This workshop will present the contribution of the UNCTAD BioTrade Initiative and its National BioTrade Programmes to implement the CBD through incentives for small and medium biodiversity business. It will present how the BioTrade Initiative and its partners use trade-related incentives measures to promote sustainable use of biodiversity by small businesses.
