GBIF aims to empower its global network through various capacity enhancement activities designed to facilitate the effective mobilization and use of biodiversity information. This comprehensive approach seeks to cultivate and strengthen a global community of practice by developing and delivering curricula on biodiversity data mobilization and use, producing documentation and other learning resources, establishing regional knowledge networks, and engaging individuals as volunteer mentors, translators and ambassadors.

Mobilizing biodiversity data
Developing the capacity to mobilize biodiversity data through GBIF is essential for reducing knowledge gaps and ensuring a stable foundation for data mobilization. As GBIF evolves and adapts data standards and models, further capacity development is needed to support the uptake of new data publishing methods and integrate new communities.
