Executive Summary

The National Biodiversity Planning to Support the Implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity 2011-2020 Strategic Plan in Malaysia (NBSAP) is a project implemented by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (NRE). This project is implemented with the grant financing from the Global Environment Facility (GEF), co-financing from the Government of Malaysia (GoM) and supported by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Malaysia. The objective of this project is to integrate Malaysia‟s obligations under the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) into its national development and sectoral planning frameworks through a renewed and participative biodiversity planning and strategising process, aligning the results of the process to the global guidance contained in the global Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 (SPB).

This project also responds to the findings of the National Capacity Self-Assessment for Global Environmental Management (NCSA) project conducted in 2008 that recommended assessment on the current status of biodiversity vis-à-vis the implementation of National Policy on Biological Diversity 1998 be conducted. It also suggested that the Policy be reviewed to reflect the nation‟s priorities in biodiversity. In 2010, the Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD) adopted the SPB and its Aichi Biodiversity Targets that called for a renewed global effort to halt biodiversity loss. Country Parties are required to develop or update their NBSAP and report on their NBSAP progress, its implementation and mainstreaming of biodiversity in the Fifth National Report to CBD which is due in March 2014 and subsequently to the 12th Conference of Parties (COP 12) of the CBD in October 2014. To facilitate the NBSAP process in Malaysia, a proposal was submitted to the Global Environment Facility (GEF) to be eligible for funding. The proposal was approved by GEF on 8 March 2012 and the project document was signed on 14 May 2012. This project will be implemented in 3 and half years with a total funding of US$1,320, 000.

This project will be conducted in a participative and consultative manner and is divided into three components namely (1) a participative stocktaking exercise on biodiversity planning takes place and national biodiversity targets are developed in response to the global Aichi Biodiversity Targets; (2) the NBSAP is revised/updated and it fully integrates new aspects of the CBD strategic plan, such as mainstreaming and anchoring the implementation of the plan into national development frameworks and valuing ecosystem services; and (3) national frameworks for resource mobilisation, Convention reporting and exchange mechanisms are strengthened.

In summary, the key NBSAP project outputs are (1) an updated National Policy on Biological Diversity (NPBD) (2) national biodiversity strategies, targets and action plans attuned to the SPB and its Aichi Biodiversity Targets; (3) a resource mobilisation plan to implement the updated NPBD; and (4) three strategic studies

3 namely The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB), assessment of climate change impacts on ecosystems and biodiversity and the Program of Work on Protected Areas (PoWPA).

The first National Steering Committee (NSC) meeting was held on 19 September 2012 to formally introduce the project to key stakeholders and to provide them the opportunity to provide inputs to the project. The NSC reviewed and endorsed the project‟s work plan and budget and adopted the Terms of Reference of the NSC with amendments. The NSC also agreed with the establishment of Technical Working Groups that will serve as technical arms to the project.

An Inception Workshop was held on 20 December 2012 at Royale Chulan Hotel, Kuala Lumpur to introduce the project to wider stakeholders and to provide them an opportunity to comment and give inputs on the strategic result framework, project activities and schedule. The workshop was attended by over 30 participants comprising representatives from federal and state government agencies, research institutions and non-governmental organisations. Based on the inputs from the inception workshop, revised strategic result framework and project schedule were produced. All amended documents are presented as annexes in this report.

1.0 Introduction

1.1 Project Background

Malaysia is recognized as one of the twelve mega diverse countries in the world. Its biodiversity are exceedingly rich comprising various ecosystems and species that are important for national development and well being of the people of Malaysia. As a commitment to conserve biodiversity, Malaysia became party to various Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs) and this includes the United Nations Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD). Subsequent to becoming party to the CBD in 1994, Malaysia developed its NBSAP which is known as the National Policy on Biological Diversity (NPBD) in 1998 to guide the overall biodiversity management in the country as well as to fulfill its obligations under the Convention.

At the global level, the finding of the Third Global Biodiversity Outlook concluded that the 2010 global biodiversity targets adopted in 2002 were not fully met. This is largely attributed to the lack of coherent efforts on biodiversity including limited capacity in financial, human resource and technical aspects and limited biodiversity mainstreaming. It further cautioned that biodiversity loss will continue to happen if corrective measures are not taken. The Tenth Conference of the Parties to the CBD further addressed this issue, culminated in the adoption of the CBD SPB 2011-2020 and its Aichi Biodiversity Targets in Nagoya, Japan in 2010. Target 17 of the Aichi Targets states that “By 2015, each Party has developed, adopted as a policy instrument, and has commenced implementing an effective, participatory and updated national biodiversity strategy and action plan.” As part of the commitment under the Convention, Country Parties are required to implement the SPB 2011- 2020 and its Aichi Biodiversity Targets and report on progress made in relation to this at the latest by COP 12 in 2014.

In Malaysia, the NPBD provides a general and overarching strategies and action plans with the vision of transforming Malaysia into a world centre of excellence in conservation, research and utilization of tropical biological diversity by 2020. The Policy outlined 15 key strategies and 87 action plans with regard to biodiversity conservation and sustainable utilisation. Under the 2008 National Capacity Self- Assessment for Global Environmental Management and National Capacity Action Plan (NCSA), gaps hindering the effective implementation of the Policy were identified and articulated. The NCSA then recommended that the NPBD be reviewed, taking into account the current status of biodiversity and it also highlighted the need to develop concrete biodiversity targets with clear timeframe for implementation as well as delegation of duties and framework for implementation.

Under the NBSAP project, the NPBD will be reviewed taking into account the CBD SPB and its Aichi Biodiversity Targets as well as national biodiversity priorities. This project also addresses the country‟s need to continue to fulfill its obligation under CBD, particularly on the Convention‟s Article 6 and the CBD COP Decision X/2. GEF has approved Malaysia‟s project proposal in March 2012 with the funding of USD 220,000 and co-financing amounting to USD500,000. This project will provide an opportunity to Malaysia to review and update its NPBD and incorporate new aspects of the SPB into the national development process, in accordance with national circumstances.

In light of the SPB and its Aichi Biodiversity Targets, a number of elements will be incorporated into the revised NBSAP and this include guidance to: a) fully realise the value of biodiversity and ecosystem services, and incorporate these values into national and local development and poverty reduction strategies (Targets 1 and 2); b) to contribute towards increasing the conservation of global terrestrial and inland water to at least 17 per cent, and 10 per cent of coastal and marine areas, especially areas of particular importance for biodiversity and ecosystem services (Target 11); c) restore and safeguard key ecosystem services, especially for water, health and livelihoods (Target 14); and d) strengthen ecosystem resilience to climate change and promote ecosystem-based approaches to climate change adaptation and mitigation (Target 15).

1.2 Project Objective

The goal of the NBSAP project is to enable Malaysia to integrate its obligations in light of the CBD SPB and its Aichi Biodiversity Targets. The specific objective of this project is to integrate Malaysia‟s obligations under the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) into its national development and sectoral planning frameworks through a renewed and participative biodiversity planning and strategizing process, in a manner that is in line with the global guidance contained in the CBD Strategic Plan for 2011-2020.

1.3 Project Outcomes, Outputs and Activities

In achieving the objective of the NBSAP project, its deliverables are structured into three outcome components, namely:

 Outcome 1: A participative stocktaking exercise on biodiversity planning takes place and national biodiversity targets are developed in response to the global Aichi Biodiversity Targets.

 Outcome 2: The NBSAP is revised/updated and it fully integrates new aspects of the CBD Strategic Plan, such as mainstreaming and anchoring the implementation of the plan into national development frameworks, valuing ecosystem services and promoting ecosystem-based adaptation and resilience.

 Outcome 3: National frameworks for resource mobilization, Convention reporting and exchange mechanisms are established and strengthened.

The outcomes of the project, as well as the outputs and activities were discussed in details in a series of stakeholder meetings and the project inception workshop. The outputs and activities are described below and presented in Annex IV (Revised Strategic Results Framework) and Annex V (Revised Project Schedule).

