Since we gained some wins at the UN80 Initiative and I started BBNJ PrepCom 3 today, I’m sharing this brief to everyone beyond the monthly members. This, as s a thank you for subscribing.
Here are some of the takeaways:
BBNJ PrepCom 3 Day 1: The full list of where Indigenous Peoples stand after years of socializing three ingredients.
BBNJ COP 1 will be January 11 to 22 in New York and why that is an equation, not a political choice.
Why a caucus is a verb before it is a noun and what the threshold is for creating one. Why a CBD caucus should not expand to cover BBNJ.
The UN80 final text: What survived, what got removed, what got made vague.
The UN80 working group is open to observers. That is what we pushed for. Now Indigenous Peoples need to show up and protect HR and Indigenous mandates.
UN80 silence procedure expires tomorrow. Phase two is about to start.
