Why attend
Join us to explore how CBD Technical Support Centres are turning global biodiversity goals into real action on the ground. Hear success stories, engage with experts and academia, and discover how scaling up TSCs can spark partnerships, solutions, and investments for a resilient, nature-positive future.
Session Description
This side event will spotlight how CBD Technical Support Centres (TSCs), including those led by IUCN, are helping countries turn global biodiversity commitments into real change on the ground. Since their launch, TSCs have been working with governments, communities, and partners to strengthen National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs) through capacity building, policy support, and technical assistance.Participants will hear examples of regional cooperation and innovation, including the role of universities and research institutions in bringing scientific knowledge and training into practice. The event will also highlight how TSCs are bridging global ambition with local realities by linking biodiversity with climate action, food systems, restoration, and livelihoods.
Through dialogue with experts and partners, the session will explore opportunities to scale up and sustain TSC operations—showing why investing in them is a smart step toward resilient, nature-positive futures.
