Fourth National Report

Fourth National Report

Assessing Progress Towards 2010

This information portal was designed in response to Decision VIII/14 to provide Parties with consolidated information resources and tools to assist with the preparation of the fourth national report. Information from the fourth national reports was used to measure progress towards the achievement of the 2010 Biodiversity Target, as well as contributed to the third edition of the Global Biodiversity Outlook. This portal also served to promote the 2010 Biodiversity Target assessment among CBD partners.

The fourth national reports were due 30 March 2009. When preparing their fourth national report, Parties are requested to provide information while focussing on the following:

  • outcomes and impacts of actions or measures taken to implement the Convention
  • success stories and case-studies, if any
  • major obstacles encountered in implementation
  • actions that need to be taken to enhance implementation
