Promote collaborative and coherent action and investment

Encourage inclusive collaboration between stakeholders across sectors, to ensure that different initiatives and sources of funding complement and support, rather than duplicate each other and allow for greater reach.

Prioritise partnerships that amplify the leadership of local actors, particularly women and underrepresented groups, and ensure that their priorities and knowledge drive collaborative action.

States should adopt a co-ordinated ‘whole-of-government’ approach across the environmental challenges of biodiversity loss, climate change and desertification, as well as finance, trade, investment, agriculture, development and human rights.
