NO This document presents the outcomes of the Second Intergovernmental Conference “Biodiversity in Europe,” held in Budapest in February 2002, which served as a regional preparatory meeting for the sixth Conference of the Parties (COP-6) to the Convention on Biological Diversity. It outlines the conclusions and recommendations from high-level discussions among 44 European and Central Asian countries, intergovernmental bodies, NGOs, and scientific institutions. Key agenda items included forest biological diversity, invasive alien species, financial mechanisms for biodiversity, indicators and monitoring tools, and the Strategic Plan for the CBD. The document details region-specific priorities, such as advancing the Pan-European Biological and Landscape Diversity Strategy (PEBLDS), enhancing cooperation with the Ministerial Conference on the Protection of Forests in Europe (MCPFE), and integrating biodiversity into sectoral policies.
