This Forum will conclude the process of developing the post-2020 Mediterranean MPA roadmap, which started in October 2020 through an extensive online multi-stakeholder consultation. An important part of the Forum’s programme is therefore focused on the finalisation of the post-2020 MPA roadmap and the development of an implementation framework aligned with the post-2020 global biodiversity framework being developed by the Convention on Biological Diversity and complementary to the post-2020 regional strategy for MPAs and OECMs in the Mediterranean, which is being developed under the Barcelona Convention.
Plan Bleu and the Mediterranean Biodiversity Protection Community aim to contribute to the recommendations of the roadmap that will be finalised at the MPA Forum through 3 sessions and 2 side events:
- DS17: Mainstreaming climate change adaptation into Mediterranean MPAs. November 30th from 11 am to 12.30pm
- DS19 : Overcoming obstacles to the designation and effective implementation of MPAs. November 30th from 11 am to 12.30pm
