The strategic goals set out in the draft National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) for Malta are translated into the following action-based and outcome-oriented measures, which are grouped into 18 thematic areas, and must be achieved by 2020.

Theme 16: Networking and information exchange (Code IE 1-3)

IE1: Existing national fora serve as a platform to maximise the involvement of relevant stakeholders in discussions on environmental issues, as well as to assist information flow to guide decision-making and to share expertise/experiences.

IE2: Inter-departmental information exchange and cooperation is enhanced by means of direct communication channels, designation of national focal points and inter-institutional cooperation agreements, setting up an integrated environmental website as well as the setting up inter-agency committees, where required. Such activities also result in the streamlining of responsibilities.

IE3: Bilateral and multilateral cooperation with other CBD parties and EU member states is continued to advance global and regional progress in biodiversity conservation.

Mepa published the draft National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) for Malta on 28th February 2012. The NBSAP aims to set Malta on the right track to meet its own biodiversity and other environmental objectives, as well as its international commitments, by 2020.
