GEO BON: the SBA on biodiversity of GEOSS
Biodiversity Observation
Network
The Biodiversity science-policy landscape
Assessment (IPBES)
Policy (CBD)
Observations (GEO BON)
Research
Vision
A coordinated global system that:
• gathers and shares information on biodiversity,
• provides tools for data integration and
analysis, and
• contributes to improving environmental management and human well-being.
Biodiversity Observation
Network
Mission
To improve delivery of biodiversity information and services to users
GEO BON focuses on observing and analysing changes in biodiversity over time.

GEO BON: A brief history
• 2005: Establishment of the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS)– Biodiversity is one of 9 “Societal Benefit Areas”
• 2006 Oct: First International Workshop (Geneva, CH)
• Jan 2008: GEO BON Steering Committee formed (Geneva)
• Apr 2008: 2nd International workshop (Potsdam, Germany)– Produce GEO BON concept document
• Feb 2010: 3rd International workshop (Asilomar, California)
• GEO BON secretariat opens (CSIR, S-Africa)
• 22 May 2010: – Launch of GEO BON implementation plan (version 1.0)• Nov 2011: – Adequacy of biodiversity observation systems to support the CBD 2020
targets (INF/8)• Oct 2012:– Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) to support the CBD

Expected Achievements by 2015• An accepted set of Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs)
developed akin to GCOS ECVs• Global Wetland Observing System (GWOS)• A harmonised Ecosystem Map• Major components of a global network of Biodiversity
Observation Sites in place• Major geographical gaps in the monitoring network
starting to be filled• Expansion of monitoring programs for birds, mammals,
plants and butterflies• Inventories for changes in marine biodiversity (certain
taxa)• Delivery of a genetic diversity report (CBD-COP11)

Challenges
• Many positive developments– Clear niche in science-policy interface– Recognition by & collaboration with key partners
(CBD, IPBES)– Strong agenda (Implementation plan, adequacy
report, EBVs)– Interest of many individuals and organisations
• But major challenges– Lack of engagement/recognition at national level– Proper institutional arrangements (Sec, funding)
