The Permanent Forum welcomes the “International Conference on Biological and Cultural Diversity: Diversity for Development and Development for Diversity” (8-10 June 2010, Montreal, Canada) as a useful dialogue on the interface of diversities and development and notes its goal to consider a future collaborative programme of work between the Secretariat of the Conference on Biological Diversity, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), other relevant agencies, including the Forum and relevant indigenous organizations and non-governmental organizations, and decides to send the Chair of the Forum to report on the outcomes of the ninth session of the Permanent Forum regarding the theme.
Responses
The “International Conference on Biological and Cultural Diversity: Diversity for Development and Development for Diversity” produced a report and recommendations which were considered by the tenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties in October 2010. The resulting joint programme of work between SCBD and UNESCO appears in annex I for easy reference. Indigenous and local communities are key partners in the implementation of the joint programme of work.
