Upcoming CBD & IPPC Meeting

The IPPC Secretariat will continue its cooperation with the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity in an upcoming workshop to be held from 11-14 February in the United Arab Emirates. The meeting will address new strategies concerning the issue of invasive alien species in specific countries in West Asia and North Africa as well as the Aichi Biodiversity Target 9 in the Arab region. As country representatives are asked to present their current developments, challenges, and lessons learned in monitoring invasive alien species, the workshop seeks to improve communication and awareness for all parties involved.
