Where We Work

BES-Net pools the strengths of three consortium partner agencies and its vast network of organizations to translate the global IPBES assessment findings into nationally and locally led solutions.

We have adopted the Equal Earth projection for our “Where We Work” map, so every continent appears at its real size relative to the others. It’s a small change that reflects a bigger commitment to seeing the world fairly, and it follows a 2026 UN General Assembly resolution that endorsed the Equal Earth projection and other equal-area maps for showing relative size accurately. The boundaries and names shown and the designations used on this map do not imply official endorsement or acceptance by the United Nations.
