Representatives from Pacific Island governments, environment ministries, regional partners, biodiversity and climate change experts will gather in Samoa next week to accelerate action on pressing environmental challenges, safeguarding our islands, our people and our way of life.
They will attend the sub-Regional Workshop and Dialogue for Pacific Small Island Developing States (SIDS) to begin on Monday 26 May until Friday 30 May at the SPREP headquarters in Apia, Samoa.
The week-long event is co-organised by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in close collaboration with the Government of Samoa.
The first three days of the =workshop will focus on supporting participating countries in developing and leveraging synergies in the implementation of their National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs), which are being revised or updated in alignment with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF) and the Paris Agreement.
