Considerations for data-centric capacity development in support of the clearing-house mechanism of the BBNJ agreement
The Agreement on the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Marine Biological Diversity of Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ Agreement) hinges on effective data exchange, facilitated by its Clearing-House Mechanism (CHM). This platform’s success requires addressing critical data governance, technical, and financial challenges, drawing parallels to existing frameworks like the Convention on Biological Diversity's Nagoya Protocol. Our analysis, informed by the Data for Ocean Biodiversity Observing Working Group, highlights essential data-centric capacities—including interoperability and provenance metadata—for CHM implementation.
