15. Improved and Readily Accessible Information on Biodiversity
ENBiodiversity related information will be accessible to all with the objectives of biodiversity management, awareness, research, technology advancement, among others.
ACTION 15.1: Existing information on biodiversity will be compiled and centralised for public's accessibility.
ACTION 15.2: Existing biodiversity centres will be enhanced so that they can further effectively carry out their function as national centres for biodiversity management and information.
Alignment
GBF-G-A. Ecosystems are conserved, extinctions are halted and genetic diversity is maintained
GBF-G-B. Biodiversity is sustainably used and its contributions to people are maintained, enhanced or restored
GBF-G-C. Benefits from the use of genetic resources are shared and substantially increased
GBF-G-D. The biodiversity funding gap of 700 billion USD is progressively closed by ensuring adequate means of implementation are available.
