Representatives from several biodiversity-related multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs), the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and non-governmental organizations have developed projects to promote knowledge management and harmonized national reporting.
During a series of three meetings on these topics held in Cambridge, UK, from 13-16 June 2006, participants discussed the MEAs’ existing information management practices, technological capacities and national reporting requirements and developed proposals for several projects to improve the interoperability of MEA information datasets, increase Secretariats’ and parties’ capacities, and harmonize national reporting. The UNEP-funded projects will seek to improve access and search capacities related to the participating MEAs’ focal points, articles and decisions, and strategic plans, and to work towards harmonized national reporting among MEAs.
