Date and Time

Meeting
Ninth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP 9)

This event will launch two new tools developed by the Quebec Government, and its collaborators, to help countries to implement policies on ABS at national level, especially in developing countries. These attractive colour tools, in English and French, are intended to be used by ABS focal points and other users to sensitize administrative superiors and different stakeholders to the importance of genetic resources and ABS. A CD containing these tools, and two others, will be available there.
