Rio Convention- a 'virtual' Pavilion

Overview and Programme - a 'virtual' Pavilion

Overview and Programme - a 'virtual' Pavilion
Owing to limited space and resources available within the conference venue, as well as the large demand to accommodate UNFCCC Parties and over 1300 admitted observer organisations, the Rio Conventions’ Ecosystems and Climate Change Pavilion will be a virtual Pavilion, bringing together a series of activities that make maximum use of the exhibition and side event facilities kindly put in place by the Government of Mexico.



Relevant activities of a number of Pavilion partners and other organisations will be promoted daily through a special section of the COP16/CMP 6 Daily Programme as well as on the Ecosystems Pavilion website.

Key elements of the Ecosystems Pavilion at Cancun include:

•The Pavilion website updated regularly, with links to the key messages from the Ecosystems Pavilion held at the CBD COP10 (18-28 October, 2010) in Japan.
•A Pavilion exhibit
•A number of side events on topics highlighting the linkages between biodiversity, climate change and sustainable land management. These side events would also be included in the COP16/CMP 6 Daily Programme.
