01In brief

The short answer.

Biodiversity Nexus regional applications address problems in the biodiversity and nature field that the countries of a region share, such as species and genetic diversity, and the cooperation that responds to them. Each application is listed with its status from the programme record, and regional bodies and governments keep their own mandates and decisions.

02Canvas

Scoping to review.

Canvas · scoping to reviewDesign, not a record
Regional subject applications: a programme through its gatesA request with a named owner becomes a scoping note; inputs are qualified at a gate; delivery runs in workstreams; a controlled test and an independent review precede publication; the owner decides. Design of the process, not a record of a run.

05Regional frame

Where regional cooperation on biodiversity happens.

Ecosystems ignore borders: migratory flyways, river basins and shared seas need regional cooperation, and regional conventions and commissions provide the frame.

  • Regional seas conventions and action plans.
  • Transboundary conservation areas and their management bodies.
  • Regional biodiversity observation networks.
06Status

Work is shown as its record stands.

Programmes are listed as exploring, forming, constituted, active, paused or archived. Country and regional entries appear when a programme record supports them.

07Key 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.

TermDefinition
SubsidiarityThe principle that a decision is taken at the lowest level able to take it well, with a higher level acting only where the objective cannot be achieved closer to the people concerned; the Treaty on European Union states it.
Multi-level governanceShared decision-making across local, regional, national and international levels of government.
IUCN Red ListThe global assessment of species' extinction risk, with categories from Least Concern to Extinct based on standard criteria.
