Summary
A case is put forward to make best use of UNEP’s Regional Seas Programme (RSP) for the Convention on Biological\\nDiversity’s (CBD) post-2020 global biodiversity framework (GBF). A review of the work of the RSP’s\\ncomponent Regional Seas Conventions and Action Plans (RSCAPs) highlights their potential for strengthening the\\nmarine and regional outlook of the GBF, as well as their current limitations. Recommendations are made to the\\nCBD, the UNEP-RSP, its RSCAPs and to their member Parties/States to foster and further develop their mutually\\nreinforcing roles in supporting a regional marine biodiversity dimension.
