This report presents key results, findings and recommendations developed under Biodiversa+ in its two first years regarding development and harmonisation of transnational biodiversity monitoring schemes.
Drawing on recent initiatives and Biodiversa-funded projects, the report focuses on three pivotal processes that underpin the uptake of NbS knowledge into policy, practice, and decision-making.
The pilot examined and evaluated the current state of biodiversity monitoring governance, data management and interoperability, and data standards across participating countries and regions.
The pilot combines traditional morphological and DNA-based methods into a unified framework and develops standardised procedures for soil biodiversity assessment and reporting, in Europe and beyond.
This pilot is developing new methods to monitor invasive alien species, focusing on plants and insects. It uses image recognition techniques based on computer vision and deep learning.
A report giving an overview of the main policies and initiatives related to biodiversity indicators across Europe and globally, and identifying the key areas for indicator work within Biodiversa+.
This guide offers strategies for aligning monitoring protocols, emphasising collaboration, multiscale approaches, and diverse national practices.
Learn about policy relevance in research, how it’s evaluated in Biodiversa+ calls, and relevant policies for your projects.
A report evaluating how well Biodiversa+ has addressed IPBES-identified knowledge gaps in its strategic planning, research calls, and projects, with recommendations for improvement.
A report providing guidance and identifying the main knowledge gaps and research needs to be addressed as part of a whole-of-society approach to societal transformation for biodiversity.
