Meeting
Fifth meeting of the Ad Hoc Open-ended Working Group on Review of Implementation of the Convention

The Second Dialogue Seminar on Scaling up Financing for Biodiversity took place from 9-12 April 2014 in Quito, Ecuador. The conveners were the Governments of Ecuador, Norway, India, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Sweden, Uganda, the European Commission and the CBD Secretariat. Nearly 90 participants attended the dialogue from regions and different stakeholder groups. The intention with the dialogue seminar were to, through dialogue, contribute in building trust and mutual understanding of different views and perspectives on values of biodiversity, review ways and means to mainstream/integrate different kinds of values of biodiversity in national decision-making and other multilateral processes, and seek enhanced understanding of various operationalizing mechanisms for mobilizing financial and non-financial resources, including principles and safeguards for their implementation. Outcomes of the seminar will be presented at the side-event. The High-Level Panel on Global Assessment of Resources for Implementing the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 is identifying the benefits of meeting the Aichi Biodiversity Targets through examining both the positive impacts on biodiversity directly and the wider benefits to society that result from the investments and policy developments required, and the initial findings will be under consideration by WGRI-5.
