PoWIB Interactive Forum

Welcome to the interactive forum on the in-depth review of the programme of work on island biodiversity (PoWIB).

This forum provides a podium for an interactive discussion for policy makers, donors, practitioners, government, non-governmental organizations, researchers and any individual or body engaged in the implementation of the CBD programme of work on island biodiversity. It is part of ongoing efforts to learn and share experiences on how the PoWIB has contributed to your work on island biodiversity. It also seeks to determine if improvements are needed to effectively implement the PoWIB, and, if so, what are they and how they can be put in place.

We pose six initial questions to begin discussion.

To participate in the discussions, you need to have a CBD user account. If you do not have a CBD user account, please sign up for an account now.

If you already have a CBD user account, please sign in and then click on the desired question.
