EuropaBON will address this challenge by building on stakeholder engagement and knowledge exchange to identify user and policy needs for biodiversity monitoring. More specifically, EuropaBON will:
In EuropaBON, IIASA leads Work Package (WP) 2 on stakeholder engagement. This WP oversees the processes of identifying critical stakeholders to map out user and policy needs for biodiversity monitoring and to facilitate knowledge exchange via a series of workshops. The project will therefore be continuously expanding its network by recruiting new project members and stakeholders. WP2 further aims to investigate the feasibility of setting up a Biodiversity Monitoring Coordination Centre in Europe, which can coordinate monitoring activities across Europe, streamline knowledge and data, and facilitate policy uptake of biodiversity data for multiple purposes and policy objectives. IIASA is also involved in WP 5, which will be showcasing how biodiversity monitoring data and best-in-class biodiversity models can track species and ecosystems conservation status through space and time and report on the effectiveness of biodiversity conservation measures.
The EuropaBON Consortium brings together 15 partners from 8 European Union countries, Norway and the UK. Its partners are:
