The first meeting of the Subsidiary Body on Implementation requested the Executive Secretary to prepare, in collaboration with the Global Environment Facility, a draft four-year framework of programme priorities for the seventh replenishment of the Global Environment Facility Trust Fund, taking into account, inter alia, the biodiversity strategy for the sixth replenishment period, potential synergies across the biodiversity-related conventions and the conventions for which the Global Environment Facility serves as a financial mechanism, potential synergies between achievement of the Aichi Biodiversity Targets and the Sustainable Development Goals, the global assessment of progress and the need to prioritize activities to fill gaps, the needs expressed by Parties through the Financial Reporting Framework, and the responses to the questionnaire from the expert team on funding needs for the seventh replenishment period, as well as the report of the expert team.
