The workshop on synergies and cooperation with
other conventions opened on Wednesday, 2 July, in Espoo, Finland. On the
first day of the SBI portion of the workshop, which addresses possible
synergies and joint action with other Multilateral Environmental
Agreements (MEAs), representatives of international organizations,
including the United Nations Development Programme, Global Environment
Facility, United Nations University, the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands and
the World Health Organization, spoke on different approaches to addressing
synergies among MEAs. Two panel discussions on the perspectives of the
Convention on Biological Diversity and on the Convention to Combat
Desertification were held. Participants discussed the links between the
three Rio conventions, the nature and importance of synergies, and the
challenges in realizing them at the global, national and local levels.
