The Second Dialogue Seminar on Scaling up Financing for Biodiversity took place from 9-12 April 2014 in Quito, Ecuador. The conveners were the Governments of Ecuador, Norway, India, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Sweden, Uganda, the European Commission and the CBD Secretariat. Nearly 90 participants attended the dialogue from regions and different actor groups. The intention with the dialogue seminar were to, through dialogue, contribute in building trust and mutual understanding of different views and perspectives on values of biodiversity, review ways and means to mainstream/integrate different kinds of values of biodiversity in national decision-making and other multilateral processes, and seek enhanced understanding of various operationalizing mechanisms for mobilizing financial and non-financial resources, including safeguards for their implementation. Outcomes of the seminar will be presented at the side-event.
