Data Management and Communication for the CBMP: Cooperation Strategy between CAFF and the UNEP-WCMC

This discussion paper outlines ideas for bringing all efforts at monitoring biodiversity in the Arctic together, allowing for better coordination in implementing the programmes, and for more coordinated analysis of the results.  The creation of a decentralised and distributed database is recommended, disseminated via a web portal with established links to other monitoring data, such as climate or data on pollution (as collected by AMAP).
