Biodiversity Capacity-Building and Development Forum
The Conference of the Parties, in its
decision 15/8 of 19 December 2022, requested the Executive Secretary to convene, in collaboration with partners, a forum to facilitate networking and sharing of experiences, good practices and lessons learned in capacity-building and development (CB&D) for biodiversity, and to organize events to showcase technical and scientific cooperation (TSC) initiatives, technologies and opportunities.
Each forum, to be organized back-to-back with a meeting of the Subsidiary Body on Implementation held in each biennium during the period 2024-2030, will focus on different themes related to the implementation of the Convention and its Protocols, including the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (
KMGBF).
The
Biodiversity Capacity-Building and Development Forum will bring together representatives of Parties, indigenous peoples and local communities, women and youth, non-governmental organizations, private sector, academia and other relevant stakeholders involved in CB&D and TSC.
