CoP-11 on Biodiversity An Opportunity to Go beyond Business as Usual The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)1 is an international treaty with three main objectives – conservation of biological diversity; sustainable use of its components; and fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from genetic resources. The convention was tabled at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), also known as the Earth Summit, in Rio de Janeiro on 5 June 1992 and came into force on 29 December 1993. Its primary objective is to develop national strategies for the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity. It is also seen as a key document on sustainable development. The convention recognises, under international law, that conservation of biological diversity is a common concern and is integral for the sociocultural and economic development of humanity. The agreement covers all ecosystems, species, and genetic resources. It links traditional conservation efforts to the economic goal of using biological resources sustainably. It sets principles for the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the use of genetic resources, notably those destined for commercial use. It also covers the rapidly expanding field of biotechnology through its Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety, addressing technology development and transfer, benefit-sharing and biosafety issues. Countries that join the convention are obliged to implement its provisions and it reminds decision-makers that biological resources are finite and sets out a philosophy of sustainable use. The CBD currently has 193 nations as signatories, known as Parties, to combat the decline of biological diversity throughout the globe

Počela međunarodna konferencija o zaštiti okoliša i spašavanju ugroženih vrsta Predstavnici 193 zemlje potpisnice, gospodarstvenici i predstavnici nevladinih organizacija okupili su se na 10. konferenciji potpisnica CBD-a Međunarodna konferencija o bioraznolikosti počela je u ponedjeljak u japanskome gradu Nagoyi kako bi se zadali strateški ciljevi kojima će se smanjiti izumiranje vrsta i uništenje okoliša. Predstavnici 193 zemlje potpisnice, gospodarstvenici i predstavnici nevladinih organizacija okupili su se na 10. konferenciji potpisnica Konvencije o biološkoj raznolikosti (CBD). Tijekom dvotjednog sastanka potpisnice CBD-a će raspravljati i o dobrobitima koje proizlaze iz korištenja genetskih izvora. No razvijene zemlje i zemlje u razvoju podijeljene su u pogledu nekih od glavnih pitanja, zbog čega bi se razgovori mogli otegnuti kao i u slučaju pregovora o klimi. CBD je izrasla iz Summita o Zemlji koji je 1992. održan u Rio de Janeiru, kao i Konvencija UN-a o klimatskim promjenama. CBD ima tri glavna cilja: očuvanje biološke raznolikosti, održivo korištenje komponenata biološke raznolikosti i ravnopravnu raspodjelu dobrobiti od korištenja genetskih izvora. Godine 2002. potpisnice Konvencije obvezale su se da će do 2010. znatno umanjiti stopu gubitka bioraznolikosti kako bi se smanjilo siromaštvo i dobrobit za život na Zemlji, ali nisu uspjele ostvariti te ciljeve.
