The Permanent Forum welcomes the initiative of the secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization to host the International Conference on Biological and Cultural Diversity: Diversity for Development (8-10 June 2010, Montreal, Canada) to develop a joint programme of work on biological and cultural diversity, and requests that future work include broad partnerships with the Permanent Forum, other relevant agencies, indigenous peoples’ organizations and non-governmental organizations
Responses
SCBD reports (2011): As reported earlier in this document, 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.
