How Biodiversity Nexus organizes work into programmes: global priorities, regional applications and country work, each shown with its actual status.

Biodiversity Nexus programmes organize its work on biodiversity and nature, climate and hazards, and oceans and coasts at three levels: global priorities, regional applications and country work. Each programme shows its recorded status, from exploring and forming to active, paused or archived, and a plan is never presented as an activity. Countries take part through their national programmes and the Consortium Secretariat.
Mountain ranges, deserts, wetlands, glaciers and reefs, and how remote each division is from large cities, shown for Canada as an example geography for this subject.
Biodiversity commitments are made globally under the Convention on Biological Diversity, implemented through national biodiversity strategies and action plans, and delivered in landscapes and seascapes that often cross borders.
A programme is shown as exploring, forming, constituted, active, paused or archived, according to its record. A plan is never presented as an activity.
Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Programme | A group of related projects and activities managed together to obtain benefits that managing them separately would not, in the sense the Project Management Institute's programme standard uses. |
| Programme status | The recorded state of a programme on Nexus pages: exploring, forming, constituted, active, paused or archived. A plan is never presented as an activity. |
| Country ownership | The principle that a country leads its own development policies and strategies and coordinates the actions that support them, set out in the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness. |
| Biodiversity | The variability among living organisms from all sources, including diversity within species, between species and of ecosystems, as the Convention on Biological Diversity defines it. |

The current service level is R0: information and enquiries. An enquiry receives a reference and names the next step; applications, payments, compute allocations and registrations open only when their team, terms and review capacity exist.
