CHM - ORTNational Target
General
Lao People's Democratic Republic
Target 20: By 2030, collaborations among related sectors at both national and international levels will have been enhanced and strengthened to conduct scientific research, innovation, and advanced technology transfer on sustainable natural resources management, environmental protection, and public health.
ENThe target is designed to improve capacity in Laos to collect data to monitor the NBSAP and to conduct the implementing work in a rigorous fashion through collaboration.
Promote collaboration among related sectors at both national and international levels to conduct scientific research, innovation, and advanced technology transfer.
Alignment
GBF-G-D. The biodiversity funding gap of 700 billion USD is progressively closed by ensuring adequate means of implementation are available.

GBF-T04. Threatened species are recovering, genetic diversity is being maintained and human-wildlife conflict is being managed GBF-T04. Threatened species are recovering, genetic diversity is being maintained and human-wildlife conflict is being managedEnsure urgent management actions to halt human induced extinction of known threatened species and for the recovery and conservation of species, in particular threatened species, to significantly reduce extinction risk, as well as to maintain and restore the genetic diversity within and between populations of native, wild and domesticated species to maintain their adaptive potential, including through in situ and ex situ conservation and sustainable management practices, and effectively manage human-wildlife interactions to minimize human-wildlife conflict for coexistence. | Medium |
GBF-T05. Use, harvesting and trade of wild species is sustainable, safe and legal GBF-T05. Use, harvesting and trade of wild species is sustainable, safe and legalEnsure that the use, harvesting and trade of wild species is sustainable, safe and legal, preventing overexploitation, minimizing impacts on non-target species and ecosystems, and reducing the risk of pathogen spill-over, applying the ecosystem approach, while respecting and protecting customary sustainable use by indigenous peoples and local communities. | High |
GBF-T20. Capacity-building and development, technology transfer, and technical and scientific cooperation for implementation is strengthened GBF-T20. Capacity-building and development, technology transfer, and technical and scientific cooperation for implementation is strengthenedStrengthen capacity-building and development, access to and transfer of technology, and promote development of and access to innovation and technical and scientific cooperation, including through South-South, North-South and triangular cooperation, to meet the needs for effective implementation, particularly in developing countries, fostering joint technology development and joint scientific research programmes for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and strengthening scientific research and monitoring capacities, commensurate with the ambition of the goals and targets of the framework. | High |
Access to financial resources
Biodiversity and health
Collective effort towards the targets
Cooperation and synergies
Formal and informal education
Fulfilment of the three objectives of the Convention and its Protocols, and their balanced implementation

The target reflects the need to improve management and understanding through capacity building.
Goal D includes capacity building which is required in Laos to implement the NBSAP.
The other targets are implicated owing to the need for capacity building to implement them.
