The Sixth Trondheim Conference on Biodiversity was held from 1-5 February 2010, in Trondheim, Norway.
Participants discussed the status of, and lessons learned from, the 2010 target to reduce significantly the current rate of biodiversity loss, and challenges for setting post-2010 targets. Other issues addressed included the economics of biodiversity and ecosystem services, and mainstreaming biodiversity and ecosystem services into societal decisions. The Conference produced a Chair’s Report, which will be forwarded as an information document to the upcoming 14th meeting of the Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice (SBSTTA) of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the third meeting of the CBD Working Group on Review of Implementation, to be held in May 2010, in Nairobi, Kenya. The Report outlines 12 messages, including on biodiversity loss and human well-being, biodiversity targets, and the need for implementation, communication, resources, and science and knowledge.