3.0 Inception Phase

3.1 Project Start-up

The NBSAP project was formally commenced after the signing of the project document in May 2012. The inception period was from May 2012 until February 2013. A number of activities were carried out and this include the appointment of a Project Assistant in November 2012 and the Assistant Project Coordinator on 1st January 2013 to assist in managing the project by providing necessary administrative and technical support.

The earlier PMU meetings were held and discussion centred on kick-starting the project, planning for the first NPSC meeting, inception workshop, project management structure as well as the disbursement of 2012 project budget according to planned and prioritized activities, project budget and work plan.

3.2 First NSC Meeting

The first NSC meeting was held on 19 September 2012 and chaired by the Deputy Undersecretary of Biodiversity and Forestry Management Division, NRE. Stakeholders were introduced to the overall project goals, outcomes and immediate planned activities of the project based on the agreed project document and the reporting format required by GEF. It has to be noted that the Project Document was already finalized prior to this NSC since a few stakeholders consultations were already conducted during the scoping exercise for this project done in 2011. The meeting also agreed on the Terms of Reference and its membership amended based from the stakeholders‟ comments (Annex I).

3.3 Inception Workshop

An Inception Workshop was held on 20 December 2012 in The Royale Chulan Hotel, Kuala Lumpur with over 30 participants from federal, state agencies and NGOs. The workshop discussed specifically on the Strategic Result Framework of the project and project‟s work plan in an open participatory approach. The revised and updated SRF based on inputs from the workshop is attached in Annex IV.

In addition the potential three strategic studies to be undertaken during the course of this project were also presented. The potential strategic studies are the study on The Economics of Ecosystem and Biodiversity (TEEB), and the Programme of Work of Protected Areas (PoWPA) and the Ecosystem Based Adaptation (EBA). The summary report of the NBSAP inception report is attached in Annex X.

3.4 Changes to the Strategic Result Framework and Procurement Plan

The outcomes and detailed outputs and activities of the NBSAP project as projected in the Strategic Result Framework (SRF) was discussed in detail during the inception workshop and among the project PMU. These changes had been endorsed by the NSC.

Annex IV shows the revised SRF and it shall be referred to as the final SRF. The changes made to the SRF are justified as follows:

Objective:

During the inception workshop, stakeholders agreed to include measurable biodiversity conservation and sustainable use targets not limited but including the following sectoral planning and development planning frameworks.

 Three sectoral planning frameworks namely forestry, fisheries and commodities.  Three development planning frameworks namely land use management including spatial infrastructural development planning, development finance and climate change mainstreaming.

Output 1.2:

Based on stakeholders response taking into account the need to have concrete action plans for the implementation of the national biodiversity targets, output 1.2 has been revised to include the development of national biodiversity strategies and action plans and it now reads as:

“In response to the global Aichi Biodiversity Targets, national biodiversity targets, strategies and action plans are developed in a manner that is attuned to Malaysia‟s circumstances.”

Output 2.3:

Three strategic studies will be carried out under the NBSAP project namely:

 Local TEEB study/TEEB scoping study: assessing and capturing value in ecosystems‟ goods and services in Malaysia;  Assessment of the impacts of climate change on ecosystems and biodiversity; and  Developing the PoWPA Action Plan by integrating key Aichi Biodiversity Targets into national implementation of the CBD‟s Programme of Work on Protected Areas (PoWPA).

Changes to output 3.2 include:  Adjustment to the earlier suggested strategic study on exploring and producing the costing options to promote ecosystem-based adaptation and resilience to climate change in Malaysia which requires mapping of species and ecosystem distribution in scenarios of climate variability and change as an aid to the analysis of ecosystem vulnerability and resilience. The complexity of the study was viewed to be beyond the objective of the NBSAP Project as it is a very technical study that requires specific scientific data. It was agreed by the second NSC meeting that a less data intensive study to study the impacts of climate change on ecosystems and biodiversity be undertaken.

 On top of the three strategic studies, the study on „Mainstreaming biodiversity into key sectors and developing opportunities for conservation and sustainable use‟ which was originally planned as one of the strategic studies will be internalized in the NBSAP updating process. Hence, a specific study on biodiversity mainstreaming will not be undertaken.

