Forest Genetic Resources
Points focaux nationaux
Les Points focaux nationaux ont comme fonction première de faire la liaison entre le Secrétaire du Groupe de travail technique intergouvernemental sur les ressources génétiques forestières et leur pays pour toute question concernant les ressources génétiques forestières. De plus, les Points focaux nationaux sont chargés de lancer et de coordonner, comme il convient, la préparation des rapports de pays sur les ressources génétiques forestières.
Dans des lettres circulaires aux gouvernements – C/CBD-7 du 22 mai 2017 (disponible en arabe, anglais, français,russe et espagnol) et C/CBD-10 du 18 juin 2019 (disponible en arabe, anglais, français, russe et espagnol) – la FAO a invité ses membres à mettre à jour les nominations de leurs Points focaux nationaux chargés du suivi de le mise en œuvre du Plan d’action mondial pour la conservation, l’utilisation durable et la mise en valeur des ressources génétiques forestières et pour la préparation du Deuxième rapport sur l’État des ressources génétiques forestières dans le monde.
