Biodiversity monitoring frameworks are systematic approaches designed to assess the status and trends of biodiversity over time. These frameworks provide essential data and insights that inform policy decisions, track progress towards conservation goals, and enhance accountability in biodiversity management.
Effective biodiversity monitoring is critical for understanding the health of ecosystems, identifying threats to species and habitats, and measuring the success of conservation efforts. By establishing robust monitoring systems, countries can make informed decisions that align with global biodiversity commitments, such as those outlined in the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF).
UNEP supports countries in developing and implementing biodiversity monitoring frameworks. UNEP provides technical assistance, tools, and resources to enhance monitoring capacity and improve data collection methodologies. By facilitating collaboration among governments, scientists, and stakeholders, UNEP helps strengthen the global response to biodiversity loss.
