TGBS Special Announcement:
The Global Biodiversity Standard Manual Now Available!
We are thrilled to announce the publication of The Global Biodiversity Standard (TGBS): Manual for assessment and best practices. This publication marks a key milestone in the lead up to the standard’s launch at UN CBD COP-16 in Colombia later this year.
Developed through collaboration with leading global organisations and experts, this comprehensive manual aims to promote effective and high-quality biodiversity outcomes for restoration, tree planting, agroforestry, and other nature-based initiatives. Rigorously tested across diverse ecosystems and supported by key figures in the environmental sector, the official TGBS Manual sets a new benchmark for restoration projects worldwide. The manual is initially published in English, with translated versions in French, Portuguese, and Spanish to be released over the next few months. Dive into this vital resource and join us in our mission to protect, enhance, and restore global biodiversity.
Public Consultation Results: Strong Support for TGBS Methodology
In addition, we are excited to share the positive results from our public consultation led by JS Global Advisory. Conducted in the lead-up to UNFCCC COP-28, the consultation gathered valuable feedback from a wide range of stakeholders, emphasising strong support for the TGBS methodology. The results highlighted the importance of field surveys in assessing biodiversity impacts, confirmed the need for incorporating native and threatened species into projects and our model of using regional hubs with local biodiversity expertise to assess sites. This enthusiastic endorsement reinforces the significance of the TGBS Manual in guiding practitioners towards achieving superior biodiversity outcomes.
