Centralized and dense network of United Nations biodiversity partnerships influences support of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework

Le résumé fourni par la source

Global progress on biodiversity targets has been slow, and the next decade will therefore be a critical period for effective actions. The United Nations (UN) System has been tasked with supporting member states in this work through delivering strategies in a joined-up approach. However, concerns have been raised about the effectiveness of cross-UN coordination and collaboration efforts. There is currently a knowledge gap around how the UN System works together on biodiversity and the structure of this partnership network. Here, we conducted a network analysis of the UN-wide partnerships on biodiversity, which found this overall network structure to be centralized and dense, posing potential barriers to effective coordination and collaboration efforts. These findings have implications for the ability to impose strategies across the UN System, such as the Common Approach to Biodiversity and Nature-Based Solutions, which calls for UN-wide collective action to support the realization of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.
