アジアの自然保護を推進するために、知識をより効果的に活用するにはどうすればいいのか。私たちはどのようなネットワーク、プラットフォーム、ツールを使って互いに交流すればよいのでしょうか？何千年もの間、地域レベルで自然を保護してきたコミュニティの知識と知恵をどのように活用すればいいのか？私たちが学んでいることをどのような形でパッケージ化し、共有すればいいのか？
これらは、先日開催された生物多様性のための知識マネジメント（KM4B）アジア地域ワークショップの参加者が議論した疑問の一部である。このワークショップは、国連生物多様性条約（CBD）事務局とASEAN生物多様性センターが協力してタイのバンコクで開催したもので、アジア大陸の20カ国以上から、政府、市民社会、地域・国際機関の代表者が参加した。
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.
