IBD 2009 Activities in Canada
|
ENGO Input for the 4th National Report for the Convention on Biological Diversity As a Party to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), Canada must report every four years on implementation of the Convention. Given that Canada’s 4th National Report will reflect the contributions of all relevant sectors of society, Environment Canada has requested the RCEN to conduct a survey to solicit ENGO views with respect to progress, challenges, lessons learned and biodiversity priorities in the post 2010 period.
The summary of the survey results will feed into the 4th National CBD Report and will be presented and discussed at a multi-stakeholder meeting in Ottawa in March 2009.
The survey summary will also be posted on the RCEN website. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Any questions or comments pertaining to the survey should be directed to: Monique Lefebvre, National CBD Working Group Coordinator, (613) 728-9810, ext 235.

In April 2002, the Parties to the Convention committed themselves to achieve, by 2010, a significant reduction of the current rate of biodiversity loss at the global, regional and national level as a contribution to poverty alleviation and to the benefit of all life on Earth.
