Regional Bio-Bridge Initiative Round Table for Central and Eastern Europe and the Central Asian Republics

The Bio-Bridge Initiative, established by the Government of the Republic of Korea, aims to promote and facilitate technical and scientific cooperation under the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and its Protocols with a view to enhancing the implementation of the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 and its Aichi Biodiversity Targets as well as the updated national biodiversity strategies and action plans.

The Secretariat is convening the first regional Bio-Bridge Initiative round table for Central and Eastern Europe and the Central Asian republics to raise awareness of the Bio-Bridge Initiative and its operational modalities (including the project selection criteria and procedures), tools and services; provide updates on recent developments under the Initiative; and facilitate the sharing of experience and lessons learned with respect to technical and scientific cooperation. The round table also aims to facilitate interaction between Parties requiring technical assistance and Parties and/or organizations that could provide such assistance with a view to identifying matchmaking opportunities, fostering partnerships and finding joint solutions.
