GBF – Naturavtalen  

Name of the Biosphere Reserve: Nordhordland UNESCO Biosfære
Main goal/​purpose:
  • Mapping: By going into each of the 23 goals in the nature agreement, we will find out what we know and what knowledge and tools we need in the work to achieve the goals in the nature agreement.
  • Competence: We wish to increase the competence of the municipalities on how they can work to achieve the goals in the nature agreement.
  • Communication: The nature agreement must be well known both politically and administratively in the municipalities in Nordhordland.

Target groups: The administration in the municipality
Stakeholders involved: The administration in the municipality, Nordhordland UNESCO Biosphere and University of Bergen
Project period: 2024

Description of the project

We will examine how the Nordhordland UNESCO biosphere reserve can be a helpful tool to assist the municipalities in reaching the targets in the Nature Convention. Through the project, we will look for good processes and working methods that can have transfer value between the municipalities.

Results and effects 

In the project, we want to look at what the nature agreement means for the municipalities in Nordhordland, and how they can deliver on the nature agreement.

Focal points:

1. Conservation of Biodiversity
5. International Cooperation and Networking

This is done through: 
The GBF project will engage and develop how the municipality in Nordhordland can work actively with the nature agreement in their tasks and challenges. Something that complements objective 1 well: They serve as living laboratories for testing and implementing strategies to conserve and restore biodiversity, aligning with the goals of the Kunming-Montreal Framework.
