Brunei Darussalam
14. Enhance Scientific Knowledge
ENScientific research programmes on biodiversity will be intensified, ensuring that conservation initiatives and actions are research and evidence-based.
ACTION 14.1: Research governance that includes its regulatory frameworks and policies will be further enhanced and streamlined.
ACTION 14.2: Foster and promote strategic partnerships and collaborations between local research institutions and their regional and international counterparts to enhance knowledge exchange and discoveries.
ACTION 14.3: National commitments and needs will be effectively aligned and communicated with local research institutions.
ACTION 14.4: Effective platform for sharing research findings will be enhanced.
ACTION 14.5: Support and prioritise research initiatives to improve understanding of biodiversity and their sustainable management.
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.

GBF-T20. Capacity-building and development, technology transfer, and technical and scientific cooperation for implementation is strengthened GBF-T20. Capacity-building and development, technology transfer, and technical and scientific cooperation for implementation is strengthenedStrengthen 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. | High |
GBF-T21. Data, information and knowledge for decision-making is available GBF-T21. Data, information and knowledge for decision-making is availableEnsure that the best available data, information and knowledge, are accessible to decision makers, practitioners and the public to guide effective and equitable governance, integrated and participatory management of biodiversity, and to strengthen communication, awareness-raising, education, monitoring, research and knowledge management and, also in this context, traditional knowledge, innovations, practices and technologies of indigenous peoples and local communities should only be accessed with their free, prior and informed consent[1], in accordance with national legislation.
