Contributions from science to implementation of the post-2020 global biodiversity framework Concept note

The purpose of the fifth Science-Policy Forum for Biodiversity and the eighth International Conference on Sustainability Science is to provide space for scientists, policy makers and other relevant stakeholders the opportunity to discuss and make recommendations on how science, technology and innovation can contribute to the effective implementation of the post-2020 global biodiversity framework.

Participants will share experiences, exchange knowledge, ideas and diverse perspectives, showcase innovative solutions and tools for addressing technical issues and facilitating the implementation of the post-2020 global biodiversity framework. They will also consider the key factors for success and for scaling-up action to achieve measurable impacts on biodiversity at global scales, and adopt an action agenda to build effective cooperation, increase global capacities, and scale up complementary research, building on the outputs and recommendations from the joint virtual sessions held in April 2021 and from the ICSS 8 sessions held in January 2022.
