GIASIPPartnership
Global Invasive Alien Species Information Partnership
![Page 6: European Nodes Meeting 2013 Wednesday 6 – 8 March Joensuu Finland](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56816675550346895dda10c9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
ObjectivesThe GIASIPartnership has come together in order to assist Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, and others, implement Article 8(h) and Target 9 of the Aichi Biodiversity Targets:
“By 2020, invasive alien species and pathways are identified and prioritized, priority species are controlled or eradicated, and measures are in place to manage pathways to prevent their introduction and establishment”

Working GroupsDuring its first phase, the following Working Groups are established:
1. The Partnership Gateway functionalities;2. Database interoperability, data gaps and quality
improvement;3. Information synthesis and assessment;4. Taxonomic information services; and5. Best practices for the non-electronic means of
information access and exchange.

IPBES origins
”…the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has brought about a scientific consensus on the reality and significance of global warming … We need a similar type of mechanism for biodiversity… I hereby call on all scientists to join forces in order to set up a worldwide network of experts … the creation of an intergovernmental group on biodiversity changes.”
Jacques Chirac – UNESCO conference, Biodiversity, Science and GovernanceJan 2005

Main functions:
• To identify and prioritize key scientific information needed for policymakers and to catalyse efforts to generate new knowledge;
• To perform regular and timely assessments of knowledge on biodiversity and ecosystem services and their interlinkages;
• To support policy formulation and implementation by identifying policy-relevant tools and methodologies;
• To prioritize key capacity-building needs to improve the science-policy interface, and to provide and call for financial and other support for the highest-priority needs related directly to its activities.

Possible IPBES WP elements (from intersessional doc) of particular relevance to GBIF
• Identifying and filling knowledge gaps
• Partnerships with ‘long term monitoring programmes and .. Programmes that help to ensure the availability of … data’
• Link those with capacity building needs with those in a position to address those needs
• ‘Promote free and open access to data, information and knowledge.. And build capacity to use such data, information and knowledge’

Issues to raise
• How to engage with IPBES?• GBIF as a data-science interface• What is the regional approach of the EU
Nodes?• Connection to KNEU project about setting
up a network of knowledge in Europe• Relation EU Nodes & European
Commission
