Biodiversity Strategy, Action Plan and National Report (BSAP)

The project enables the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro to prepare the first Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan, through two Republic Strategies, and the first National Report as the initial step to follow up on the national commitments to the Convention of Biodiversity ratified in 2002. The components of the project are: a) Stocktaking, inventory and analysis of existing information and preparation of the Country Study; b) identification and analysis of available options; c) preparation of a Strategy and Action Plan; d) submission of First National Report and launching of BSAP. The project will be implemented through a broad consultative process involving many different groups of stakeholders and thus is expected to enhance public awareness and knowledge on biodiversity-related issues and to strengthen the dialogue, information exchange and cooperation among all the relevant stakeholders including government, non-governmental, academic and private sectors.
