Civil society organisations are drivers of ambition in international agreements and instil accountability for governments to follow up on their commitments. Through harnessing the expertise of Nordic civil society organisations, across various thematic areas, with this publication we deliver cohesive policy recommendations to drive ambition for biodiversity across the Nordic region as well as globally through international cooperation. This is a unique group project, linking organisations with different fields of expertise and perspectives, many of whom have never worked together before, to deliver joint policy recommendations to the Nordic governments.

 The policy recommendations in this publication are not the primary positions and prioritised messages of all the organisations that have contributed or are supporting the publication but rather a compilation of proposals.
