Actions to close knowledge gaps
The following actions are being taken forward by expert group members and other partners. These actions stem from knowledge gaps identified in the scoping paper on knowledge gaps in integrating forest and grassland biodiversity and ecosystems into adaptation strategies. As part of being demand-driven, each proposal is being guided by the needs of constituted bodies and institutions arrangements under the UNFCCC as presented below.
Get involved in the ongoing actions noted below or propose a new action. If you are interested, get in touch:
