UNEP-WCMC delivers capacity building activities tailored to the needs of each of our partner countries and facilitates regional and global knowledge sharing. All capacity building materials developed as part of the Initiative are made freely available on the NEA Initiative website.
The capacity building activities mentioned include:
1. One-to-one country support tailored to each country partner on technical and methodological aspects of the assessment process, as well as strengthening the science-policy-practitioner dialogue.
2. Webinars, in-person and online workshops relating to specific stages of the assessment process (e.g. scoping stage, using assessment findings, roles and responsibilities) and on specific technical topics (e.g. scenarios, multiple-evidence based approach, economic valuation).
3. Guidance documents which aim to support countries to tailor the IPBES assessment process to specific national contexts, strengthen the science-policy-practitioner dialogue and enhance the use of national ecosystem assessments to support decision-making, including national level implementation of multi-lateral environmental agreements .
4. Capturing and synthesizing lessons learned on conducting sub-global ecosystem assessments, and supporting networking opportunities for practitioners involved in such assessments across the world.

The NEA Initiative will deliver further capacity building activities . This year, we have a global capacity building workshop planned and we will continue to organise webinars and develop further capacity building resources.
Our support is delivered in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) through the Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services Network (BES-Net).
Financial support for the NEA Initiative is provided by the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety of the Federal Republic of Germany.

The capacity building programme will be imparted as Training of Trainee (ToT) mode to the panchayat level through identified agencies like state rural development institutes (SIRDs) and non-governmental institutions. The programme is designed under the larger perspective laid down by the "Convention of Biodiversity" (CBD), the "Intergovernmental platform for biodiversity and ecosystem services" (IPBES) and the governance approaches adopted in India's Biodiversity Act 2002. As envisioned at intergovernmental levels, the linkages between the 'nature's contribution to the people' (NCP) and 'good quality of life' (GQL) have been taken as a guiding principle to develop capacity building modules for this programme. The classification of different nature's contributions under material, non-material and regulative functions of biodiversity received immense attention in science policy platforms. The ToT will effectively disseminate the knowledge and skill required for improving the governance of biodiversity and ecosystem services at the grassroots level through Panchayat Raj. It will also help to impart the socio-economic and governance dimensions of biodiversity and ecosystem services to 2.6 lakhs panchayats in India .
 We may approach the National Biodiversity Authority for their support also.

United Kingdom		 Richmond building portsmouth po13de United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland United Kingdom https://www.port.ac.uk/research/research-centres-and-groups/centre-for-blue-governance Training Course on Blue Economy valuation toolkit Learning material (e.g., video, presentation, booklet, article and website) Policy instruments, policy support tools and methodologies The lack of knowledge of blue resources at stake is a major gap hindering the sustainable harnessing
of Blue Economy resources, policy development and implementation on the Blue Economy. As an
example, more than 80 per cent of the oceans remain completely unmapped. This is combined with
an equally poor mapping of freshwater and groundwater resources on the continent. To address
this, ECA has embarked on the development of a Blue Economy valuation toolkit aimed to guide
data collection and analysis for the socio-economic assessment of blue resources, including goods
and services generated; which in turn is expected to provide an accurate snapshot of the potential of
the Blue Economy and to help inform decision-making.
In addition, there is still lack of clear understanding of the concept and multisectoral approach of the
Blue Economy by policy makers and stakeholders. ECA has played an instrumental role in the past
few years in assisting member States and regional bodies in developing their first strategic policy
frameworks using the methodology provided by the Blue Economy Policy Handbook for Africa (ECA
flagship publication).
Countries such as Seychelles have decided to fully focus on the Blue Economy to sustain their
post-Covid19 recovery. Indeed, due to the vastness of its opportunities the Blue Economy repre- sents more and more a very promising outlet to build economies back better, for sustainable growth
within the context of the socio-economic crisis generated by the Covid 19 pandemic.
Hence, there is need to build and develop capacities on the Blue Economy concept, approach,
related policy and valuation tools to raise awareness, disseminate knowledge and enable key players
to apply it through tailor-made assessments as well as policy and regulatory frameworks and action
plans. IDEP in partnership with the Centre for Blue Governance, University of Portsmouth, conside- ring its importance has decided to organize a second edition accommodating the participation of a
Portuguese audience.
This training falls under Cluster 4 (Integrated Natural Resource Management) of the training cata- logue adopted by the Technical Advisory Committee of UNIDEP and endorsed by its governing
council.		 UNECA, IDEP, UNESCO FR : https://knowledge.uneca.org/idep/fr/node/115

Objective 2 (a), 4 - A Youth workshop to strengthen the engagement of young people in the work of IPBES and to support the uptake of assessments among young people, other individuals and organisations will be organized. Footnote: The workshop will target individuals representing youth organizations (working on the issues of biodiversity and ecosystem services) that have an active voice in their community. An open call, including selection criteria, will be issued.

The idea is not to explain content to the young, but to listen to the young, to harvest their motivations, concerns and ideas to incorporate them in IPBES work. This could be done by applying nature futures. Potentially, a contribution to the nexus and tc assessments can be envisaged, also the discussion of SUB and Values assessments is an option.

Dear friends and colleagues,
It is my great pleasure and honour to invite you to our 7th Mediterranean Conference on Marine Turtles, scheduled for 18 - 21 October 2022, which is being organized by the University of Abdelmalek Essaadi, Faculty of Sciences_Tetouan and ATOMM. The Conference will take place in Morocco, in the city of Tetouan on the coast of the Western Mediterranean, one of the most important feeding and migratory habitats for Mediterranean sea turtles.
The city of Tetouan is one of Morocco's most famous tourist destinations with a diverse historical and cultural heritage. Tetouan is considered "the most Andalusian city in Morocco”. Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, the area contains beautiful landscapes and historical monuments. The logo of the 7th conference with the map of the Mediterranean Sea symbolizes the common history of peoples and our contemporary efforts aimed at the conservation of sea turtles and the marine environment.
Since the beginning, in 2001, our Mediterranean conferences have been supported by the UNEP MAP-RAC/SPA, Bern Convention, the Convention for Migratory Species, and now by US Fish and Wildlife Service. Their support will help us bring invited speakers, and provide travel and accommodation grants in order to make this conference available to as many of our colleagues as possible.
We will invite prominent colleagues working in the field of sea turtle conservation to discuss collaborative opportunities. This is why the theme of the 7th Conference is “Sea Turtles Conservation after the Pandemic”.
The conference venue is the Sofitel Tamuda Bay Beach And Spa (https://www.sofitel-tamudabay.com), located 15 minutes away in Tetouan. The Sofitel Tamuda Bay Beach And Spa chain of hotels and resorts has a history of supporting environmental and conservation projects. They have offered us a good deal for congress facilities and accommodation for participants. There are several international airports nearby (Tangier and Tetouan Airports) and Taxi shuttles service from Tangier (1 hour) and Tetouan (15 minutes) to the Hotel.
I invite you all – students, professionals, and all who care about sea turtles and the future of the Mediterranean– to register and come to Tetouan for the 7th Mediterranean Conference on Marine Turtles. My team and I will do our best to make this Conference a memorable scientific, professional, and social event – the reunion of old friends with the new generation of sea turtle researchers and conservationists.
Looking forward to seeing you all in Tetouan!

An organization/Project or governance infrastructure scoring more than 80% or working to achieve this target can be considered sustainable and other matter of financing instruments and green technologies development are automatically inculcated in it. Therefore,, I suggest to all stakeholder of IPBES to incorporate this tool in all matters of capacity-building processes to achieve the goals of SDG 14 and also make it part of the political declaration of UNOC 2022 to further its implementation through UNCLOS and ISA. It is a great concept to adopt and I hope most of the nations would support it because its implementation gives a win win situation for every one and nothing to loose with respect to Climate Change and environmental impacts.
I am ready to contribute knowledge in this matter, if stakeholders are interested to further its applications and in my opinion it should be taken up before the UNOC 2022, so that some consensus among the stakeholders should be developed before this event for its approval. 		None yet. Not made yet but it should be made through IPBES. Sat, 01/01/2022 - 00:00 Tue, 01/01/2030 - 00:00 16 Trillion USD.
