🌿 With the generous support of the Government of Germany (through the International Climate Initiative - IKI), BES-Net is driving impactful change in biodiversity conservation and ecosystem management globally.

Through BES-Net II, we’re formalizing partnerships between scientists, policymakers and practitioners to align decisions and actions for biodiversity protection. This includes promoting national ecosystem assessments in four new countries and scaling the IPBES Trialogue approach to 40 nations.

A key highlight is the #BESsolutionFund, which will channel catalytic funding to implement IPBES assessment recommendations and drive biodiversity solutions across 18 countries. From strengthening institutions to restoring ecosystems, this partnership is delivering tangible impacts on the ground.

A huge THANK YOU to #IKI for their steadfast commitment to a sustainable future! 🙏
