How do I suggest more data for inclusion in the UN Biodiversity Lab?

We welcome suggestions on data that would enrich the UN Biodiversity Lab! If your data addresses biodiversity, conservation, or human well-being at national, regional, or international levels, please fill out this form.

Our team will review suggestions as they are received. UNDP and UNEP-WCMC have formalized criteria for data published on the public platform to assist in identifying and curating the best available datasets on these themes to enable streamlined and standardized analyses and reporting. The criteria are available here.

In line with our policy to increase uptake of regional and/or national data that is useful for reporting on the state of nature and planet, we make exceptions to the criteria for regional data submitted by Technical and Scientific Cooperation Centres (TSCCs) for inclusion on UNBL. These data are subject to an ad-hoc review and final decision from the data support team.

To upload data for your institution’s use in a UNBL workspace, please see the next question on requesting a workspace.
