Bioversity is at COP 10 -- the 10th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity – in Nagoya, Japan representing the Consortium of CGIAR [2]Centres, as it has at every COP since the original Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro [3], Brazil, in 1992.
For up to date information, Earth Negotiations Bulletin [4] is covering the main meeting and selected side events [5].
One of the primary goals at Nagoya will be to agree a Protocol on Access and Benefit Sharing [6] for the Convention on Biological Diversity. Bioversity experts, on behalf of the CGIAR Consortium, are assisting delegates to the Conference in the negotiations.
Bioversity has also produced a booklet –
Agriculture, agricultural biodiversity and sustainability (240 KB) [7] – based on an information note distributed to the CBD [8]’s Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice.
A series of factsheets provides participants and visitors at COP 10 with background information on some of the key topics related to conservation and agriculture.
