12. IAG and the challenges of the GBF
โGBF is a unique opportunity for
strengthening collaboration, knowledge
transfer and capacity building around a
common objective โ GBF.
โComplex networks require effective
coordination: a Global Knowledge

essential (it does not need to be large!).
โMain resources must go to buildand
develop capacities of Parties and major
groups
