| CITES Asian Regional Training Seminar on Demand Reduction Strategies to Combat Illegal Trade in CITES-listed Species | Singapore 10 - 11 octobre 2023 |
This training seminar is organized in accordance with Decision 19.55 on Demand reduction to combat illegal trade adopted by the Conference of the Parties to CITES at its 19th meeting (CoP19, Panama City, November 2022). The seminar aims to build capacity for CITES Parties in the Asian region and their partners in the use of the Guidance for CITES Parties to Develop and Implement Demand Reduction Strategies to Combat Illegal Trade in CITES‐listed Species, including the identification of priority species for pilot projects in each country, and to facilitate exchanges of experiences among Asian Parties and identify key partners within the country around the design and implementation of demand reduction strategies. See the agenda. |
| CITES-ESCAP regional workshop on electronic CITES permitting systems in Asia (Hybrid) | Bangkok, Thailand 17 - 18 juillet 2023 |
The objective of electronic CITES or eCITES permitting systems is to improve the implementation of the Convention by using modern Information and Communication Technologies to simplify compliant trade and to combat illegal trade. Implementation of these systems should not be considered as only implementing an ICT system. Rather, taking the opportunity to implement such systems, the Parties will be able to review the procedures for application, issuance, control and exchange of permit information. Interest for implementing the eCITES systems is gradually increasing across the CITES Parties. The objective of the workshop is to build the capacity of the representatives of CITES Management Authorities and other relevant agencies that are planning or interested in developing electronic CITES permitting systems or exchange electronic permit information. The workshop will deliberate on various guidance and tools available and discuss relevant issues that are considered challenging and need attention. The workshop will be organized in a hybrid format. For online participation, please register here. Connection details will be shared upon registration. In-person attendees do not need to register online. For practical information, see information note. Programme Schedule Workshop Presentations
