As #COP16Colombia kicks off, a new report commissioned by Wetlands International shows that #wetlands feature in the vast majority of the new National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (#NBSAPs) submitted by countries. Encouragingly, 83% of submitted NBSAPs explicitly mention the terms “wetlands”, “inland waters” or “freshwater” in their targets. However, few parties have comprehensively and specifically integrated wetlands throughout the targets and indicators, instead frequently using generic statements to cover all ecosystems without specific wetland targets. To help countries harness the power of wetlands to deliver the GBF, Wetlands International encourages all countries to use guidance on incorporating wetlands into NBSAPs: wetlands.org/publication/sca… @UNBiodiversity @RamsarConv
