BLGI focuses on legal and institutional responses to the challenges facing biodiversity and seeks to complement and coordinate ongoing efforts in this field. The core activities of the BLGI are centred on three main pillars. First, the BLGI Secretariat organises and coordinates knowledge sharing events alongside the UNCBD processes and beyond. Second, the initiative provides support and outreach for the capacity building and biodiversity action efforts of its partners. The final pillar of the initiative focuses on involving students and young people from different regions in its activities so as to enhance long term capacity strengthening.
