The Biodiversity National Focal Point is based at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences (RBINS). It is Belgium’s link to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). The National Focal Point acts as the facilitator between the CBD Secretariat and all implementing actors in Belgium. The National Focal Point also cooperates with other countries, various organizations and informs the general public. It relies on a large network of collaborators in Belgium and abroad, who are essential partners for the execution of the wide range of activities generated by the various mandates: exchange of information, support to the policy process, education and training, public awareness, international collaboration, etc.
