Through the trialogue, countries supported by the BES Solution Fund – catalytic support provided by BES-Net translate knowledge about nature into actionable and sustainable policies and practices.

The Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services Network (BES-Net) holds a trialogue in Hanoi from 4 to 6 October 2023, through which countries supported by the BES Solution Fund – catalytic support provided by BES-Net translate knowledge about nature into actionable and sustainable policies and practices.

It aims to bring policy, science, and practice communities together to assess national efforts, share insights on challenges and opportunities, and jointly develop strategies for cooperation and the scaling up of initiatives. Policymakers, scientists, and practitioners from Cameroon, Colombia, Ethiopia, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Nigeria, Trinidad and Tobago and Vietnam join the Trialogue to exchange insights on the implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework based on new evidence emerging at national, regional, and global levels, including those which are generated by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) and strategies for optimal stakeholder engagement.

Since 2016, the Global Policy Centre on Resilient Ecosystems and Desertification (GC-RED) has been managing the Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services Network (BES-Net), a capacity-sharing ‘network of networks’ that promotes dialogue between science, policy, and practice for more effective management of biodiversity and ecosystems, contributing to long-term human well-being and sustainable development. BES-Net complements and contributes to the capacity-building work of the Intergovernmental Platform for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) by aligning its activities with the IPBES global assessment themes and applying the related IPBES guidance documents.
