CIBioGo

The urgency of boosting participation in biodiversity governance has recently increased in the context of the published EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 and its "30x30" target.

CIBioGo aims to boost citizen participation in biodiversity governance, safeguard protected areas, strengthen ecosystem services, and facilitate environmentally friendly territorial development strategies.

To achieve these goals, it is necessary to improve the involvement and cooperation of stakeholders and citizens and to overcome the lack of awareness regarding the value of biodiversity and its ecosystem services.

CIBioGo project

Each partner, supported by the AP, embarks on an interregional learning process aimed at improving the policy instruments for the collaborative and sustainable management of biodiversity and ecosystem services.

The backbone of our learning process is provided by an exchange of good practices, a sequence of interregional peer review visits accompanied by regional level stakeholder exchange and capacity building sessions to support the adaptation of GPs, the embeddedness of the policy improvement process and the achievement of individual as well as organizational learning.
