Biodiversity policy: UNESCO executive board session 186

Body: 

The UNESCO executive board has agreed to develop an integrated approach to biodiversity across its various programmes: should be agreed in the autumn of 2011, but a short summary of the recent decision on the IISD website.  Interestingly, UNESCO also agreed to develop a statement of principles for climate change ethics - there are other initiatives on biodiversity and environmental ethics that will also be worth watching.  Previous attempts such as the Earth Charter have made some progress but not widespread acceptance in policy.
