Indigenous peoples and local communities live in, manage and own vast areas often rich in biodiversity and critical for ecosystem services. Bridging indigenous and local knowledge systems with scientific knowledge systems is vital to enhance knowledge, practice, and ethics to move towards sustainability at multiple scales. We focus on international science-policy processes and present a framework for evidence-based guidance on how tasks to mobilise, translate, negotiate, synthesise and apply multiple forms of evidence can bridge knowledge systems. Effective engagement of actors, institutions and knowledge-sharing processes is crucial in each of these tasks. We use examples from the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) to illustrate and discuss our framework.

土著人民和地方社区居住，管理和拥有广阔的地区，这些地区通常具有丰富的生物多样性，对生态系统服务至关重要。将土著和地方知识系统与科学知识系统联系起来，对于增强知识，实践和道德规范以实现多个规模的可持续发展至关重要。我们专注于国际科学政策流程，并提出了一个基于证据的指导框架，以说明如何动员，翻译，谈判，综合和应用多种形式的证据的任务可以桥接知识系统。行动者，机构和知识共享过程的有效参与对于这些任务中的每一个都是至关重要的。
