This target aims to provide all sectors with the necessary capabilities, knowledge, technologies, and tools to effectively implement biodiversity conservation actions in alignment with national frameworks and global biodiversity goals. Target value is set for 2027 as follows:
1. Increased research outcomes on technologies and innovations for national biodiversity management
2. Implementation of at least 10 biodiversity-focused activities/research projects annually that produce datasets and knowledge  
3. Increased implementation of both domestic and international activities/projects that facilitate knowledge exchange, technology transfer, and academic collaboration supporting biodiversity
 

There are two measures to achieve this national target.
1. Enhancing organizational capacity, cross-sector collaboration, stakeholder engagement, and development of biodiversity networks.
2. Supporting the exchange of knowledge, expertise, resources, and transfer of new technologies related to biological resources, genetic resources, and biotechnology.
 

They are reflected in measures and actions taken for this target as attached.  Target 11 Cap-build_measures and actions.docx 
 

This target aims to provide all sectors with the necessary capabilities, knowledge, technologies, and tools to effectively implement biodiversity conservation actions in alignment with national frameworks and global biodiversity goals. This includes:
- Capacity-building and development—Creating an enabling environment for effective operations and strengthening the ability of individuals and institutions to contribute to halting and reversing biodiversity loss. This can be achieved through: (1) improving the knowledge, skills, competencies and attitudes of various stakeholders, including policymakers, planners, practitioners, and the public; (2) strengthening organizational capacity, including enhancing biodiversity governance, cross-sectoral coordination, multi-stakeholder engagement, partnership development, networking, and knowledge management; and (3) strengthening the enabling environment by enhancing policy and regulatory frameworks, mobilizing and leveraging resources, and building political support.
- Access to and transfer of technologies—Many technologies have the potential to address ongoing biodiversity loss. However, access to and transfer of these technologies, including the skills to use and benefit from them, remain limited in Thailand and need to be improved as part of the implementation strategy. Examples of relevant technologies include: (1) technologies for spatial planning and biodiversity management, including geospatial technology, remote sensing, and geographic information systems; (2) technologies for biodiversity monitoring, such as DNA technologies, camera traps, acoustic recording devices, smartphone applications for citizen science, drones, and satellite technologies; (3) decision support technologies, such as early warning systems, digital technologies for complex data aggregation and data visualization; and (4) technologies, innovations, and practices of indigenous peoples and local communities used with their free, prior and informed consent.
- Development of and access to innovation—The development of new, transformative, and innovative solutions for biodiversity-related challenges needs to be fostered, and access to these innovations improved. There should be a focus on investing in research and development to address biodiversity challenges. Harnessing emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, along with the innovations and practices of indigenous peoples and local communities (with their free, prior, and informed consent), may create new opportunities to improve biodiversity conservation, sustainable use, and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from biodiversity.
- Technical and scientific cooperation—Thailand should establish cooperation to build scientific and technical knowledge and expertise, including traditional knowledge and technologies. When leveraged through collaboration, this offers opportunities for the co-creation and/or exchange of knowledge, data, expertise, resources, technologies, and technical know-how. This can occur through joint technology development, collaborative scientific research, and strengthening scientific research capabilities through human resources development, institution building, joint personnel training, and expert exchanges.
