Mainstreaming Biodiversity into Government Decision-Making: A Practical Context Analysis Guide to Improve Understanding and Strategy for the Political Challenge of Integrating Biodiversity Information

Development that causes biodiversity degradation, and is ignorant of biodiversity’s benefits, is unsustainable. Decades of bad development decisions have created a ‘nature emergency’. There are growing demands for biodiversity information to be far better integrated in government decision making. This guide responds to those demands. The guide offers an iterative four-stage approach to understanding the all-important political, institutional and stakeholder context in which decisions are made. Armed with the resulting ‘context analysis’, readers will be able to create a much more effective information strategy – offering the right biodiversity information to the right decision-making processes, in the right forms, at the right times. This guide is aimed at project teams who want to improve the use of biodiversity information in relevant government decision-making processes.
