Conocimiento de la biodiversidad en Asia: hoja de ruta para el futuro

Taller regional para Asia sobre Gestión del Conocimiento para la Biodiversidad (KM4B)

ASEAN Centre for Biodiversity

¿Cómo podemos aprovechar mejor los conocimientos para impulsar la conservación de la naturaleza en Asia? ¿Qué tipo de redes, plataformas y herramientas necesitamos para intercambiar entre nosotros? ¿Cómo podemos aprovechar los conocimientos y la sabiduría de las comunidades que llevan milenios protegiendo la naturaleza a nivel local? ¿En qué formatos empaquetamos y compartimos lo que vamos aprendiendo?

Éstas son algunas de las preguntas que debatieron los participantes en el reciente taller regional asiático Knowledge Management for Biodiversity (KM4B). El taller, organizado en Bangkok (Tailandia) por la Secretaría del Convenio de las Naciones Unidas sobre la Diversidad Biológica (CDB) en colaboración con el Centro de Biodiversidad de la ASEAN, reunió a participantes de más de 20 países de todo el continente, en representación de gobiernos, sociedad civil y organizaciones regionales e internacionales.

Knowledge management underpins the success of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, by enabling the collection, organization, sharing, and application of biodiversity knowledge to support effective planning, policy development, implementation, monitoring and reporting. The regional workshops of the KM4B initiative help enhance countries’ knowledge management capacities by identifying common challenges, best practices and developing roadmaps. The workshop produced the “Knowledge Agenda for Biodiversity in Asian countries” outlining key steps across 10 priority areas, ranging from knowledge partnerships to infrastructures, which would support implementation of National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs) and the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF).     

The PANORAMA partnership worked closely with the CBD Secretariat, providing advice on the design of the workshops and presenting. PANORAMA as an established tool that can supports knowledge capture, exchange, analysis and dissemination. PANORAMA was introduced as a platform that, offers a neutral and inclusive space that elevates local practitioners’ knowledge to, inform national and global policy processes. By providing visibility to country-led biodiversity solutions, PANORAMA facilitates peer-to-peer learning through both online and offline formats. Its focus on capturing and sharing practitioners’ reflected insights complements data and information focused platforms and initiatives – an aspect positively highlighted by workshop participants.

PANORAMA partners will continue to support countries in Asia and beyond to anchor knowledge management in NBSAPs and support knowledge exchange for their implementation. Collaboration with the CBD Secretariat- formalized through a memorandum of understanding (MoU) - will also continue including to implement tagging of Solutions with relevant GBF targets, the interlinking of the PANORAMA platform with CBD-managed digital systems, and support on shaping the future of the KM4B initiative.
