National Reports

What's New?

The Online Reporting Tool for the submission of national targets, due by COP-16, is ready for use. Details are provided in notification 2023-117. A webinar demonstrating the Online Reporting Tool was conducted and the recording is available here.

In decision 15/6, Parties are requested to submit their seventh national report by 28 February 2026 and their eighth national report by 30 June 2029 to enable the preparation of the global reviews, as per Article 26 of the Convention, using the template provided in annex II.

Parties are also requested to use the monitoring framework of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, adopted in decision 15/5, in their national reports, supplemented, as appropriate, by optional component and complementary indicators also included therein and other national indicators.

Data Reporting Tool for MEAs (DaRT)

DaRT is the first tool supporting Parties to effectively use synergies in the field of knowledge and information management for national reporting to biodiversity-related conventions. DaRT is being developed by UNEP, with the support of SCBD, and was endorsed by the InforMEA Initiative which brings together MEAs. It is financially supported by the European Union and Switzerland.

Bioland Tool

The Bioland Tool is a turnkey solution that can be used by all countries, no matter what capacity constraints they are faced with, to establish a basic operational national CHM website which, among other things, can effectively facilitate NBSAP implementation. This turnkey solution uses the Drupal content management system (CMS) and is available at no cost to countries. Click here to see a demonstration of the Bioland Tool.
