This policy analysis report examines how national biodiversity strategies (NBSAPs) integrate nutrition considerations. It assesses 192 NBSAPs globally, identifying gaps and opportunities for aligning biodiversity conservation with food and nutrition security.
Key findings:
62% of NBSAPs lack explicit nutrition-biodiversity linkages.
Only 4% of NBSAPs include concrete plans to mobilize resources for nutrition-sensitive biodiversity strategies.
Low-income countries showed stronger integration of nutrition and biodiversity policies than high-income nations.
Countries with recent NBSAP updates (2018-2024) were more likely to include nutrition considerations.
Traditional and indigenous knowledge is frequently mentioned but often lacks direct nutrition linkages.
The report recommends enhancing biodiversity-nutrition integration through multi-sectoral policy coordination, improved monitoring, and stakeholder engagement.
