Mr. Wit shared the work of the Commission on Ecosystem Management carried out over the last four years. The Commission works on specific ecosystems, such as wetlands, mountains, and subjects such as听fisheries and deep-sea mining, and it has over 20 thematic groups. Some newer thematic groups include arctic ecosystems, nanotechnology and aquaculture. Mr.听Wit encouraged Commission Members to come forward with new thematic areas to focus on.

He also highlighted the fact听that CEM maintains a Red List of Ecosystems which is compiled using the same scientific rigor and process as that of the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Red List of Species, as well as听the importance of inclusive thinking in conservation work听which has led to 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播鈥檚 increased role in disaster-risk reduction.

Mr. Mahmood Akhtar Cheema, Country Representative, 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Pakistan discussed the initiatives of 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 for protecting ecosystems from coast to mountains, and听the significance of 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播鈥檚 role in mainstreaming听environmental considerations in development works to be undertaken under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). The CPEC is a key area of focus for 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Pakistan, and听a meeting with relevant stakeholders will take place soon.

Mr. Cheema听noted that 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播鈥檚 partnerships with Commission Members in projects has been on the rise, and that about half a dozen projects prepared in the recent past have been in partnership with Commission Members whose numbers have doubled in the last three years.
