Global Biodiversity Forum will be held at this year’s meeting of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in Curitiba, Brazil from 24-25 March 2006.
This multi-stakeholder dialogue, initiated by the Union will focus on means how to significantly reduce the loss of biodiversity by 2010. This global target – known as the 2010 biodiversity target – originates from decisions of the CBD and the World Summit on Sustainable Development four years ago.
The pan-European alliance Countdown 2010, led by the Union, is coordinating the preparation of the 2010 Biodiversity Forum. “This Forum provides an ideal vehicle to share success stories around the 2010 biodiversity target and to move toward implementation,” said Sebastian Winkler, Head of Countdown 2010.
Four main themes have been identified for the 2010 Biodiversity Forum - raising finance, measuring progress, national and regional implementation and linking biodiversity to the Millennium Development Goals – which are seen as the four most crucial challenges to achieving the 2010 biodiversity target.
