This CBD COP16 Hub Session, hosted by UNCTAD in partnership with SEI and JNCC, will take place in the lead-up to Trade Day. SEI’s Jonathan Green and other experts will discuss the role of trade data and indicators, including tools like SEI’s GEIC indicator, in supporting biodiversity and the Global Biodiversity Framework.

Trade data, particularly for biodiversity-based products, is often scattered and not easily accessible. Reliable data and indicators are critical for assessing the socio-economic and environmental impacts of trade, and for supporting decision-making to meet biodiversity goals. This session will explore the types of trade-related data necessary to support the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) and highlight relevant tools and initiatives.

Key topics to be covered include:

  • The Trade and Biodiversity (TraBio) statistical tool
  • SEI/JNCC’s Global Environmental Impacts of Consumption (GEIC) indicator
  • UNODC’s wildlife trafficking SDG indicator
  • Insights from the informal Working Group on Trade and Biodiversity Statistics

This CBD COP16 side event is hosted by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), in partnership with SEI and the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC).
