The Environmental Policy and Planning Division (EPPD), in collaboration with United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Trinidad and
Tobago, Aruba, Curacao and Sint Maarten is looking forward to executing the
pollination-centered project “Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services
Network (BES-Net): Implementation of Component I in Trinidad and Tobago”. The Biodiversity
and Ecosystem Services Network (BES-Net) is a capacity sharing “network
of networks” that promotes dialogue between science, policy and practice for
more effective management of biodiversity and ecosystems as an integral part of
long-term human well-being and sustainable development. BES-Net complements and
contributes to the capacity building work of the Intergovernmental Platform for
Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) by aligning its activities
with the IPBES global assessment themes and applying the related IPBES guidance
documents.
BES-Net is a consortium of the United Nations
(UN) agencies, which includes the UNDP,
the UN Environment Programme World Conservation Monitoring Centre
(UNEP-WCMC) and the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
(UNESCO) and is hosted by the UNDP Global Policy Center on Resilient Ecosystems
and Desertification (GC-RED). It is funded by the International Climate
Initiative (IKI) of the Federal Minister for the Environment, Nature
Conservation, and Nuclear Safety (BMU).
The project will focus on improving the
science, policy and practice of pollinators and pollination services in
Trinidad and Tobago. As the project is currently in its development phase,
stakeholder consultations were conducted virtually between October and December
alongside the creation of the workplan. The development of the project is
coordinated by Lena Dempewolf with the assistance of consultant Shane Ballah.
