From good practice to next practice in the Nordic Biosphere Reserves

The Nordic UNESCO Biosphere Reserves play a vital role in supporting local communities to implement the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). By fostering sustainable, place-based development, they empower communities to strengthen the relationship between nature and culture.

By providing a model for next practices and showcasing examples of initiatives and successful good practices, this guide supports the transformation of these practices into "next practices" that are innovative, adaptable, and tackle global challenges such as biodiversity loss and climate change. 

This publication presents findings from the Nordic Council of Ministers – Nordic Working Group for Biological Diversity-funded project MAB LAB: Man and the Biosphere – Local Actions for the Global Framework for Biodiversity.
