Dear Sir or Madam, 

I am writing in reference to the following notifications:

• 2024-033 issued on 8 April 2024, inviting Parties, other Governments, indigenous peoples and local communities and relevant organizations to provide comments on document CBD/SBSTTA/26/INF/14: Guidance on using the indicators of the monitoring framework of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, and
• 2024-043 issued on 6 May 2024, inviting Parties, other Governments, indigenous peoples and local communities and relevant organizations to provide comments on document CBD/SBSTTA/26/INF 20: Headline indicator D.3 on private funding.
 

I would like to thank those Parties and observers that have submitted their comments on these documents and invite those who have not yet done so to send their comments as soon as possible.  Following a request by SBSTTA 26, I am pleased to inform Parties and observers that the deadline to receive inputs has been extended (please refer to recommendation 26/1, currently available as document CBD/SBSTTA/26/L.10 : Monitoring framework for the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework).  Submission of comments or reviews of documents CBD/SBSTTA/26/INF/14 and CBD/SBSTTA/26/INF 20 should be sent through an official letter addressed to the Executive Secretary by e-mail to: secretariat@cbd.int , at the earliest convenience but no later than 1 July 2024. 
 

It would be most appreciated if submissions could be provided in a Word processing format and not in PDF. 
 

The Secretariat intends to prepare a revised version of the above-mentioned documents for information of the Conference of the Parties at its sixteenth meeting, to be held in Cali, Colombia in October 2024.
 

I thank you for your cooperation and continued support to the Convention on Biological Diversity.
 

Please accept, Sir, Madam, the assurances of my highest consideration.

(Signed) David Cooper 
Acting Executive Secretary
