COP14

An important part of our work is directed towards the Convention of Parties to the Ramsar Convention, or Ramsar COP, the large meeting that happens every three years.

COP14 took place between 5 and 13 November, with the physical meeting in Geneva, Switzerland. The high-level activities were lead virtually by China. The theme was ‘wetland actions for people and nature’. WWN played an active role, assisting Youth Engaged in Wetlands, running daily briefings, hosting and presenting in side-events, and drafting and delivering the NGO Statement to the closing plenary session of the COP.
