Accredited to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity, nrg4SD worked closely with the Secretariat of the Convention in the run up to COP 10 in Nagoya towards the elaboration of the Plan of Action on Subnational Governments, Cities and Local Authorities. During its participation in COP 10 in Nagoya, nrg4SD highlighted the key role of subnational governments in biodiversity preservation and was honoured to be given a prominent role in the historic Decision X/22 adopting the Plan of Action.
nrg4SD takes part in the Global Partnership for Biodiversity and, following from Decision X/22, is collaborating with the Secretariat and the Parties of the Convention in order to facilitate the implementation of the Plan of Action and the establishment of an Advisory Committee of Subnational Governments for Biodiversity. In doing so, nrg4SD is also working with all the members of the global partnership, and in particular with ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability, who are key partners to the Convention for the implementation of the Plan of Action and the establishment of the Advisory Committee of Local Authorities and Cities.
nrg4SD has also established two working groups relevant to biodiversity. The first one focuses on the implementation of the UN CBD Plan of Action, while the second one is devoted to Forests Policy.
