Monitoring and reporting

Article 29 of the Nagoya Protocol requires Parties to monitor implementation of their obligations under the Protocol, at intervals and in the format to be determined by the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Protocol (COP-MOP), and to report to the COP-MOP on measures taken to implement the Protocol.

In decision NP-1/3, the COP-MOP requested Parties to submit an interim national report on the implementation of their obligations under the Nagoya Protocol and welcomed the submission of relevant information by non-Parties to the Protocol. Interim national reports were due by 1 November 2017.

In decision NP-4/3, the COP-MOP adopted the guidelines and format for submission of the first national report on the implementation of the Nagoya Protocol as contained in the annex to this decision and requested Parties to submit a first national report on the implementation of their obligations under the Nagoya Protocol at the same time as the seventh national reports under the Convention are due (by 28 February 2026).
