International conferences by
various major groups

Biological diversity presents various challenges and issues requiring not only the sincere commitment of local governments, but also the ideas provided by initiatives created by children and young people. With this in mind, we will hold the City Biodiversity Summit 2010 together with COP 10 in order to discuss the challenges facing local governments in different parts of the world and the plans they have put into action. Support will also be given to conferences at which children and young people from around the world can become engaged in this issue. These meetings will highlight the notable efforts taken within this region to spread information worldwide.
