15th SESSION OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF lUCN AND 15th lUCN TECHNICAL MEETING Christchurch, New Zealand 11-23 October 1981 PROCEEDINGS International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources Gland, Switzerland 1983 15TH SESSION OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF IUCN AND 15TH IUCN TECHNICAL MEETING Christchurch, New Zealand 11 - 23 October 1981 PROCEEDINGS International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources Gland, Switzerland 1983 International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources 1983 Prepared for publication with the assistance of the Government of New Zealand ISBN 2-88032-064-X 3 FOREWORD The General Assembly, composed of the delegates of the members of IUCN, is the principal policy-forming organ of the union. The General Assembly meets in ordinary session every three years in order to perform the functions conferred on it by the Statutes. Since the inaugural meeting at Fontainebleau in 1948, the General Assembly has met in Brussels, Belgium (1950); Caracas, Venezuela (1952)> Copenhagen, Denmark (1954); Edinburgh, Scotland (1956)> Athens, Greece (1958); Warsaw, Poland (1960); Nairobi, Kenya (1963); Lucerne, Switzerland (1966); New Delhi, India (1969); Banff, Canada (1972)> Kinshasa, Zaire (1975); and Ashkhabad, USSR (1978). The Assembly met in extraordinary session in Geneva, Switzerland, in April 1977. The 15th Session of the General Assembly, held in conjunction with the 15th Technical Meeting of IUCN, took place in Christchurch, New Zealand, from 11-23 October 1981. Since the 14th Session of the General Assembly, the World Conservation Strategy had been successfully launched, with the cooperation of the United Nations Environment Programme and the World Wildlife Fund, at simultaneous ceremonies in 34 capital cities and centres throughout the world; and the planning of IUCN's Programme had been systematically reorganized to direct it at implementation of the Strategy. The main issues for consideration by the Assembly and the Technical Meeting, encapsulated by the theme "Conservation and Society; The World Conservation Strategy in Action", concerned evaluation of general progress in implementing the World Conservation Strategy and examination of the draft IUCN Conservation Programme for Sustainable Development for 1982-1984 to ensure its maximum effect in implementing those provisions of the Strategy appropriate to IUCN. These proceedings constitute a working document rather than a comprehensive historical record of the General Assembly and Technical Meeting. Although points made in debate are usually expressed anonymously, the rapporteurs' accounts have been filed for use by the Secretariat. Copies of papers submitted to the General Assembly and Technical Meeting for consideration can be obtained on request from the Secretariat. A French version of these proceedings is available. 5 CONTENTS Page MINUTES General Assembly Procedural items Opening of the 15th Session 9 Adoption of the Agenda 9 Greetings from International Organizations 9 Announcement of new State Members 10 Appointment of Credentials Committee 10 Appointment of Resolutions Committee 10 Amendment to Rule of Procedure 11 Reports Report on the Work of the Union 11 Report on the Implementation by Members of Resolutions of the 14th Session 12 Report on Status of the World Conservation Strategy 12 Reports of Commission Chairmen 12 Reports on Intercommissional Cooperation 14 Reports of Election Officer 15 Reports of Credentials Committee 16 Report on Membership 17 Presentation of Draft IUCN Programme 1982-84 15 Financial items Accounts and Auditors' Reports 1978-80 17 Appointment of Auditors 17 Estimates of Income and Expenditure 1982-84 18 Proposed increase in Membership Dues 18 Elections 19 Election results 20 Approval of IUCN Programme and Budget 1982-84 21 Adoption of Resolutions and Recommendations 22 Honorary Membership 25 Presentation of John C.

    2010 Calls for New Biodiversity Targets

    s Report ´ Chairmen The Trondheim/UN Conference ”Getting the biodiversity targets right - working for sustainable development”. Trondheim - Norway, Feb 1-5, 2010. Introduction The five Trondheim Conferences on Biodiversity held since 1993 have provided an opportunity for policy makers, managers and scientists to come together and discuss key issues under the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Furthermore, the conferences help build important bridges between science and policy, and they provide both insights and inspiration for participants. The sixth Trondheim Conference on Biodiversity was held in Trondheim, Norway, from 1 to 5 February 2010, and focused on “Getting the biodiversity targets right – working for sustainable development”. The Conference was hosted by the Government of Norway in collaboration with the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) and the Secretariat for the Convention on Biological Diversity (SCBD), and was organised by the Norwegian Directorate for Nature Management (DN). This time the Trondheim Conference on Biodiversity considered status and lessons learned from the current 2010 target and focused on future targets beyond 2010. Many argue that the targets should be ‘SMART’, i.e. specific, measurable, ambitious, realistic and time-bound. They need to show that biodiversity is critical for environmental as well as economic and social aspects of sustainable development, and these aspects were highlighted and discussed during the Conference. The Conference will provide important input to relevant meetings under the CBD, in particular the meetings of its advisory body (SBSTTA) and its group for review of implementation (WGRI), both to be held in Nairobi in May 2010. These meetings will again contribute to the Special Session on biological diversity in the United Nations General Assembly in September 2010 and to the tenth Conference of the Parties to the CBD in Nagoya, Japan, in October 2010.
