Despite a decade of global efforts to protect and restore biodiversity, not one of the 20 Aichi Biodiversity targets was fully achieved in 2020 deadline and biodiversity loss continues at an unprecedented rate. The convention on Biological Diversity's post-2020 global biodiversity framework (GBF) is the ambitious successor of the CBD's 2011-2020 Strategic Plan for Biodiversity. Development of the GBF and its associated monitoring and reporting framework is on-going, involving a comprehensive preparatory process.

PACC reports

Statement of purpose, the 2010 Pacific forum leaders' and Forum economic ministers' directive on reporting acknowledged the need to streamline global, regional and national reporting to reduce the reporting burden at the national level in the Pacific. For the environment sector, member countries of the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) endorsed plan for the establishment of a regional state of environment framework by 2012 and streamlined reporting by 2015. These goals are formalised in the SPREP Strategic plan 2011-2015. A workshop was jointly convened by the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat (PIFS) and SPREP in March 2012 in Fiji to provide a vision for more effective and streamlined reporting in the Pacific region. This process will be taken forward by relevant regional mechanisms such as the Pacific Plan, Forum Compact and the Council for Regional Organizations in the Pacific (CROP) to achieve the vision presented here.
