Both processes started their activity in 2019, and are now in their full stride, continuing their work in parallel in 2020. Through a moderated discussion, the Chairs will provide the audience with an update on both processes, discussing synergies, opportunities and reflections on the consultations with regional organizations and other stakeholders.
