Highlights for Wednesday, 30 November 2005 |
Participants
to the eleventh meeting of the Subsidiary Body on
Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice (SBSTTA-11)
of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) continued to meet in two
working groups (WGs)
throughout the day.
WG-I considered: invasive alien species (IAS); sustainable use; guidance
to promote synergy; and a draft recommendation on the
Global Taxonomy Initiative (GTI). WG-II
addressed: review of the implementation of the work
programmes; marine and coastal biodiversity; inland water
ecosystems; and two draft recommendations on refinement of
the framework of the goals and targets. The contact group
on goals and targets met briefly in the evening.
