Webinar: Integrating Wetlands into National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs)

The Convention on Wetlands and the Convention on Biological Diversity organised two joint webinars on “Integrating Wetlands into National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs)” on Wednesday, 19 June 2024. 

The objective of the webinar was to strengthen the connectivity between focal points to the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Convention on Wetlands, to support the right strategies and actions in NBSAPs for wetlands and improve access and awareness of data for indicators and monitoring.

During the webinar, participants:

• Learnt about the new guidance produced by the Scientific and Technical Review Panel (STRP) of the Convention: Scaling up wetland conservation and restoration to deliver the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework: Guidance on including wetlands in National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plans (NBSAPs) to boost biodiversity and halt wetland loss and degradation.
• Hear from practitioners that have devised pathways for joint efforts to integrate wetland interests and actions into the Convention on Biological Diversity.
