Mainstreaming biodiversity at the national level

This chapter highlights some of the key features that need to be considered in mainstreaming biodiversity at the national level. This includes reciprocal mainstreaming of biodiversity and development across key strategies and plans including National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans, National Development Plans and green growth strategies, among others. Moreover, it examines institutional co-ordination and the establishment of clear roles and responsibilities for biodiversity mainstreaming, the role of data in fostering biodiversity mainstreaming, and how biodiversity is being mainstreaming in national budgets.
