The IAI joins the NBSAP Accelerator Partnership to boost global action on biodiversity
The Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) has been officially recognized as a member of the NBSAP Accelerator Partnership, an innovative collaborative platform led by the governments of Colombia and Germany. This consortium aims to accelerate ambitious biodiversity actions, in alignment with the implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) and the global vision of “living in harmony with nature” by 2050.
With this membership, the IAI reinforces its commitment to supporting its member countries in the development and implementation of stronger and more effective National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs). From its approach based on transdisciplinary research and scientific diplomacy, the IAI will contribute to the regional coordination and collaboration necessary to halt and reverse biodiversity loss globally by 2030.
The NBSAP Accelerator Partnership promotes inclusive “whole-of-government and whole-of-society” approaches, encouraging the participation of countries, international organizations, indigenous communities, women, and youth. This comprehensive perspective seeks to strengthen the political and social visibility of NBSAPs, as well as to enhance the implementation of actions in all sectors.
As a member, the IAI promotes access to key services, such as:
- Intermediation mechanisms that connect the specific needs identified by countries in their NBSAPs with tailored technical and financial support.
- Facilitators to support the identification of requests and mobilize key actors in the implementation of NBSAPs.
- Learning and knowledge-sharing opportunities, fostering peer-to-peer dialogue and access to specialized resources.
This alliance represents a key step forward in regional efforts to address biodiversity challenges and reaffirms a shared commitment to a more sustainable future.
This partnership marks an important milestone in the region for joint efforts to respond to countries' biodiversity needs, consolidating the common goal of a sustainable future. For more information on the services of the NBSAP Accelerator Partnership, visit: www.nbsapaccelerator.org (in English)
