The workshop formed part of the “Capacity Building Project for the Implementation of IPBES Asia-Pacific Regional Assessment”, funded by the Japan Biodiversity Fund through the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), and operated by the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES).
