Strengthen capacity-building and development, access to and transfer of technology, and promote development of and access to innovation and technical and scientific cooperation, including through South-South, North-South and triangular cooperation, to meet the needs for effective implementation, particularly in developing countries, fostering joint technology development and joint scientific research programmes for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and strengthening scientific research and monitoring capacities, commensurate with the ambition of the goals and targets of the Framework.
Introduction
In order to implement the Kunming-Montreal Biodiversity Framework, countries rely on sufficient knowledge about nature and the natural environment, which requires access to technology and other good tools, including nature monitoring and ecosystem-based management. This necessitates fostering collaboration in research and development, both between countries and across regions. Currently, expertise and capacity in this field vary greatly between countries and within countries.
