In July 2014, the latest National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plans 2.0 (NBSAPs) workshop took place at the Midgard Estate in Namibia to consider what successful mainstreaming of biodiversity and development would look like.

    #NBSAP revision lessons learned so far: all sectors must own plan; cost plan for the long term; set clear indicators; get plan peer reviewed

    More lessons: make alliances; talk about benefits as well as costs; ownership across society, not only govt. Progress is being made #NBSAP

    #NBSAP How do finance people want biodiversity information? Figures, summarised and related to economic priorities. Long reports - no.
