The Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, at its tenth meeting, adopted the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020, with its Aichi Biodiversity Targets (see decision X/2). The mission of the Strategic Plan is to take effective and urgent action to halt the loss of biodiversity in order to ensure that, by 2020, ecosystems are resilient and continue to provide essential services, thereby securing the planet’s variety of life, and contributing to human well-being and poverty eradication.

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.
