562 | Wed, 19/04/2023 | SBarudanovic | Bosnia and Herzegovina Uses IPBES Outputs to Inform National Ecosystem Assessment | Bosnian (26207) | Bosnia and Herzegovina, under the coordination of UNEP-WCMC, and with the support of IKI, is carrying out a National Ecosystem Assessment that startes from the IPBES conceptual framework, with the use of key findings from a number of IPBES Assessment Reports - especially from the Europe and Central Asia Regional Assessment Report. Bosnia and Herzegovina strives to assess its own knowledge that is relevant for better informed decisions about biodiversity and nature's contributions to people. The lack of relevant data and indicators encouraged the team, gathered from scientists from all over Bosnia and Herzegovina, to think innovatively about the simple use of significant, but scattered knowledge. As a result, for the first time, they are talking about mapping NCP/ecosystem services, direct and indirect drivers and scenarios for biodiversity in the country. |
