Santa Clara Conference Centre Stockholm, Sweden 18–20 May 2009 The European Regional workshop on Article 6 of the Convention was organized in response to a request by the Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI), at its twenty-seventh session (Bali, December 2007), where it was recognized that the five-year New Delhi work programme has proved to be a good framework for action, and the Conference of Parties (COP), at its thirteenth session (Bali, December 2007) adopted the amended New Delhi work programme for a further five years (decision 9/CP.13). The secretariat was mandated to organize thematic regional and sub-regional workshops to share lessons learned and best practices. The workshop will contribute to the review of the work programme which will be undertaken in 2012, with an intermediate review of progress in 2010, to evaluate its effectiveness and identify emerging gaps and opportunities of the European region in fulfilling their commitments under Article 6 of the Convention.
