SBSTTA will consider a progress report and technical guidance for better governance towards a more sustainable bushmeat sector; technical guidance to support consideration of biodiversity and ecosystem management in the application of the “One Health” approach.

In addition, SBSTTA will consider information identifying key scientific and technical matters relevant to the mainstreaming of biodiversity in these sectors; a draft workplan, proposed budget and draft communication strategy for the fifth edition of the Global Biodiversity Outlook.
