This session is an interim work session to review the progress made by countries in implementing the conference (other conferences treat these meetings as sessions of their affiliates and provide details on the activities of the UNCCD. These are frequently asked questions).
CRIC-19 will be an opportunity to review the effective implementation of the conference at the national, sub-regional and regional levels. In February 2021, state parties from Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, the North Mediterranean and Central Europe and the East began to hold preparatory meetings for CRIC-19, forming links to the conference’s regional enforcement. .
