Subnational and Local Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans

Subnational and Local Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (BSAPs) are increasingly being developed at state/provincial/territorial, local and cities levels. Greater attention is also being given to the development of Regional (supranational) Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans.

SBSAPs prepared by countries at subnational, local and cities levels, as well as information on activities being undertaken in this regard, are provided below where available. Visit the CBD webpage on Local Authorities and Biodiversity by clicking here.
