Work of the Panel

The work of the STRP is guided by a triennial work plan built around the terms and thematic work areas in Resolution XIV.14: Future implementation of scientific and technical aspects of the Convention for 2023-2025, requests by Contracting Parties in COP Resolutions and the Strategic Plan of the Convention. 

Five STRP thematic work areas for the 2023-2025 triennium are defined in Resolution XIV.14, Annex 2:

  • Thematic Work Area 1: Wetlands of International Importance, development of the Site network and application of criteria.
  • Thematic Work Area 2: Tools for wetland assessment, mapping and monitoring, and development of inventories.
  • Thematic Work Area 3: Direct and climate-change-related pressures on wetlands, their impacts and responses.
  • Thematic Work Area 4: Wise use, sustainable management and restoration of wetlands in the wider landscape/seascape.
  • Thematic Work Area 5: Cross-cutting issues, supporting functions, and synergies with other MEAs.
