With Decision 14 the COP1 established the Carpathian Network of Protected Areas (CNPA) and constituted a thematic network of mountain protected areas in the Carpathians. Its Steering Committee is composed of the Focal Points for the CNPA designated by each country of the Convention.
The work of the CNPA under the Carpathian Convention supports and develops necessary activities for the implementation of the Carpathian Convention and especially its Biodiversity Protocol.
The CNPA reports to the Carpathian Convention Implementation Committee through the Secretariat of the Convention.
