Comment pouvons-nous exploiter plus efficacement les connaissances pour promouvoir la conservation de la nature en Asie ? De quels types de réseaux, de plateformes et d'outils avons-nous besoin pour échanger les uns avec les autres ? Comment tirer parti des connaissances et de la sagesse des communautés qui protègent la nature au niveau local depuis des millénaires ? Sous quels formats devons-nous présenter et partager ce que nous apprenons ?

Telles sont quelques-unes des questions sur lesquelles se sont penchés les participants au récent atelier régional asiatique sur la gestion des connaissances pour la biodiversité (KM4B). L'atelier, organisé à Bangkok (Thaïlande) par le secrétariat de la Convention des Nations unies sur la diversité biologique (CDB) en collaboration avec le Centre de l'ANASE pour la biodiversité, a rassemblé des participants de plus de 20 pays du continent, représentant des gouvernements, la société civile, ainsi que des organisations régionales et internationales.

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.