Outcome 2:

The end of project target for outcome 2 on completion of the NBSAP revision had been moved from mid 2014 to end of 2014 taking into account the current development of the project implementation. This timeline was agreed by the second NSC which met on 29th November 2013.

3.5 Procurement Plan

Procurement of consultancy firm(s)/individual consultant and goods and services under this project will be done according to the existing government procurement guidelines or UNDP procedures depending on whether procurement is done by government counterpart or the UNDP CO as appropriate according to the decision of the PMU. The list of potential procurement under this project and their indicative cost is attached in Annex VI.

4.0 Challenges Ahead

The inception workshop acknowledged a number of challenges in implementing the project. Challenges identified are listed as follows:

 Limited and scattered biodiversity data that can be barrier to facilitate overall analysis on biodiversity trends and status;  The need to address the capacity issues within the executing agency and also at the national level and state level; and  Turnover of staffs or possible restructuring within the key government ministries, departments or agencies during the course of the project implementation might handicap the implementation of the project as this will require retraining and restoration of institutional memory.

The project team will utilize the best available resources in undertaking this project by acknowledging these challenges at the earliest stage and engaging the right stakeholders during implementation phase.

Terms of Reference Revision of National Policy on Biological Diversity, Development of National Biodiversity Targets, Strategies and Action Plans

A. Project Title: National Biodiversity Planning to Support the Implementation of the CBD 2011-2020 Strategic Plan in Malaysia (NBSAP Malaysia) Country : Malaysia Duty Station : Putrajaya and home-based Duration : March 2014 – March 2015 GEF Agency : United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Executing Partner : Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (NRE)

B. Project Description

Malaysia is a signatory member to the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). The new CBD Strategic Plan 2011 – 2020, adopted at 10th Conference of Parties in 2010 in Nagoya, clearly addresses the need for updating National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAP), stating in Target 17 that “By 2015, each Party has developed, adopted as a policy instrument, and has commenced implementing an effective, participatory and updated national biodiversity strategy and action plan”.

The NBSAP or known as National Policy on Biological Diversity in Malaysia was formulated in 1998 and has not been updated since. The current policy does not include elements such as well-defined roles and responsibilities of key stakeholders, national biodiversity targets and resource mobilisation strategy to implement the policy and action plans at national and state level.

The Government of Malaysia is currently implementing a biodiversity enabling activities project titled „National Biodiversity Planning to Support the Implementation of the CBD 2011-2020 Strategic Plan in Malaysia (NBSAP Malaysia), with the support from UNDP and grant financing from Global Environment Facility (GEF). Outcomes of this project are:

 Outcome 1: A participative stocktaking exercise on biodiversity planning takes place and national biodiversity targets are developed in response to the global Aichi Targets;

 Outcome 2: The NBSAP is revised/updated and it fully integrates new aspects of the CBD strategic plan, such as mainstreaming and anchoring the implementation of the plan into national development frameworks, valuing

ecosystem services and promoting ecosystem-based adaptation and resilience;  Outcome 3: National frameworks for resource mobilisation, Convention reporting and exchange mechanisms are established and strengthened.

Malaysia, one of the mega-biodiversity countries in the world, is a party to the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) since 1994. Malaysia had benefitted from the utilising of rich biodiversity and natural resources in its economic and social development. At the same time, Malaysia is taking a balance approach in the management of biodiversity and ecosystem services to ensure that these services are utilized in a sustainable manner.

As a CBD country party and joining the global efforts to implement the CBD Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 and its Aichi Biodiversity Targets, Malaysia is now in the process of updating its National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP), or known as the National Policy on Biological Diversity 1998. This project titled “National biodiversity planning to support the implementation of the CBD 2011 – 2020 strategic plan in Malaysia” is supported by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) under its Biodiversity Enabling Activities project and by United Nations Development Programme. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (NRE) is the implementing agency for this project.

