The United Nations Environment Programme, the European Commission and the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity will organize a webinar briefing on the Regional Seas Programmes and the post-2020 global biodiversity framework on 1 October 2020.

The United Nations Environment Programme coordinates 18 Regional Seas Programmes, which are intergovernmental mechanisms that engage neighbouring countries in specific actions to protect their common marine environment. Many Regional Seas Programmes have developed biodiversity-related regional objectives, targets and indicators. This webinar will be an opportunity to share information on relevant work under the Regional Seas Programmes that can support the development and implementation of the post-2020 global biodiversity framework.

The webinar will be held on 1 October 2020 from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. (UTC-4).
