COP-15 Capacity Building and Development Outcomes
The outcomes of COP-15 focus on capacity building, development, technical and scientific cooperation, and knowledge management. Target 20 aims to strengthen capacity-building, technology transfer, innovation, and cooperation for effective biodiversity conservation. The actions involve South-South, North-South, and triangular cooperation, joint technology development, scientific research programs, and monitoring capacity enhancement to meet implementation needs. Central to these efforts is the promotion of innovation and access to technology while aligning with the framework's goals and targets.

COP 15 Outcomes on Capacity-Building and Development and Technical and Scientific Cooperation Capacity Building and Knowledge Management (CBKM) Unit Implementation Support Division June 2023
COP 15 Outcomes: Capacity Development and Technical and Scientific Cooperation (TSC) Target 20 of GBF: Strengthen CB&D, TT, innovation & TSC A long-term strategic framework for capacity building and development (Annex I) TSC mechanism comprising a network of regional and/or subregional support centres to be coordinated at the global level by a coordination entity (Annex II) An informal advisory group on TSC to provide strategic advice on practical measures, tools and opportunities to promote and facilitate TSC, technology transfer, CB&D, KM and the CHM (Annex III)
COP 15 Side Outcomes on Capacity Development and Technical and Scientific Cooperation (TSC) Other outcomes (in the margins of COP 15): NBSAP Accelerator Partnership Global Knowledge Support Service for Biodiversity (GKSSB) Side event and help desk on the Global Biodiversity Framework Early Action Support (GBF-EAS) Project - Many others
Target 20 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.
Explanation of T20 ACTION (What?) Strengthen and promote capacity-building and development, access to and transfer of technology, development of and access to innovation and technical and scientific cooperation ACTION (How?) Through: South-South, North-South and triangular cooperation joint technology development joint scientific research programmes strengthening scientific research and monitoring capacities Outcome (Why) to meet the needs for effective implementation Qualifier commensurate with the ambition of the goals and targets of the framework
Explanation of T20 Directly linked to Goal D, targets related to the means of implementation - T19 (RM), T21 (KM) - and sections C, I, J & K Some targets specifically reference capacity-building and cooperation T13: Take effective legal, policy, administrative and capacity-building measures T17: Establish, strengthen capacity for, and implement in all countries, biosafety measures T23: where all women and girls have equal opportunity and capacity to contribute to the three objectives of the Convention Supports implementationof all other targets and relevant GBF sections
Indicators for Target 20 Headline indicators Component indicators Complementary indicators None identified/defined as yet None identified/defined as yet None identified SDG Indicators could provide a basis for monitoring this target for now SDG Target 17.9: Enhance international support for implementing effective and targeted capacity-building in developing countries to support national plans to implement all the SDGs Indicator 17.9.1: Dollar value of financial and technical assistance committed to developing countries SDG Target 17.7: Promote the development, transfer, dissemination and diffusion of environmentally sound technologies to developing countries on favourable terms Indicator 17.7.1: Total amount of funding for developing countries to promote the development, transfer, dissemination and diffusion of environmentally sound technologies 7
Indicators for Target 20 Headline indicators Component indicators Complementary indicators None identified/defined as yet None identified/defined as yet None identified SDG Target 17.6: Enhance North-South, South-South and triangular regional and international cooperation on and access to science, technology and innovation and enhance knowledge-sharing including through improved coordination among existing mechanisms and through a global technology facilitation mechanism Indicator 17.6.1: Fixed Internet broadband subscriptions per 100 inhabitants, by speed SDG Target 17.16: Enhance the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development, complemented by multi-stakeholder partnerships that mobilize and share knowledge, expertise, technology and financial resources, to support the achievement of the SDGs Indicator 17.16.1: Number of countries reporting progress in multi-stakeholder development effectiveness monitoring frameworks that support the achievement of the SDGs 8
Decision 15/8 - Section A: Capacity-Building and Development Value-added of the long-term strategic framework for CB&D? Common overarching framework for CB&D Shared understanding of key concepts and principles; Expected high-level capacity results; Guidance including key strategies and approaches for improving the design, implementation, monitoring initiatives/programmes; Mechanisms to facilitate and support implementation at the global, regional and national levels. and evaluation of CB&D Annex 1 of decision 15/8 contains a summarized version of the LTSF. The full version including the ToC is available in document CBD/SBI/3/7/Add.1
Section A: Capacity-Building and Development the process whereby people, organizations and society as a whole unleash, strengthen, create, adapt and maintain capacity over time to achieve positive biodiversity results Enabling environment capacity Individual capacity Organizational capacity
Capacity-Building and Development Parties, Governments &organizations invited, inter alia, to: Use the LTSF to improve the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of their CB&D initiatives and programmes Put in place enabling environments for CB&D Identify and prioritize CB&D needs, in partnership with IPLCs Prepare thematic CB&D action plans and dedicated programmes for specific/group of GBF targets ; include biodiversity CB&D in dev. cooperation frameworks
Capacity-Building and Development The ES was also requested to: Promote awareness of the LTSF Upcoming regional dialogues Enable Parties prepare thematic CB&D action plans Facilitate the development of an island biodiversity CB&D action plan Support Parties to integrate CB&D components into their NBSAPs or develop national CB&D Action Plan Organise a CB&B forum to share experiences, good practices and lessons learned in biodiversity CB&D
Decision 15/8 - Section B: Technical and Scientific Cooperation (TSC) TSC mechanism: a network of regional and/or subregional support centres Global coordination entity (Annex II of decision 15/8) modalities for the operationalization of the global coordination entity will be developed by SBI 4 Secretariat facilitating the process to identify and select organizations that could host the centers -notification to be sent out shorty Criteria for selection (paragraph 4 of annex II)
Section B: Technical and Scientific Cooperation An informal advisory group on TSC established to provide strategic advice on practical measures, tools and opportunities to promote and facilitate TSC, technology transfer, CB&D, KM and the CHM in support of the KM-GBF (Annex III of decision 15/8) First meeting: 14-16 June 2023
Technical and Scientific Cooperation Parties, Governments and organizations invited, inter alia, to: Promote, science, technology, innovation and other knowledge systems in the KMGBF implementation Identify/communicate their TSC needs and, those able to, provide technical assistance Put in place enabling environments for TSC & TT Support the development of biodiversity-related technologies and innovations Strengthen networks and communities of practice to facilitate exchange of experiences, skills and know-how
