6th Asian Co-benefits Partnership (ACP) 7th Advisory Group Meeting

The Asian Co-benefits Partnership (ACP) Advisory Group is convened once annually. The Advisory Group meeting has several important objectives as a primal discussion opportunity to guide the ACP; to set and review strategic priorities for the ACP, review the ACP work plan prepared by the Secretariat, recommend the working method, and to provide advice to the Secretariat on the ACP and its activities.

On 12 July 2016, the Seventh Advisory Group meeting of the Asian Co-benefits Partnership (ACP) was held at Pacifico Yokohama, Japan. About twenty members from government agencies, international organizations and research institutions joined the ACP meeting and discussed the following: ACP Work Plan 2016-2017, Third ACP White Paper, and extended contribution and collaboration.

The ACP Advisory Group then agreed to:

1) complete the Work Plan 2016-2017 and proceed with implementing its proposed actions;
2) define a theme and the process for drafting the Third ACP White Paper, and complete the White Paper by March 2018; and
3) keep close communication on forming concrete linkages among the ACP, CCAC and other relevant initiatives.
