Keynote 2, Regional – State of OECMS in Europe. Reporting and identifying in Europe

This keynote begins by examining the status of Other Effective Area-Based Conservation Measures (OECMs) in Europe relative to other regions worldwide. It then provides an overview of the European reporting framework for OECMs, highlighting the importance of accurate reporting in achieving global conservation objectives. The discussion emphasizes how effective reporting not only aids in reaching these goals but also plays a crucial role in contributing to the Protected Planet database. By understanding the European context and frameworks, stakeholders can better align their efforts with international conservation targets.
