Présentation (en anglais) :
The Secretariat of the Abidjan Convention has invited the Partnership for Regional Ocean Governance (PROG) to provide support in launching and operationalizing the Working Group, including by organizing a first scoping workshop. This workshop will gather 15-20 experts from the Abidjan Convention Contracting Parties, international and regional organisations, NGOs and research centres. The aim of this workshop will be:
- to preliminarily update participants on the negotiation process towards the elaboration of an international instrument dedicated to ABNJ;
- to inform participants on existing regional initiatives in ABNJ (in the North-East Atlantic, Mediterranean, the Southern Ocean and Sargasso Sea regions in particular);
- to elaborate draft terms of reference (ToR) for the Working Group, as well as its draft programme of work, for consideration by the Abidjan Convention Parties.
* The PROG is an initiative led by IDDRI, IASS and UNEP which aims to provide Regional Seas programmes with technical and legal assistance in developing and implemeting strategies for the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity.
