Dear Partners and Observers,
Many thanks to all of you who were able to attend the GBEP Annual Meetings online last week, especially to the co-chairs of the technical groups and the Steering Committee, as well as all presenters. The meeting included interesting presentations on the work done by GBEP and external partners in 2021 (available on the GBEP website for the WGCB<http://www.globalbioenergy.org/events1/gbep-events-2021/working-group-on-capacity-building-meetings-and-activities-2021/en/>, TFS<http://www.globalbioenergy.org/events1/gbep-events-2021/task-force-on-sustainability-meetings-2021/en/> and SC<http://www.globalbioenergy.org/events1/gbep-events-2021/steering-commitee-meetings-2021/en/>), as well as lively discussions on the activities to be carried out in 2022.
Please find attached the co-chair conclusions from the 13th Working Group on Capacity Building and 19th Task Force on Sustainability meetings, along with the co-chair summary of the 24th Steering Committee meeting (also available on the GBEP website: WGCB<http://www.globalbioenergy.org/fileadmin/user_upload/gbep/docs/2021_events/13_WGCB/Co-chair_conclusions_13th_WGCB_2021.pdf>, TFS<http://www.globalbioenergy.org/fileadmin/user_upload/gbep/docs/2021_events/13_WGCB/Co-chair_conclusions_19th_TFS_2021.pdf> and SC<http://www.globalbioenergy.org/fileadmin/user_upload/gbep/docs/2021_events/13_WGCB/Co-chair_summary_24th_SC_2021.pdf>).
