National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs)

Regional Workshop for the Caribbean region on updating National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans

To follow up on the first regional workshop in this series of workshops, held in St. George's, Grenada, from 17 to 21 October 2011, a second regional workshop was held in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, from 5 to 7 September 2012. This workshop addressed various issues that the countries in the region may have encountered or will encounter while updating their NBSAPs, with a focus on target-setting, stakeholder engagement and the development of country-specific plans for mobilizing financial resources for the implementation of NBSAPs.

The above NBSAP follow-up workshop was held immediately after the Caribbean Workshop on Access and Benefit-sharing (ABS), held at the same venue from 3 to 4 September 2012 and organized by the ABS Capacity Development Initiative.
