The Regional Consultative Meeting on Biodiversity Mainstreaming across Agricultural Sectors in Asia and the Pacific was held last 17 to 18 July 2019 in Bangkok, Thailand. The Meeting was co-organized by FAO and the UN CBD Secretariat, in collaboration with the Office of Natural Resources and Environment Policy and Planning (ONEP) and the Biodiversity-Based Economy Development Office (BEDO) of the Kingdom of Thailand. The main objective of the Regional Consultative Meeting was to engage a broad range of stakeholders to share local, national, and regional experiences and lessons learned (including gaps and challenges) on mainstreaming biodiversity across agricultural sectors. In addition, it aimed at identifying concrete areas for joint actions, at the regional and country levels, in view of the preparations for the UN CBD Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework and for the FAO Strategy on Mainstreaming Biodiversity across Agricultural Sectors (the Strategy).
