IHDP, DIVERSITAS and SCBD

Date and Time
15 October 2013 13:15 - 14:45

Meeting
Seventeenth meeting of the Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice

The side event intends to present the key messages and recommendations from the CBD commissioned paper: Managing Biodiversity is about people and the Inclusive Wealth Report 2012. The main objective will be to highlight how the IWR can facilitate change in the way people perceive biodiversity and ecosystem services. The notion of just information will not change people's attitudes and decisions on biodiversity is the starting point of our discussion. The way to make the IWR a useful tool for the CBD in attaining its Aichi Targets and monitoring success will be explored. The side event intends to highlight the main weakness of the existing methods and approaches of making biodiversity and ecosystem services an integral part of an individual's well-being and where support from the CBD will enhance economic and social policymaking for a transition to sustainability.
