The event brought together a diverse audience to discuss the importance of NBSAPs and the role of the NBSAP Accelerator Partnership in supporting their implementation. This event also launchd a WWF International-developed NBSAP toolkit, tailored for civil society, targeting those not traditionally engaged in the biodiversity agenda, and offering concrete tools and guidance to engage with governments to implement the GBF through a whole-of-society approach.
