Policy

This is a crucial decade for tackling the global nature crisis, and policy ambition, action, and cooperation at global and national scales is critical to success. 

We support decision-makers to take action for people and the planet. We are internationally recognised for our experience and expertise in providing policy support to governments and intergovernmental agreements and processes.  

Our team helps governments, both collectively and individually, to be effective in meeting the biodiversity-related goals and targets established through international conventions and national-level policies. We enable and enhance decision-making at all scales by improving the knowledge base for understanding and addressing biodiversity loss. 

We work to support the delivery of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity’s Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework, the integration of nature across the UN system through the forthcoming UN Common Approach to Biodiversity, and the delivery of various biodiversity-related multilateral environmental agreements.
