In other words we should be standardizing the process for the whole region, and for the benefit of the region.” -Belize Mesoamerican System of Environmental Information CT SIAM launched by Council of Ministers in 2003.

Implementation challenges are root of reporting challenges. Quantity of Conventions. National Commissions success -model for convention harmonization…. Capacity challenges -Individual, Institutional and Systematic. Non party actions present both opportunities and threats. Competition for funding from non Parties.
