Late Breaking News from The Biodiversity Convention's COP-3

Updated 4 November 1996

The Gold Center, the COP-3 venue in Buenos Aires's Parque Norte
Delegates began arriving and registering Sunday at the Parque Norte in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the site for the Third Conference of Parties to the Biodiversity Convention (COP-3). No formal negotiations were held, as the meeting is scheduled to open Monday morning. The opening COP-3 issue of the Earth Negotiations Bulletin summarizes discussions and decisions from previous meetings under the Convention, while delegates and observers wonder in the corridors about the implications of the ambitious agenda they set for themselves at last year's COP. You can also download the opening Earth Negotiations Bulletin in either text or PDF format.
