Directed to the Secretariat

The Secretariat shall invite all Parties and relevant organizations to provide information, experiences and, where possible, outcomes on their use of economic incentives and report at the 53rd meeting of the Standing Committee for consideration on the manner in which this might be taken up for further action on capacity building and possible regional cooperation.

Subject to the availability of funding, the Secretariat shall continue its cooperation on incentive measures with the CBD Secretariat and other biodiversity-related conventions (e.g. Ramsar and CMS), as well as with the private sector and relevant governmental, intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations. This cooperation shall focus, inter alia, on the exchange of experiences in the design and use of economic incentives for sustainable management of wild fauna and flora, compilation of case-studies, best practices and lessons learnt, as well as the development of targeted recommendations, operational guidelines and associated instruments for the sustainable use of wild flora and fauna.
