Delegates
to the tenth meeting of the Subsidiary Body on Scientific,
Technical and Technological Advice (SBSTTA-10) of the
Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) convened in
Plenary throughout the day. In the morning, a brief
opening ceremony was held and one minute of silence
observed in memory of the victims of the December 2004
tsunami. Plenary then heard opening statements, addressed
organizational matters, and considered progress reports on
the implementation of programmes of work. In
the afternoon, delegates reviewed the SBSTTA’s
Operational Plan and a synthesis report on the draft
reports of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment. Randy
Thalman, University of the South Pacific, delivered a
keynote presentation on island biodiversity, SBSTTA-10’s
main topic for discussion.
