UNEP- WCMC aims to help decision makers recognize the value of biodiversity to people everywhere, and to apply this knowledge to all that they do. <strong>The</strong> Centre’s challenge is to transform complex data <strong>in</strong>to policy-relevant <strong>in</strong>formation, to build tools and systems for analysis and <strong>in</strong>tegration, and to support the needs of nations and the <strong>in</strong>ternational community as they engage <strong>in</strong> jo<strong>in</strong>t programmes of action. UNEP-WCMC provides objective, scientifically rigorous products and services that <strong>in</strong>clude ecosystem assessments, support for implementation of environmental agreements, regional and <strong>global</strong> biodiversity <strong>in</strong>formation, research on environmental threats and impacts, and development of future scenarios for the liv<strong>in</strong>g world.
