The Ramsar Convention and culture: draft Strategic Action Plan 2012-2016

This draft has been produced in the framework of the Culture Working Group of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands. The concept of a “Strategic Action Plan” aims to encompass both the overall medium-term direction of work on culture under the Convention and the specific action steps which are intended to take this forward. Once this is agreed as a basic framework, the actions will be developed into more detailed separate work programmes for each of the years covered by the Plan. This will include more detail on priorities, costings, timeframes, progress milestones and specific deliverables; so for the time being these aspects are not addressed to any great extent in the present document. (Summary extracted from the article)The authors wish to seek the view of interested stakeholders so that the next version can benefit from a range of inputs.
