Colleagues,
Our ENB team is at the July 2019 session of the High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF), covering the negotiations and side events and tracking report launches and initiatives for our SDG Knowledge Hub (http://sdg.iisd.org/). Be sure to check out our photos, short videos and more at http://enb.iisd.org/hlpf/2019/
Hot Off the Press
The 41st meeting of the Open-ended Working Group of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer (OEWG 41) laid the groundwork for decisions to be taken at the 31st Meeting of the Parties (MOP 31), which will convene in November 2019. Our ENB analysis looks at the Montreal Protocol’s more than 30-year history of surmounting challenges by channeling the guiding principles and practices of the Montreal Protocol: trust in science, trust among parties, and trust in the Protocol itself. http://enb.iisd.org/ozone/
Held under the theme, “Making biodiversity matter: Knowledge and know-how for the post-2020 global biodiversity framework,” the ninth Trondheim Conference on Biodiversity provided an opportunity for decision makers and experts to informally discuss key issues related to the post-2020 global biodiversity framework. The Conference aimed to support the process established by the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), by facilitating a shared understanding of key knowledge areas and helping to ensure that the process for developing the post-2020 framework is knowledge-based, just, and inclusive. http://enb.iisd.org/biodiv/

The HLPF opened on Tuesday, 9 July. In her opening statement, Inga Rhonda King, President, UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), highlighted why this HLPF session is particularly important: it is the last meeting in the HLPF’s first cycle, marking the conclusion of the review of all 17 SDGs, discussion on four themes, and presentation of 142 voluntary national reviews; it will send messages to the SDG Summit in September 2019; it will start discussions on how HLPF did in the past four years, and what changes are needed; and it will reflect on collective progress in SDG implementation, globally, regionally, nationally, and locally. http://enb.iisd.org/hlpf/2019/
On the Horizon
Our schedule for August is particularly busy this year. We will begin the month at IPCC-50, which will consider the Special Report on Climate Change and Land. The 18th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES CoP18), which was originally scheduled to take place in May, will now take place in August. We will be sending teams to two other biodiversity-focused meetings before August concludes – the third session of the IGC on an international legally binding instrument under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) on the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction (BBNJ) and the first meeting of the Open-ended Working Group on the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework.
