p Promoting interdisciplinary
research and problem-solving
approaches with filling theobservational and knowledge
gaps,
p Promoting data sharing anddata accessibility through/by
networks of the observation
networks,
p Delivering our information andknowledge to stakeholders
and global platforms

Objectives of the Workshop

The 13th APBON Workshop will be organized by interactive discussions bybringing ideas from participants for generating plans of integrative
collaborations with the clear objectives below.
A) Scoping collaborative work plan of APBON in the next ca. 4 years (~2025),
which is the first half of APBON’s strategic plan toward 2030.
B) Preparing inputs/deliverables to the 14th AOGEO Symposium (10-12November 2021) for discussing biodiversity-related issues and for scoping
2023-2025 AOGEO Implementation Plan document, and a shortpresentation at the GEO Week 2021 side event (AOGEO highlights, tbc).

Focus of the Workshop sessions
1. Identifying Integrated knowledge and research/synthesis design (cf.,baseline data for detecting change; socio-ecological boundaries;
conservation guideline; joint climate-biodiversity targets; ecosystemservice analysis; respond to Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework)
2. Analyzing data availability and accessibility, and exploring data sharing(through networking)
3. Collaboration with partners (e.g., Key Biodiversity Areas, AOGEO)
4. Engagement with stakeholders (à contribution of APBON to society:e.g., contribution to National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans(CBD), IPBES assessments, etc.)
