This guidance document, roadmap and accompanying annex have been produced as an output of a joint UNEP-WCMC and IEEP project, funded by Defra, and in collaboration with the CBD Secretariat to examine the ‘Lessons learnt from incorporating biodiversity and ecosystem service values into NBSAPs’.

There are three key outputs of the project:

• Roadmap: an easily accessible tool to support Parties in incorporating biodiversity and ecosystem services into NBSAPs. This document provides succinct information on how values can be incorporated, the entry points at different stages of NBSAP updating process, and the different approaches to support incorporation of values.
• Guidance document: The guidance document compliments the roadmap and provides more detailed information of experiences and lessons learned, as well as further technical information on process and approaches.
• Annex - country case studies: This annex provides country case studies from Burkina Faso, the Federated States of Micronesia, Georgia, Guatemala, Norway and South Africa.
