About GBO-3
Evaluation
This evaluation of Global Biodiversity Oulook-3 was carried out in response to a request by the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity in October 2010 to review “the process of preparation and production of GBO-3 in order to further improve the process for future editions and to maintain comparability with earlier editions where necessary” (decision X/4). The methodology involved an extensive review of relevant sources of information, interviews with 26 stakeholders , including individuals involved in the preparation and use of GBO-3, as well as a survey sent out through the mailing list of the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity (hereinafter referred to as the Secretariat). The results of this evaluation will be presented at a meeting of the Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice (SBSTTA) before the 11th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP) to be held in October 2012 in India.
