Events

COBSEA Secretariat and CSIRO will organize consultations to identify country needs, existing frameworks and existing project outputs where available.

The COBSEA Secretariat is organizing a regional webinar on a draft situational analysis of MPAs in the EAS region, to be presented by a team of MPA consultants. COBSEA participating countries are invited to provide comments and inputs towards the finalization of this draft situational analysis. The Webinar will, inter alia, serve as a platform for feedback and information-sharing between COBSEA participating country representatives and MPA consultants, and consolidate the work of the COBSEA Secretariat on Marine Protected Areas. 

The COBSEA Secretariat hosts a webinar series on the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework, providing a platform for dialogue on how COBSEA can be leveraged to support countries during the development, delivery and tracking of the Framework. 

The third webinar will be held Thursday 8 July 2021, 14.00-15.30 ICT.    

Monitoring and assessment are indispensable in identifying marine litter status and trends and its most critical impacts, and to support development, tracking and evaluation of policy and management interventions. The Coordinating Body on the Seas of East Asia (COBSEA) Regional Action Plan on Marine Litter (RAP MALI) recognizes the need to improve knowledge on the main types, sources and amounts of litter that enter the marine and coastal environment in line with globally established guidelines.

The COBSEA Secretariat is organizing a webinar series on the development and implementation of the post-2020 global biodiversity framework, in order to share views on COBSEA’s role in this context.

The COBSEA Secretariat is hosting a webinar series to discuss the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework. The first webinar focuses on UNEP’s work with and through Regional Seas Conventions and Action Plans on development, implementation and tracking related to the Framework. The webinar will provide an opportunity to discuss further efforts through COBSEA.
