PoWPA should address MPAs within national jurisdiction and the CBD Marine & Coastal POW address goals and targets concerning Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction • Climate: COP10 strongly endorses inclusion of protected area systems & surrounding landscapes / seascapes in international agreements regarding climate change response strategies, including for both mitigation and adaptation purposes International Workshop on the future of the CBD PoWPA, Jeju, 2009

  5. Key recommendations to COP-10 • Governance: COP10 recommends establishment of a time-bound working group and action plan for joint activities between PoWPA, the PoW on Forests and on Articles 8j and 10c of the Convention regarding Access and Benefit Sharing • Costs and benefits: COP10 recommends completion of an agreed framework for cost-benefit analysis, in order for Parties to undertake assessments of the values, costs and benefits of protected area systems and individual sites International Workshop on the future of the CBD PoWPA, Jeju, 2009

  6. Key recommendations to COP-10 • Reporting: COP10 invites adoption of a reporting process that: allows periodic reporting; uses a standard, user-friendly, web-based framework; and includes key assessments and actions on targets • Master plan: COP10 invites Parties to develop, through inter-agency coordination, an overall, long-term strategic plan for protected area systems, taking into account key PoWPA assessments

  7. Key recommendations to COP-10 • Timetable: COP10 adopts a schedule of indicators and revised timelines for PoWPA, based on agreed Post 2010 targets and the revised CBD Strategic Plan and disaggregated for each Party. Reporting by Parties should be based on these national targets/indicators • Finance: COP10 encourages Parties to determine funding needs based on assessments of national priorities, and to express these as proposals via the CBD LifeWeb and other multilateral and bilateral funding mechanisms International Workshop on the future of the CBD PoWPA, Jeju, 2009
