Aim of the conference The aim of the conference will be to discuss at pan-European level ways in which the Contracting Parties to the CBD might implement the programme of work on protected areas, with a view to contributing to the achievement of the 2010 target to reduce biodiversity loss, in a context of climate change. To this end, the presentations on various initiatives to establish ecological networks and their core areas should help to assess the degree of implementation of the CBD programme of work on protected areas and to identify its strengths.
Dans ce but, la présentation des diverses initiatives qui concourrent à l’établissement de réseaux écologiques et de leur zones noyaux, à l’échelle géopolitique de notre continent, devrait permettre d’apprécier le niveau d’application du Programme de travail sur les aires protégées de la CDB et d’en identifier les points forts.
