As a party to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), Malaysia is required to send a report of our progress every four years. Representatives from various government ministries, departments and agencies attended the first National Workshop in preparation for the 6th National Report to the CBD.
The workshop was coordinated by representatives from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (NRE) and United Nations Development Programme. Participants were briefed on the National Policy on Biological Diversity 2016-2025 before assigned to break out groups. Each ministry/department/agency provided an account of their annual programmes.
