COP16 UN Convention on Biological Diversity- International Perspectives on Developing Community and Biodiversity Resilience to Wildfire

Global targets for biodiversity conservation cannot be met without accounting for the critical role of wildfire in shaping ecosystem functioning. This workshop had the following objectives:

• Advance interdisciplinary scientific research and innovation;
• Foster collaborative collection of open-source, comprehensive, geographically relevant, and accurate data, information, and traditional ecological knowledge;
• Ensure evidence-based decision-making through communication between scientists and practitioners; 
• Understand and account for geographical diversity in social and ecological systems; and 
• Provide widespread wildfire resilience education for collaboration across a range of stakeholders, supported by CBI’s forthcoming Wildfire Academy.
