The 186th session of the Executive Board of UNESCO confirmed its call for the organization to develop a coherent Biodiversity Initiative encompassing all areas of competence and work of UNESCO – natural and social sciences, education, culture and communication. The Initiative will focus on the underlying drivers of biodiversity erosion and loss, and will encompass actions aimed at providing assistance to UNESCO member States underpinning the implementation of the UN system-wide Strategic Plan for Biodiversity.
The Initiative will be formally launched at the 36th session of the UNESCO's General Conference, scheduled to take place from 25 October-11 November.
Final decisions from the session will be posted here.
