To support assessment teams on communicating the outcomes of national ecosystems assessments, UNEP-WCMC developed the Communications Toolkit for National Ecosystem Assessments in collaboration with international partners from the Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services Network (BES-Net).  

In this webinar, audiences will learn about the toolkit and experiences and lessons learned from partner countries in integrating media and communications in their assessments.   

National ecosystem assessments are an up-to-date, comprehensive, and critical synthesis of knowledge on biodiversity and ecosystem services, and their linkages to people. They lay out the status of biodiversity, drivers of change and the implications for those relying on it. The knowledge base that is produced provides evidence for decision-makers to formulate and improve policies, and inform governance and management actions in support of the Framework’s Targets.  

The webinar aims to:  

• Present an overview of the Communications Toolkit for National Ecosystem Assessments and its potential contribution to the CBD CEPA programme in line with the Framework.  

• Share experiences of partner countries to integrate media and communications in their national ecosystem assessment process. 

This webinar is organised as part of the Sub-Global Assessment Network (SGAN) and is relevant to assessment practitioners and experts, as well as policymakers, researchers, civil society and private sector representatives, and media and communication professionals engaging with biodiversity and ecosystem services.
