Responses
SCBD reports (2011): The support of the UNPFII including partnerships on matters of mutual interest is highly appreciated by the SCBD. The international year was so successful the General Assembly has decided on a Decade for Biodiversity to highlight its importance and to draw attention to the newly established 2020 Targets. A report of the Decade for Biological Diversity will be provided to the next session of the UNPFII.
