來自世界13個國家的生物多樣性科學家與政策專家19日警告「相當多數的物種與族群在本世紀將步向滅絕」,因此提議組成一個全球協調機制,以提供一個聯合又具權威的科學性諮議,並向政府通報全球性的決策。整個諮詢程序已開始作業,並且在接下來的18個月內成立一專責小組。
Biodiversity Experts to Create Global Intergovernmental Advisory Panel
Warning that "a large number of populations and species are likely to become extinct in the present century," biodiversity scientists and policy experts from 13 countries today proposed a global coordinating mechanism to provide a united, authoritative scientific voice to inform government decisionmaking internationally. A consultation process has begun that will shape such a panel within 18 months.
