On Thursday, SBSTTA 12 participants convened in the Committee of the Whole in the morning to continue consideration of the draft recommendations on the in-depth review of the application of the ecosystem approach (EA) and biofuels. In the afternoon, Working Group I (WG-I) addressed draft recommendations on the review of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA) and the Global Biodiversity Outlook (GBO). WG-II considered biodiversity and climate change, and dry and sub-humid lands, in afternoon and evening sessions.

Below, Chair of WG-II Annemarie Watt, Australia, is surrounded by delegates seeking advice on how to proceed with discussions on biodiversity and climate change.
