2022 Sustainable Development Transformation Forum
Building back better from the COVID-19 pandemic and fostering the implementation of the 2030 Agenda
28 February – 3 March 2022
The Forum was organised by the United Nations Office for Sustainable Development (UNOSD), which is part of the Division for Sustainable Development Goals (DSDG) of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA). UNOSD contributes to building, exchanging, and facilitating the use of knowledge in support of sustainable development across the UN system. NOWPAP directly contributed to this meeting.
Development of a video manual on environmental DNA (eDNA) experiment
Environmental DNA (eDNA) is a practicable tool to provide information on biodiversity. This tool has been developed in the field of molecular biology and has big potential to reduce the time and effort of modern biological monitoring. The rapid technological development in eDNA analysis has happened during the last decade.
UNEP Executive Director Guides Regional Seas Conventions and Action Plans -A virtual Meeting of UNEP ED with Regional Seas Coordinators
The UNEP-coordinated Regional Seas Programme (RSP), which includes globally eighteen individual Regional Seas Conventions and Action Plans (RSCAP), is one of the key comparative advantages of UNEP in the field of Regional Ocean Governance (ROG). Seven of them are directly administered by UNEP, and they provide secretariat services on behalf of the riparian to the corresponding water bodies countries. UNEP Executive Director (ED) traditionally pays significant attention to supporting and mainstreaming activities of the RSCAPs in the respective regions and globally. A meeting of UNEP ED and UNEP Senior Management Team with the Coordinators of the UNEP-administered RSCAPs is regularly organised to ensure proper feedback from the regions and strategic guidance by senior UNEP officials to individual Regional Seas Programmes.
