Biodiversity Information Facility—has provided anyone, anywhere, open access to data about all types of life on Earth. GBIF has earned the reputation as the “most comprehensive, openly available…access point to known digital species occurrence data.” The interconnected challenges of biodiversity loss and climate change have increased the requirements and urgency for data to inform research, policy and decisions from local to global scales.</p> <p>GBIF is expanding to include more and varied types of data and improved informatics services in order to supply the biodiversity information that global research and policy require. Our community of people is also growing with new nodes, data publishers and data users. GBIF’s maturity has earned trust from the global community, and with trust comes responsibility and the expectation of leadership. The urgent need for solutions to multiple global crises compels GBIF to build a truly global network of people capable of facilitating the delivery of all potentially available biodiversity data through a proven infrastructure.</p> <blockquote> <p>Download the Strategic Framework 2023-2027 in <a href="https://assets.ctfassets.net/uo17ejk9rkwj/4syMySXpjvR7ZABffjJx2g/d6c0e77cc72d7e3429f3c248ec50eef2/gbif-strategic-framework-23-27.pdf">PDF</a> or <a href="https://assets.ctfassets.net/uo17ejk9rkwj/5ZNmVKdtBNnpCIfJVQOzGU/2107c35451c9ba8f1620d1dc29b5fe3d/strategic-framework-gbif.pptx">PowerPoint</a> formats</p> </blockquote> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="horizontal-stripe light-background p-0" id="_lessbrgreater" > <div class="container--desktop"> <div class="block_carousel" dir="auto"> <h2 class="block__header"></h2> <div> <uib-carousel active="0" interval="0" no-wrap="false" no-transition="false" template-url="carouseltest.html" > <uib-slide template-url="carouselslide.html" index="0"> <article class="block_slide "> <div class="block_slide__content"> <div class="block_slide__imageArea"> <div class="block_slide__imageArea__container"> <img src="//api.gbif.org/v1/image/unsafe/http:%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fuo17ejk9rkwj%2F3gpnkeBI7rpz7LRthkNxTW%2F97307e96c39e264d8c96294838b02ef8%2Fvision-veb2.png"> <div class="block_slide__imageArea__caption" dir="auto"> </div> </div> </div> <div> <div class="block_slide__textContent" dir="auto"> <h3 class="h2 block_slide__textContent__title"> <div> Vision </div> </h3> <div class="block_slide__textContent__body body-text"> <p>A world in which the best possible biodiversity data underpins research, policy and decisions.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </article> </uib-slide> <uib-slide template-url="carouselslide.html" index="1"> <article class="block_slide ng-cloak"> <div class="block_slide__content"> <div class="block_slide__imageArea"> <div class="block_slide__imageArea__container"> <img src="//api.gbif.org/v1/image/unsafe/http:%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fuo17ejk9rkwj%2FTAMGadMCMITHriULViYqR%2F51f664167a15fcd2ced842e3a11f1d11%2Fmission-web-bg2.png"> <div class="block_slide__imageArea__caption" dir="auto"> </div> </div> </div> <div> <div class="block_slide__textContent" dir="auto"> <h3 class="h2 block_slide__textContent__title"> <div> Mission </div> </h3> <div class="block_slide__textContent__body body-text"> <p>To mobilize the data, skills and technologies needed to make comprehensive biodiversity information freely available for science and decisions addressing biodiversity loss and sustainable development.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </article> </uib-slide> </uib-carousel> </div> </div> </div> </section> <script type="text/ng-template" id="carouselslide.html"> <div ng-class="{ 'active': active }" class="item" ng-transclude></div> </script> <script type="text/ng-template" id="carouseltest.html"> <div> <div class="carousel" ng-swipe-right="prev()" ng-swipe-left="next()"> <a role="button" href ng-click="prev()" ng-class="{ disabled: isPrevDisabled() }" ng-show="slides.length > 1"> <span aria-hidden="true" class="gb-icon-angle-left carousel__arrow" ></span> <span class="sr-only">previous</span> </a> <div class="carousel-inner" ng-transclude></div> <a role="button" href ng-click="next()" ng-class="{ disabled: isNextDisabled() }" ng-show="slides.length > 1"> <span aria-hidden="true" class="gb-icon-angle-right carousel__arrow"></span> <span class="sr-only">next</span> </a> </div> <ol class="carousel__dots" ng-show="slides.length > 1"> <li ng-repeat="slide in slides | orderBy:indexOfSlide track by $index" ng-class="{ active: isActive(slide) }" ng-click="select(slide)"> <span class="sr-only">slide {{ $index + 1 }} of {{ slides.length }}<span ng-if="isActive(slide)">, currently active</span></span> </li> </ol> </div> </script> <section class="featured_text_block__background horizontal-stripe white-background" id="_gbifs-values" > <div class="container--desktop"> <div class="featured_text_block "> <h2 class="block__header" dir="auto">GBIF's values </h2> <div class="container--narrow"> <div class="featured_text_block__content"> <div class="featured_text_block__textArea" dir="auto"> <div class="featured_text_block__textContent"> <div class="block_slide__textContent__body body-text"> <p>Underpinning this mission are the values that have characterized GBIF’s first 20 years and will advance our work – values that apply to the Secretariat, to the global nodes network, to participants, to data publishing institutions, and to data users, that together embody the global GBIF community.</p> <ul> <li> <p><strong>Trust and Transparency:</strong> Expectations that all decisions and processes are open;

To retain our ability to adapt to dynamic changes, the following priority areas offer broad guidelines rather than detailed directives.</p> <p>High-quality data, world-class technical infrastructure and exceptional people will enable GBIF to achieve its strategic priorities. To date, our success in delivering information on the occurrence of species at a particular place and time has come from a governance structure that enables us to build communities of practice to share, discover and access high-quality data that retains full details of its provenance.</p> <p>Building on our role in research and decision-making, GBIF must accelerate the pace of its work to meet the urgent challenges of the biodiversity and climate crises. We must continue to enhance our network’s capacity, enrich its data and scale our infrastructure to accelerate understanding of biodiversity and support the transformative changes needed to achieve sustainability.</p> <p>GBIF recognizes that biodiversity data is more complicated than ‘just’ the occurrence of species in time and space: organisms interact, co-occur, move and evolve. This implies a need for richer and more varied types of data than GBIF has thus far supported. Recognizing GBIF’s impact and its relevance to a growing number of stakeholders, continued success demands that more and better trained people adopt and share GBIF’s mission and that GBIF fulfils user requirements whether they are simple or complex.</p> <p>The strategic framework aims to deliver enhanced value and coherence through continued innovation that further enables our community and meets its emerging needs. Building on the foundation provided by our global network, the strategic priority areas that follow target the data, people and infrastructure needed to improve the understanding, conservation and restoration of biodiversity in all its inherent complexity.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="horizontal-stripe white-background p-0"
