The secretariat for the UN Convention on Biological Diversity has put out a call to invite Parties, indigenous peoples and local communities, and stakeholders to submit case studies on relevant traditional knowledge, innovations, practices and technology of indigenous peoples and local communities, as well as other information on activities to engage and support indigenous peoples and local communities in implementing the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, to support the preparation of the global report on collective progress in the implementation of the Framework. I thought this may be of interest to some of you that work at the intersection of fire management and traditional knowledge and/or community engagement.
To facilitate the submission and collection of information, the Secretariat has prepared a template for submission, but Indigenous peoples and local communities are encouraged to submit information and traditional knowledge in the format and manner they consider most appropriate and suitable to their contexts.
Information should be submitted no later than 1 October 2025 through the following link: https://chm.cbd.int/submit/submission/new?notification=2025-100.
