Advanced comments on four annexes mentioned in CBD/SBI/3/CRP.5 (SBI-3 item 9)
Further to
Notification 2022-018 and SBI recommendation 3/11, this peer review has been extended to
7 May 2022. You will recall that Parties were not able to consider these annexes during the resumed session due to time constraints. Comments received by the original deadline of 25 February 2022 and those to be received by 7 May 2022 are separated below. Comments received will be made available for consideration by the fourth meeting of the Open-ended Working Group on the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework (WG2020-4).
In addition, further to
Notification 2022-024, a
workshop will be held on 17 and 18 June 2022, prior to WG2020-4, on options to enhance planning, monitoring, reporting and review mechanisms. In particular, the workshop will provide an opportunity for Parties to discuss the proposed annexes, taking into account the results of the extended peer review.
Background
The virtual session of SBI-3 (Part I) held in May and June 2021 discussed, among other matters, options to enhance planning, monitoring, reporting and reviewing mechanisms for the Convention and the post-2020 global biodiversity framework, and prepared a draft conference room paper (
CBD/SBI/3/CRP.5) for further discussion and adoption at the resumed session of SBI-3 (13-29 March 2022). CBD/SBI/3/CRP.5 contained four annexes which SBI-3 requested the Executive Secretary to develop or revise and provide them for consideration at the resumed session. In response, the Executive Secretary prepared these four annexes contained in the following documents:
- National reporting under the Convention: Revised guidance and draft template for the seventh and eighth national reports (CBD/SBI/3/11/Add.1/Amend.1) (ANNEX C)
- Draft guidance for updating or revising national biodiversity strategies and action plans in light of the post-2020 global biodiversity framework (CBD/SBI/3/11/Add.4) (ANNEX A)
- Modus Operandi of the open-ended forum of SBI for country-by-country review of implementation (CBD/SBI/3/11/Add.5) (ANNEX D)
- Commitments from actors other than national governments in the context of an enhanced planning, monitoring, review and reporting mechanism (CBD/SBI/3/11/Add.6) (ANNEX B)
These annexes were presented during the
webinar held on 13 January. Considering that there would be very limited time during the resumed sessions to discuss about these annexes, following the guidance of the SBI-3 Chair, it was recommended that time available due to the postponement of the resumed sessions be used to get advanced comments from Parties and observers on these annexes so that comments to be received could be considered in finalizing the conference room paper for adoption. The SBI Chair invited Parties and stakeholders to provide advanced comments on the four annexes during the period 14 January to 25 February 2022 (
Notification 2022-001).
