Wetland inventories to support Contracting Parties to achieve Indicator 6.6.1
(
Intergovernmental organization
)
#SDGAction43290
Description
In order to support Contracting Parties in the preparation of National Reports and to progress reporting on “wetland extent” as a contribution to SDG Indicator 6.6.1, the Secretariat is preparing a gap analysis with priorities to support contracting parties to undertake, refine or complete wetland inventories as well as a toolkit on wetlands inventories linked to indicator 6.6.1.
The work includes:
• Review the specific information submitted by Contracting Parties in National Reports in 2018 (COP13 corresponding to the period 2016-2018) for Indicator 6.6.1, SDG 14. SDG 15 and Aichi Biodiversity Targets.
• Review Ramsar guidelines of wetlands inventories as well as other relevant guidelines to prepare a toolkit for use by Contracting Parties that addresses the identified gaps in knowledge, guidance and support to undertake, refine or complete wetland inventories.
• Based on the review of National Wetland Inventories prepare a gap analysis with priorities that identifies what knowledge, guidance, support and resources are needed by contracting parties to undertake, refine or complete wetland inventories.
• Develop a tool kit on wetlands inventories linked to indicator 6.6.1 for use by Contracting Parties that addresses the identified gaps in knowledge, guidance, support and resources required to complete wetland inventories.
• Develop proposed content and curriculum for distance based training to support workshops/training on wetlands inventories for Contracting Parties.
