开启《联合国防治荒漠化公约》未来战略政府间工作组提名程序

Following a key decision at COP16 in Riyadh in December 2024, the process to shape the future direction of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) is now officially underway. The COP Bureau has approved the Terms of Reference for the Intergovernmental Working Group on the Future Strategic Framework (IWG-FSF), paving the way for nominations. The IWG-FSF will lead the development of a post-2030 strategy for the Convention. Its mandate includes identifying key elements, including possible goals and targets, for the future strategic framework, and conducting a thorough analysis of the current indicators used in national reporting.

继2024年12月在利雅得举行的COP16会议上做出一项关键决定之后，塑造《联合国防治荒漠化公约》 (UNCCD) 未来方向的进程现已正式开始。缔约方会议主席团批准了未来战略框架政府间工作组 (iwg-fsf) 的职权范围，为提名奠定基础。Iwg-fsf将领导制定《公约》2030后战略。其任务包括确定未来战略框架的关键要素，包括可能的目标和指标，并对国家报告中使用的当前指标进行彻底分析。

Building on the milestones of the 2018–2030 Strategic Framework, the IWG-FSF will also consider lessons from its midterm evaluation, insights from the IWG on Drought and broader UN indicators, such as the Sustainable Development Goals.

基于2018-2030战略框架的里程碑，iwg-fsf还将考虑其中期评估的经验教训，IWG关于干旱的见解以及更广泛的联合国指标，例如可持续发展目标。

Each regional annex will nominate three representatives. In addition, the group will include five technical experts: one each from civil society and international organizations and three independent experts. Final appointments will be made within two months of the Terms of Reference approval.

每个区域附件将提名三名代表。此外，该小组将包括五名技术专家: 民间社会和国际组织各一名，以及三名独立专家。最终任命将在职权范围批准后的两个月内进行。

The approved Terms of Reference will be shared with Parties through the UNCCD national focal points and science and technology correspondents.

核准的职权范围将通过《联合国防治荒漠化公约》国家联络点和科学技术通讯员与缔约方分享。

The IWG-FSF is expected to deliver an interim progress report at the 23rd session of the Committee for the Review of the Implementation of the Convention (CRIC 23) in December 2025.

Iwg-fsf预计将在2025年12月《公约》执行情况审评委员会 (CRIC 23) 第二十三届会议上提交一份临时进度报告。
