Armenia is walking the talk on synergy in the implementation of UNFCCC and CBD.

Today in Yerevan, with United Nations in Armenia's support, the country held a joint launch event of its National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).

📑 Note: At the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) Conference of Parties in February 2025, Parties adopted a resolution on ISRAs and encouraged all countries to include spatial planning measures for ISRAs in their National Biodiversity Strategy Action Plans (NBSAP).

Seminario web: Planificación territorial integrada
El Marco Mundial de Biodiversidad Kunming-Montreal (MMB) insta a los países a reducir la pérdida de biodiversidad a casi cero para 2030 mediante procesos participativos de planificación espacial y/o gestión eficaz, integrados e inclusivos con la biodiversidad. En particular, los datos geoespaciales son fundamentales para alcanzar varios de los objetivos del MMB, entre ellos la identificación de las zonas importantes para la conservación de la biodiversidad (Metas 1 y 3), la restauración (Meta 2) y la planificación y gestión eficaces del uso de la tierra y el mar (Meta 1), con resultados positivos para las metas 4 y 12 del MMB. Mediante la planificación espacial y el uso eficaz de los datos mundiales y nacionales, los países también pueden identificar dónde deben actuar para alcanzar sus metas nacionales en materia de biodiversidad y utilizar estos planes como herramienta para integrar la biodiversidad en las políticas gubernamentales (Meta 14). Este seminario web comenzará con algunos antecedentes sobre la planificación espacial y su importancia para alcanzar la ambición del MMB, proporcionará un contexto relevante, con un enfoque específico en la integración regional a través de los Centros de Apoyo Técnico (TSCC), seguido de una presentación del Centro Regional para el Mapeo de Recursos para el Desarrollo (RCMRD). A continuación, los participantes escucharán al jefe de la Secretaría de Áreas Clave para la Biodiversidad (KBA), que presentará evaluaciones actualizadas de sitios de importancia mundial; a continuación, se presentará un estudio de caso de Mozambique. A continuación, los participantes aprenderán sobre las Áreas de Apoyo Vital Esencial (ELSA), un enfoque que permite aprovechar los datos sobre biodiversidad — incluidas las KBA, el cambio climático y el desarrollo sostenible — y ayudar a los países a desarrollar planes espaciales integrados adaptados a sus EPANB. Un estudio de caso de Sudáfrica ayudará a pasar de la teoría a la práctica, y los participantes podrán imaginar cómo serían estos enfoques contextualizados a sus circunstancias nacionales y cómo pueden ayudar a los gobiernos nacionales a cumplir sus compromisos con el CDB.

Webinaire: Aménagement du territoire intégré
Le Cadre mondial pour la biodiversité fr Kunming-Montréal (CMB) appelle les pays à réduire la perte de biodiversité à un niveau proche de zéro d'ici 2030 grâce à une planification spatiale participative, intégrée et inclusive de la biodiversité et/ou à des processus de gestion efficaces. Les données géospatiales sont notamment essentielles pour atteindre plusieurs objectifs du CMB, notamment l'identification des zones importantes pour la biodiversité en vue de leur conservation (cibles 1 et 3), leur restauration (cible 2) et la planification et la gestion efficaces de l'utilisation des terres et des mers (cible 1), avec des résultats positifs pour les cibles 4 à 12 du CMB. Grâce à l'aménagement du territoire et à l'utilisation efficace des données mondiales et nationales, les pays peuvent également identifier les domaines dans lesquels ils doivent agir pour atteindre leurs objectifs nationaux en matière de biodiversité et utiliser ces plans comme un outil pour intégrer la biodiversité dans toutes les politiques gouvernementales (cible 14). Ce webinaire s'ouvrira sur une présentation du contexte de l'aménagement du territoire et de son importance pour la réalisation des ambitions du CMB, avec un accent particulier sur l'intégration régionale par le biais des centres d'appui technique (TSCC), suivie d'une présentation du Centre régional de cartographie des ressources pour le développement (RCMRD). Les participants entendront ensuite le chef du secrétariat des zones clés pour la biodiversité (KBA) présenter les dernières évaluations des sites d'importance mondiale, suivies d'une étude de cas sur le Mozambique. Les participants découvriront ensuite les zones essentielles pour le maintien de la vie (ELSA), une approche qui permet d'exploiter les données sur la biodiversité – y compris les KBA, le changement climatique et le développement durable – et d'aider les pays à élaborer des plans spatiaux intégrés adaptés à leur SPANB. Une étude de cas sur l'Afrique du Sud permettra de passer de la théorie à la pratique. Les participants pourront imaginer à quoi pourraient ressembler ces approches dans le contexte de leur pays et comment elles pourraient aider les gouvernements nationaux à respecter leurs engagements envers la CDB.

Webinar: Integrated spatial planning
The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF) calls on countries to bring biodiversity loss close to zero by 2030 through participatory, integrated, and biodiversity-inclusive spatial planning and/or effective management processes. In particular, geospatial data is critical to achieving several KMGBF targets, including identifying the important areas for biodiversity for conservation (Targets 1 and 3), restoration (Target 2), and effective land- and sea-use planning and management (Target 1), with positive outcomes for KMGBF targets 4-12. Through spatial planning and effective use of global and national data, countries can also identify where to take action to achieve their national biodiversity targets and use these plans as a tool to mainstream biodiversity across governments policies (Target 14). Spatial data can also be used to strengthen 7th National Reports, due 28 February 2026. This webinar will open with some background on spatial planning and its importance to achieve the ambitions of the KMGBF. The Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) will provide relevant context, with a specific focus on the regional integration through the Technical Support Centers (TSCCs), with a presentation from the Regional Centre for Mapping of Resources for Development (RCMRD) following. Participants will then hear from the Head of the Key Biodiversity Areas (KBA) Secretariat on the value of making updated assessments of globally significant sites for biodiversity; a case study from Mozambique will follow. Participants will then learn about the Essential Life Support Areas (ELSAs), an approach that can harness data on biodiversity – including the KBAs, climate change, and sustainable development – and help countries develop integrated spatial plans customized to their National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP). A case study from South Africa will help move the conversation from theoretical to practical, enabling participants to envision what these approaches could look like contextualized to their national circumstances, and how they can support national governments to meet their commitments to the CBD.

📄 #CaseStudies | 🌿Uganda is actively using #KBAs to conserve its freshwater biodiversity by identifying, mapping, and prioritising these areas for conservation investments. 👉 For instance, the government is using KBA data for the NBSAP II.