This project seeks to integrate Malaysia‟s obligations under the CBD into its national development and sectoral planning frameworks through a renewed and participative biodiversity planning and strategizing process, in a manner that is in line with the global guidance in the CBD‟s Strategic Plan for 2011 – 2020.

One of the key outputs under the Project is to conduct a strategic study on The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) for Malaysia. This TEEB strategic study will allow Malaysia to demonstrate the benefits and values of ecosystems and biodiversity at the national level, and identify the process of integrating biodiversity into sectoral and national development planning through concrete biodiversity valuation examples.

SCOPE OF WORK

The purpose of this exercise is to synthesise the methods, information and lessons learned from past studies and research in the application of economic valuation methods and tools to mainstream the value of ecosystems and biodiversity into decision making, planning and development processes.

Specifically, the exercise aims to:

. gather and review existing and updated information on studies and research on the value of ecosystems and biodiversity in Malaysia; . identify critical biodiversity and ecosystems services in Malaysia and propose key critical ecosystem services and proposed suitable methodologies for the implementation of full TEEB study; . study selected sectors and sites which have conducted full economic studies and scenarios development (case studies) in Malaysia including examples from other countries, where applicable, . recommend the objectives (policy context), thematic focus and methodologies/tools for TEEB Malaysia (National TEEB); and . identify stakeholders/ beneficiaries that will be impacted by the TEEB Malaysia.

METHODOLOGY The methodology includes desk research, interviews and meetings/discussions and consultation with relevant stakeholders.

EXPECTED OUTPUTS

The consultant is expected to produce: a) Synopsis and analysis of valuation studies on biodiversity and ecosystem services conducted in Malaysia as well as other countries‟ experience on TEEB as background information; b) Scoping Report for TEEB Malaysia structured along the outline as indicated in Annex 1, as appropriate. The output of the study shall have a section that answers the following questions:

Q1: What are the status and trends of ecosystems in Malaysia and the services they provide to society? Q2: What are the drivers causing changes in the ecosystems and their services in Malaysia? Q3: How do ecosystem services affect human well-being, who and where are the beneficiaries, and how does this affect how they are valued and managed? Q4: Why should we incorporate the economic values of ecosystem services into decision making? Q5 : What are the potential methodologies and tools to mainstream these values into policy and decision making? Q6: How can we secure and improve the continued delivery of biodiversity and ecosystem services?

A detailed record of consultations with stakeholders will need to be produced and provided, as an annex to the main report.

Annex 1: Guideline for the Fifth National Report

Executive Summary

1. For the purposes of communicating to stakeholders at various levels, Parties should prepare an executive summary of the fifth national report that provides the main messages and key findings of the report. These might be derived from answers to the Questions listed under each Part of the main report. The executive summary should be short and concise, preferably between 6 to 10 pages in length. For example, there could be one (or two) paragraph(s) for each question, with each paragraph containing a “bold” statement about the findings of the report. It should ideally serve as a useful “stand-alone” tool to communicate, educate and raise awareness of biodiversity among the general public, relevant decision-makers and other key stakeholder groups. To this end, Parties are encouraged to include illustrative tables, figures and images. While the executive summary can only be finalized after the three main chapters of this report have been completed, an early draft of the executive summary may serve as a useful outline for the development of the report, helping to clarify the main messages.

Main Parts of the Report

Part I: An update on biodiversity status, trends, and threats and implications for human well-being

2. This part should answer the following questions:

Q1: Why is biodiversity important for your country? Please elaborate on the importance of biodiversity by highlighting contributions of biodiversity and related ecosystem services to human well-being and socio-economic development, using information from completed and ongoing biodiversity assessments or studies. Where possible provide estimates of economic, social and cultural values (the economic value can be presented in monetary terms or, for example, in numbers of people supported). Also highlight a few examples of exceptional biodiversity and ecosystems in the country.

