Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of the major barriers to sharing data, information and knowledge related to the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, together with an overview of a number of initiatives which are already addressing these barriers. On the basis of this analysis, the gaps in current activity, and areas where additional support is required, are identified in a series of recommendations for future actions.
This paper has been prepared as an input to planning for the future of the Conservation Commons, and as a contribution to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the future Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES). It will also be relevant to a range of other data-related initiatives, including Global Earth Observation System of Systems, and to other assessment processes.
This paper was prepared by the UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre in its capacity as the Secretariat of the Friends of the Conservation Commons, and incorporates input from a wide range of expertise across the sector, and in particular staff of the Global Biodiversity Information Facility.
