Briefing Webinars for SBSTTA-24 and SBI-3
A series of webinars will take place in preparation for the upcoming sessions of the twenty-fourth meeting of the Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice (SBSTTA 24) and the third meeting of the Subsidiary Body on Implementation (SBI 3).
The webinars are also relevant to the ongoing preparations for the third meeting of the Open-ended Working Group on the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework (WG2020-3) and the fifteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP 15) and related meetings.
The briefing webinars are intended to assist Parties and observers in becoming familiar with the documentation for SBSTTA 24 and SBI 3, its structure and content, and to respond to questions from participants. The briefing webinars are not negotiation sessions and the statements and views expressed during the webinars will not be considered part of the official work of SBSTTA-24, SBI-3, and WG2020-3.
Further information on the briefing webinars, including the registration, schedule and proposed agenda for each webinar will soon be made available on the Convention’s meetings page. After registering, participants will receive a confirmation e-mail containing further information on how to join the event.
