Forest Genetic Resources
Los centros de coordinación nacional
La función principal de los centros de coordinación nacional es servir de enlace entre la Secretaría del Grupo de trabajo técnico intergubernamental sobre los recursos genéticos forestales y sus países, en aspectos relacionados con los recursos genéticos forestales. Por otra parte, se espera que los centros de coordinación nacional inicien y coordinen, en su caso, la preparación de los informes nacionales sobre los recursos genéticos forestales.
Mediante las circulares a los Estados C/CBD-7, de 22 de mayo de 2017 (disponible en árabe, inglés, francés, ruso y español) y C/CBD-10, de 18 de junio de 2019 (disponible en árabe, inglés, francés, ruso y español), la FAO invitó a los Miembros a designar a los centros de coordinación o coordinadores nacionales o a actualizar sus datos, según corresponda, para dar seguimiento a la aplicación del Plan de acción mundial para la conservación, la utilización sostenible y el desarrollo de los recursos genéticos forestales y para la preparación del Segundo Informe sobre el Estado de los Recursos Genéticos Forestales en el Mundo.
