The report looks at current coordination and collaboration between six biodiversity-related conventions and identifies options to strengthen potential synergies in four key areas: 1) science – policy interface, 2) implementation of the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 and National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs), 3) national reporting, and 4) capacity-building. The report was commissioned by the Ministry of the Environment of Finland.
