Under agenda item 12, COP-13 will consider the short-term action plan (2017-2020) to enhance and support capacity-building for the implementation of the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 and its Aichi Biodiversity Targets. In its Recommendation 1/5, the Subsidiary Body on Implementation (SBI) took note of a draft prepared by the Secretariat and requested the Executive Secretary, in collaboration with Parties, other Governments and relevant organizations, to further streamline and focus it, and submit a revised draft for consideration by COP-13.
Parties, Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities and relevant organizations are invited to provide comments on the revised short-term action plan as soon as possible, but no later than
3 October 2016 with a view to further prioritize and streamline the proposed activities in order to make the action plan realistic and achievable.
