechanism
2. The Belgian Biodiversity Platform (BBPf), and
3. The Capacities for Biodiversity and Sustainable Development (CEBioS) programme

In return the COOP4CBD project will help to reinforce the role of BIOPOLS in:

• Enhancing capacities in European countries and elsewhere, as a result of increased access to technical and scientific cooperation opportunities and targeted capacity-building.
• Contributing to informed decision-making within CBD processes, as a result of improved access to relevant experts engaging in CBD processes and supporting preparation of negotiations.
• Improving delivery of the post-2020 global biodiversity framework, as a result of improved implementation of the monitoring framework and review processes.
• Increasing coherence in implementing different intergovernmental agreements and processes, as a result of enhanced coordination, and
• More coordinated use of European expertise in implementing the CBD, as a result of efforts made by the project to identify, inform and engage European experts.
