Fifteenth meeting of the Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice

The conversations on health and biodiversity linkages are expanding and new ideas and conversations are rapidly emerging internationally and regionally. The Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011 – 2020 and the 20 Aichi Biodiversity Targets is one possible platform for discussing health and biodiversity linkages and for promoting the use of health arguments in biodiversity programmes. This interactive “talk-show” side event will explore opinions on the scientific evidence, a range of policy options and examples of cross-sectoral implementation activities in support of biodiversity and health linkages. We want to hear your voice in the conversation too!