Q2: What major changes have taken place in the status and trends of biodiversity in your country? Focus on changes that have occurred, or that have become known, since the fourth or last national report was prepared. The analysis or synthesis should provide a succinct overview of biodiversity status, trends and threats sufficient to inform decision-makers, rather than an exhaustive assessment of these issues. There is no need to repeat detailed descriptions of your country‟s biodiversity that were provided in the fourth or previous national reports. However, countries that have not presented a comprehensive analysis of the status and trends

of biodiversity in their previous reports could do so in this report. Where possible, show changes in biodiversity or other trends over time and use quantitative indicators (with technical details of the indicators provided in an annex). Also draw upon expert qualitative assessments. Illustrate trends with charts, graphs, figures and tables. Where possible, analyse how actions taken (i.e., actions described in part II) have resulted in changes in biodiversity. Use case-studies to illustrate general points. The case-studies should demonstrate significant reductions in the loss of biodiversity (or a specific component) within a defined scale, and a clear rationale of how this is linked to the actions taken. The case will be most useful if it contains lessons that are more widely applicable.

Q3: What are the main threats to biodiversity? (Or, what are the main causes of the negative changes described in the answer to question two?). For the main biomes and/or components of biodiversity, describe the main direct drivers of biodiversity loss (pressures) and the main indirect drivers (underlying causes) and relate these to the relevant economic sectors. Be specific about the direct drivers (e.g., “dynamite fishing”, “coastal development”), but also categorize them (habitat change, climate change, overexploitation, invasive species, pollution), with some detailed analysis.

Q4: What are the impacts of the changes in biodiversity for ecosystem services and the socio-economic and cultural implications of these impacts? Describe the impacts of declining biodiversity and ecosystems on human well-being, livelihoods, poverty reduction, etc. Consider all relevant and significant ecosystem goods and services.

Optional question: What are possible future changes for biodiversity and their impacts? Describe plausible future scenarios for biodiversity in terms of underlying causes, pressures, impacts on biodiversity and implications for human well-being. For example, compare what might happen under “business as usual” policies with what might happen with greater investment in biodiversity and ecosystems. Such scenarios may be simple “what if?” narratives, or based on models if such models are available. Any presentation of future scenarios should describe scientific uncertainties.

Part II: The national biodiversity strategy and action plan, its implementation, and the mainstreaming of biodiversity

3. This part should answer the following questions:

Q5: What are the biodiversity targets set by your country? Describe the measurable targets (for example, for 2020) that have been developed in line with the Aichi Biodiversity Targets of the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020. Please

provide further updates on the targets if your country has submitted a report to the eleventh meeting of the Conference of the Parties. Q6: How has your national biodiversity strategy and action plan been updated to incorporate these targets and to serve as an effective instrument to mainstream biodiversity? Provide a brief description of your national biodiversity strategy and action plan. If the national biodiversity strategy and action plan has been updated, how does it differ from the previous national biodiversity strategy and action plan? Describe: (i) how the actions contained therein will achieve the targets outlined in the answer to question five; (ii) how it will contribute to the achievement of Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020; (iii) how it will address the threats to biodiversity identified in the answer to question three; and (iv) how it addresses the guidance provided in decision IX/8. Describe in particular how the biodiversity strategy and action plan will achieve the integration of biodiversity considerations into broader national plans, programmes and policies, economic and social sectors and levels of government.

Q7: What actions has your country taken to implement the Convention since the fourth report and what have been the outcomes of these actions? Describe relevant legislation, policies, institutional and cooperative mechanisms, and funding. Where relevant, link these actions to outcomes in terms of the status and trends of biodiversity and implications for human well-being. Use case studies and, as appropriate, cross-reference to the answer to question two. Indicate how the actions relate to the various programmes of work and cross-cutting issues of the Convention (with details provided in appendix III), particularly those selected in the multi-year programme of work of the Conference of the Parties for in-depth review at the eleventh and twelfth meetings of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention. Highlight any obstacles to implementation (including lack of capacity, human and financial resources). Note that if your biodiversity strategy and action plan has been recently updated, most of the actions reported may relate to the previous version.

