Biodiversity Liaison Group

In order to enhance coherence and cooperation in implementation, a liaison group has been established between the heads of the secretariats of the five biodiversity-related conventions. The Biodiversity Liaison Group meets regularly to explore opportunities for synergistic activities and increased coordination, and to exchange information.

The mandate for establishing a liaison group among the five biodiversity-related conventions was set out by the Parties to the CBD, in decision VII/26 (paragraphs 1 and 2).

At its most recent meeting, in October 2005, the Liaison Group considered options for a Global Partnership for Biodiversity, the role of the BLG in meetings of the biodiversity-related conventions and other relevant meetings, and further means to enhance cooperation.
