Biodiversity Innovation & Solutions Fair

The UN Biodiversity Lab <https://www.unbiodiversitylab.org/> will be showcased at the COP 14 Biodiversity and Innovation Fair. The UN Biodiversity Lab is a free, open source online platform that allows policymakers to access over 80 global geospatial data layers, to upload their own datasets, and to analyze multiple datasets related to the Aichi Biodiversity Targets. At the booth, you can engage with technical specialists from UNDP, UN Environment, and UN Environment-WCMC. They can show you how other countries are using spatial data in their 6NR. You can also provide feedback to the developers of the platform.

Geotechnologies and open data will play a key role to guide policy and improve conservation efforts around the world.


We need to speak for the voiceless - the rest of the estimated 10 million species on the planet, which form soil, water, air, and provide food, shelter, medicine and the spiritual and physical well being of humanity.


Best wishes,


Suchith
