Location: Windhoek, Namibia
Participating Countries: Botswana, Malawi, Namibia, Tanzania, Uganda, Zimbabwe
BES-Net has facilitated Regional Trialogues in six subregions around the world. Regional Trialogues enhance national capacity to integrate findings and recommendations from IPBES thematic assessments into policy, planning and on-the-ground programmes and projects. The Trialogue methodology seeks to foster mutual learning, intercultural understanding and inter-institutional coordination. With improved awareness and enhanced networking around the IPBES assessment themes, the participants of the Regional Trialogues have been promoting policy reforms, undertaking new research studies and organizing awareness-raising events across the world.
