A Framework for assessing the state of knowledge on biodiversity

Deliverable 3.1 of the BioAgora project. The BioAgora project aims to develop a science service for biodiversity to ratchet up the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 by orchestrating science-policy interactions that can link expert knowledge more efficiently with EU policy making and implementation. The objective of this deliverable is to set a framework to analyse the current state of available knowledge related to the Biodiversity Strategy for 2030, identify knowledge gaps and recommendations including best practices for better implementations. This work is described in three steps: (1) developing the framework to assess biodiversity knowledge with the identification of policy-relevant information within documents and their classification into two typologies: a typology of actionable information, and a typology of use of actionable information, (2) testing a protocol to assess knowledge by linking our work with Demonstration Cases (which build networks of actors per topic and test the SSBD functions) and (3) future perspectives and concrete contribution of this work to the science service for biodiversity.
