Nagoya has kicked off - plenary and various other events are progressing. As expected, key interest in Access and Benefit Sharing, with informal working groups looking at present at compliance, checkpoints and other issues. For detailed reporting of the COP and side events, look at the IISD reporting services or the CBD website for COP10.
Huge amount of background information on Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) in Africa on this Norway, Netherlands, French and German-funded site from the Fridtjof Nansen Insitute: worth browsing.
