Date and Time
20 October 2010 13:15 - 14:45

Meeting
Tenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP 10)

The Global Biodiversity Outlook-3 represents the scientific basis for the elaboration of the new strategic plan of the CBD and anticipates the types of assessments that the IPBES (International Science-Policy Panel on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services) might undertake. This side event will: - present key messages drawn from the GBO-3 on current trends in biodiversity indicators and on predictions of future changes in biodiversity based on an analysis of a broad range of published models, experiments and observations. - look beyond 2010, and present views of leading scientists on what they see as key priorities for science, in particular on scenarios and models, and policy in order to implement the new strategic plan of the CBD. This side event is co-organised by the Secretariat of the CBD (S-CBD), DIVERSITAS, and UNEP-WCMC
