On Monday, 8 June, plenary met briefly in the morning, afternoon and evening to hear reports from contact and informal groups, and to adopt a revised resolution on the conservation of Mediterranean Basin island wetlands. Delegates also saw videos on wetland management experiences from Senegal and Bolivia, and on the United Arab Emirates as the host country for COP13.

Several informal negotiations continued throughout the day, including on: the strategic plan, peatlands, wetland city accreditation, disaster risk reduction, the proposed new framework for the delivery of scientific and technical advice and guidance under the Convention, and evaluating and ensuring Ramsar Sites' effective management. All informal negotiations concluded in the evening, with delegates agreeing to anticipate the start of Tuesday's plenary at 9:00 am.
