The Way Forward



Challenges

• Maximizing support for LBS from ongoing &

future projects

• Competing national/regional priorities

• Limited Financial Resources

• Limited Human Capacity

• LBS Protocol Ratification


Lessons Learnt • Communications & Engagement of Media

• Integrate Pollution with Climate Change,

Biodiversity & Human Health

• South-South Cooperation

• Sharing of Best Practices & Case Studies

• Champions – Technical & Political

• On the Ground/Local Implementation

• Sustainability of outputs/impacts


1st LBS STAC Recommended:

Approve revised work plan and budget for 2013-2014

Provide guidance to Secretariat on priorities for

unfunded projects & activities

Formalize Technical Interim Working Group on

Monitoring & Assessment

Endorse the SOCAR outline & its continued

development – data sensitivity,

Governments assist Secretariat with mobilization of

additional financial resources



Ratification of LBS Protocol by Non-Contracting

Parties

Active involvement & support by countries to the UN

Regular Process

Increased use of decision-support tools/CHM &

improved exchange of data, information &

experiences among countries in all languages;

Continued support to work of the GPA – nutrients,

wastewater, marine litter and NPAs



Secretariat maximize use of RACs & RAN to

implement future projects

Use of the reporting template for the Cartagena

Convention

Guidance provided by STAC be used for further

development of follow up project to REPCar

Continued collaboration by the Secretariat with the

GEF CLME project

Secretariat convene a Panel Discussion at 1st LBS

COP
