The report, the first in a new series of regular reports prepared by UNEP-WCMC, IUCN and a wide range of partners, summarizes global progress towards Target 11. The side event will also report on the work of IUCN's WCPA-SSC Joint Task Force on Biodiversity which is examining some of the key questions around Target 11.
