The mandated functions of IPBES include catalysing financial support for capacity-building activities “by providing a forum with conventional and potential sources of funding”. Aiming to develop the IPBES Capacity-building Forum as an effective arena for cooperation, IPBES is seeking to work with institutions that fund and/or themselves undertake relevant capacity building activities.
