01In brief

The short answer.

Biodiversity Nexus events are confirmed technical dialogues, workshops and sessions on biodiversity and nature, climate and hazards, and oceans and coasts, each listed with its date, organizer, format and terms. Only scheduled, confirmed activities appear, and a planned event is never shown as held. Sessions may run under the Chatham House Rule, and outcome notes are published only with participants' consent.

For events and technical dialogues, in GCRI's spatial-intelligence reading, the map opens on land cover, active fires, vegetation and true-colour imagery with vegetation disturbance alerts from NASA GIBS, framed on the Amazon Basin; every other NASA layer, live feed and forecast waits in the layer list.Satellite and model products as NASA publishes them, each with its own date; indicators, not assessments of any place; claim ceiling INTEGRATED.

03How it works

Events and technical dialogues in Biodiversity Nexus.

Each entry shows its scope, host or owner, and terms.
Participation follows published rules, applied equally.
Taking part gives no authority or influence over findings.

04Formats

Technical dialogues that suit biodiversity questions.

Monitoring method clinics on eDNA, acoustics and remote sensing.
Natural capital accounting dialogues with statistics offices.
Landscape planning sessions across sectors.

06Key terms

Terms used on this page.

Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.

Term	Definition
Chatham House Rule	A rule under which participants may use information received but may not reveal the identity or affiliation of speakers.
Code of conduct	A written set of standards for how members, staff or participants behave, with a route for complaints and a stated process for handling them.
Direct drivers of biodiversity loss	Land and sea use change, direct exploitation of organisms, climate change, pollution and invasive alien species, the five drivers IPBES identifies.
