It discussed a stakeholder outreach strategy for the 2005 Convention and finalized its report on activities to be presented to the seventh session of the Conference of Parties.
A new series of public talks entitled Create|2030 was launched in the framework of the Committee in order to align its debates with the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development Goals. This year four Create|2030 Talks were organized:
