Climate Finance - Yangambi centre of excellence on climate and biodiversity (phase 2)

About this project

When developing a portfolio for climate action resource allocation, particular attention should be given to the protection and restoration of ecosystems and biodiversity. Achieving the objectives of both the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) requires policymakers to have access to robust scientific evidence and reliable data. Through this project, UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) seeks to strengthen its collaboration with a range of Congolese and Belgian partners in the Yangambi Man and Biosphere Reserve (Yangambi MAB). The initiative aims to facilitate scientific research in the Congo Basin while respecting and enhancing the role of local communities within the MAB and supporting their sustainable socio-economic development. De doelstelling van het voorgestelde project is tweeledig en wil bijdragen aan het versterken van Yangambi MAB als een centre of excellence voor klimaat en biodiversiteit: - verbeteren van de monitoring van het (functioneren van het) ecosysteem in Yangambi in al zijn aspecten (biologisch, sociaal, economisch); - bijdragen aan het verbeteren van het beheer van het MAB waarbij alle betrokken actoren hun plaats krijgen
