The SGA Network is a community of practice, creating a common platform for ecosystem assessment practitioners, with the intention to build capacity through:

• Training opportunities • Capturing, synthesising and disseminating examples of best

practices and lessons learnt • Developing e-learning tools • Encouraging and supporting exchanges between and

amongst SGAs to share experiences • Helping to build links with the scientific community

19

History of the SGA Network • The SGAN was established in 2007 by UNEP and other key partners to

provide ongoing support to the SGAs catalysed either during the course of the MA or in its wake

• The SGAN Secretariat is has been hosted by UNEP-WCMC in Cambridge since 2011. The Network also has an Advisory Committee who provides oversight and guidance into the work programme of the Network.

• The SGAN contains over 400 members who represent different aspects of ecosystem assessments: practitioners, scientists and policy-makers

• The SGAN aims to support the activities of relevant global process such as the IPBES and the biodiversity-related MEAs
