InforMEA is a web portal and the first project established by "The MEA IKM Initiative". InforMEA harvests COPs and GBs decisions and resolutions, news, events, membership, national focal points, national reports and implementation plans from Secretariats of the treaties, conventions and the other relevant instruments and organizes this information around a set of agreed terms.

The MEA IKM Initiative is an information and knowledge management initiative that brings together multilateral environmental agreements and other relevant international instruments to share information. It has developed harmonized and interoperable information systems for the benefit of Parties and their communities. The Initiative is funded by the European Union and facilitated by the United Nations Environment Programme and is governed by a steering committee that meets annually and provides strategic direction. It has also several ad hoc thematic working groups that meet electronically several times during the year to help with the technical implementation.

The MEA IKM initiative  is co-chaired by UNEP and CITES and brings together 22 MEA Secretariats hosted by 5 UN organizations and IUCN, in addition to observers and partners, to develop harmonized and interoperable information systems for the benefit of parties and the environment community at large. InforMEA is facilitated by UNEP and financially supported by the European Union.

So far, the International Treaty has contributed to InforMEA with news, events, information on the country membership and the officially designated national focal points, national reports on the implementation of the International Treaty and decisions of the Governing Body. The International Treaty has also collaborated with InforMEA in the development of training courses related to biodiversity conservation and use.
