The Ocean&Wetlands Working Group of the China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) has sent delegation to participate in the meeting on-site.
On June 25th, 2024, delegates addressed the programme of work, schedule, and intersessional work of the Preparatory Commission and called for the dates to be set at this meeting or as early as possible to allow them to plan.
The Secretariat presented a report on the status of the trust fund for the participation of developing countries. He noted the trust fund is currently depleted after funding 19 delegates to attend this meeting and called for new contributions.
