To mark the importance of a Pacific initiated agenda for Nature Conservation for 2020 and beyond, the organizers will convene a regional High-Level Segment on 26 November 2020 as part of the 10th Pacific Islands Conference for Nature Conservation and Protected Areas.

​

This High-Level Segment on nature conservation action in Pacific Island countries and territories 2020-2025, will be a meeting of government Ministers and Heads of Organisations of the PIRT members.

​

The meeting will give Pacific countries and territories Member States and PIRT members the opportunity to express commitment to regional priorities and support a post-engagement strategy. The first step of that strategy is to raise the Pacific voice on the 15th Conference of Parties (COP15) to the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).

​

The outcomes of the conference and the High-Level Segment should support the objectives to:

• Influence the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework

• Guide and innovate conservation action at a national and regional level in Oceania

• Secure sustainable funding for nature conservation in Oceania