Q8: How effectively has biodiversity been mainstreamed into relevant sectoral and cross-sectoral strategies, plans and programmes? Describe how biodiversity is reflected in poverty reduction strategies and other key cross-cutting policy instruments, and into the various economic sectors (which sectors (and ministries) integrate biodiversity well and which do not?). Describe also how biodiversity is integrated into planning mechanisms. Describe actions taken and outcomes achieved by each sector to implement biodiversity actions included in their respective strategies, plans and programmes. Which tools are used (e.g., ecosystem approach, biodiversity-inclusive environmental impact assessment and strategic environmental assessment, spatial planning, etc.)? Describe also how synergies are achieved at the national level in the implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) and other

relevant conventions. Describe also how biodiversity is considered in international and/or transboundary cooperation, including South-South cooperation.

Q9. How fully has your national biodiversity strategy and action plan been implemented? Analyse the extent to which the national biodiversity strategy and action plan has been implemented. For example, what proportion of the planned activities has been carried out and to what extent have the objectives been met. Identify the remaining challenges for implementation. (Note that if your national biodiversity strategy and action plan has been recently updated, this analysis will relate primarily to the previous version of the national biodiversity strategy and action plan).

Part III: Progress towards the 2020 Aichi Biodiversity Targets and contributions to the relevant 2015 Targets of the Millennium Development Goals

4. This part should draw upon parts I and II to answer the following questions:

Q10: What progress has been made by your country towards the implementation of the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 and its Aichi Biodiversity Targets? Drawing upon information in parts I and II, analyse the progress towards each of the 2020 targets of the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020, as well as towards the overall mission of the Plan. Also indicate progress towards the national targets referred to in the answer to question five (i.e., national actions taken to achieve each target and outcomes achieved). Where possible, use quantitative indicators including the application, as appropriate, of global headline indicators contained in decision VIII/15, as well as additional indicators for measuring progress towards the Aichi Biodiversity Targets that may be adopted at the eleventh meeting of the Conference of the Parties. Technical details of the indicators may provided in an appendix. Also draw upon expert qualitative assessments. You may wish to use a simple “traffic-light” scheme or similar illustrative tool to give an overall assessment of progress.

Q11: What has been the contribution of actions to implement the Convention towards the achievement of the relevant 2015 targets of the Millennium Development Goals in your country? In order to highlight the importance of biodiversity for achieving broader national objectives, and drawing upon, as appropriate, information in parts I and II, analyse how the actions taken to implement the Convention, particularly the implementation of the 2015 milestones and Aichi Biodiversity Targets of the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020, have contributed or are contributing to the achievement of relevant 2015 targets of the Millennium Development Goals, as well as to the Millennium Development Goals overall.

Q12: What lessons have been learned from the implementation of the Convention in your country? Provide an analysis of lessons learned from implementation, highlighting examples of successful and less successful actions taken, including remaining challenges. Also provide suggestions for actions that need to be taken at the national, regional and global levels to further enhance implementation of the Convention at the national level and, in particular, to achieve the strategic goals and targets of the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020.

Annexes and Appendices

5. Use annexes and appendices to provide detailed or supporting information that is not necessary in the main report. Annexes and appendices may be bound separately to limit the size of the main report. Suggested appendices are listed here:

Appendix I - Information concerning the reporting Party and preparation of the fifth national report. Please provide information on the process used to prepare this report, including information on stakeholders involved and material used as a basis for the report. Appendix II - Further sources of information. Parties should provide sources of information on national implementation, such as website addresses, publications, databases and national reports submitted to other related conventions, forums and organizations.

Appendix III - National implementation of the thematic programmes of work and plans under the Convention on Biological Diversity or decisions of the Conference of the Parties related to cross-cutting issues. Parties could use a table or matrix1 to highlight how national actions taken to implement the national biodiversity strategy and action plan, activities related to mainstreaming and the Aichi Biodiversity Targets have contributed or are contributing to goals, targets and activities suggested in the thematic programmes of work and plans or decisions related to cross-cutting issues, particularly those selected in the post-2010 multi-year programme of work of the Convention for in-depth review at the eleventh and twelfth meetings of the Conference of the Parties. Parties could focus on those thematic areas and cross-cutting issues that are nationally-relevant and important.

1 The table or matrix will be developed and provided to Parties in the reference manual for the fifth national report referred to in paragraph 6 above.
