At its fifteenth meeting, the Conference of the Parties adopted the monitoring framework for the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. In the same decision, it also decided to establish an ad hoc technical expert group, with a time-bound mandate until the sixteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties, to advise on the further operationalization of the monitoring framework. The terms of reference for the expert group are contained in annex II of that decision.
Against this background the Convention on Biological Diversity invites Parties and observers to nominate experts to participate in the ad hoc technical expert group on indicators for the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. The expert group will be composed of 30 technical experts nominated by Parties and up to 15 representatives nominated by observer organizations. The selection of participants will be undertaken in consultation with the Bureau of the Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice, with due regard to representation of different areas of technical expertise and ensuring balance in expertise on all aspects of the goals and targets of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.
The nomination deadline is 24 February 2023! Further information can be found here.
