Running in parallel with side events at COP10, the Rio Conventions’ Ecosystems and Climate Change Pavilion will bring together lectures, displays, and many other activities around a number of thematic days. IUCN, through our World Commission on Protected Areas and the Programme on Protected Areas, is in charge of the Protected Areas day.

The IUCN’s Countdown 2010 initiative celebrates its partners’ achievements and launches a new initiative at the CBD COP 10 in Nagoya, Japan, on 20 October 2010 at 20:10 in the evening. The Countdown 2010 Biodiversity Award will be given to the best achievement for biodiversity among Countdown 2010 partners. 

Biodiversity is the world’s most elaborate scientific concept, but also, potentially, its greatest story. This side event on Communication, Education and Public Awareness (CEPA) provides expert insight into the challenges communicators face, the common pitfalls of biodiversity communication, and the practical solutions that will inspire public and political action.
