FROM GOOD PRACTICE TO NEXT PRACTICE - A GUIDE
This guide is designed to help local communities not only improve but also foster collaboration across Biosphere Reserves, other UNESCO sites, and municipalities, enabling shared learning and innovation. It outlines the process, providing an expanded explanation of each step along with concrete examples tailored to the Nordic Biosphere Reserves.
The guide has been developed through ongoing discussions among representatives of the Nordic UNESCO Biosphere Reserves, focusing on how to use these sites as model areas and hubs for sustainable development.
This collaborative process gradually led to the formulation of a step-by-step approach - comprising seven steps - that allows all stakeholders to work in a structured manner, beginning with an assessment of current good practices and identified successful strategies and for inspiration, several potential initiatives were developed, complemented by selected examples of good practice.
The guide is divided into three parts:
- Part 1 presents a 7 steps method for transitioning from 'Good Practice to Next Practice' by increasing capacity and catalyzing local actions for the GBF.
- Part 2 outlines potential initiatives that can be applied to support the GBF.
- Part 3 provides 12 concrete examples showcasing how Nordic Biosphere Reserves are working with biodiversity and related initiatives in support of the GBF.
