Inclusive and Effective Implementation of Draft Target 3: Lessons Learnt from Past Country Experiences

The draft Target 3 of the Global Biodiversity Framework, if adopted is likely to call for the promotion of well-connected systems of equitably governed and effectively managed protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs). This side event brings together several countries supported by the GEF that are starting inclusive and effective protected area and OECM planning processes.   During the event, they will share their past experiences and future plans. These countries include representatives from Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, Namibia, Nepal and Zimbabwe. The event will also showcase work being undertaken to develop a guide for national planning to inclusively and effectively reach GBF draft Target 3 when adopted.
