Agricultural Biodiversity - Biofuels and Biodiversity: Consideration of Ways and Means to Promote the Positive and Minimize the Negative Impacts of the Production and Use of Biofuels on Biodiversity (Corrigendum 2)
This side event will explore the role that a green development mechanism could play in supporting post-2010 goals and targets and in adapting post-2010 indicators to market-based financing for biodiversity.
The world is aiming at food, wood and energy security with minimizing climate change and safeguarding biodiversity. However, these issues are mutually related; solving the one should be integrated with solving the other ones. In the side-event, quantitative options for biodiversity are related t ...
Over the last 30 years numerous practical techniques have been developed for the identification of sites of biodiversity conservation significance. These include global intergovernmental mechanisms, notably Wetlands of International Importance (Ramsar sites), World Heritage sites and Biosphere R ...
This side event focuses on how and why to value ecosystem services, the scope for innovative financial mechanisms to capture these values and relevance to the CBD. The WBCSD’s Ecosystem Valuation Initiative (EVI) in which IUCN is a key partner is guiding companies to introduce ecosystem valuatio ...
The review of the CBD Programme of Work on PAs highlights lack of progress in achieving targets on equity and benefit sharing (goal 2.1) and recommends increased emphasis on assessing and valuing costs and benefits of PAs. Also highlighted is the need to promote a better understanding of the r ...
The side event will highlight the achievements of the Conservation and Sustainable Management of Below-ground Biodiversity project. A GEF-funded project that is implemented through UNEP and being executed by CIAT-TSBF and that comes to a close in 2010. The side event will make a case of the impo ...
