DESCRIPTION:The Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity is ho
 sting\, from 2-18 October 2013 in Montreal\, three major United Nations me
 etings on biodiversity.  In conjunction with these meetings\, experts from
  Montreal and around the world will give a series of talks on the role bus
 iness\, science and traditional knowledge play in the implementation of th
 e Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020.    Business & Biodiversity (3
  October 2013\, Concordia University\, 19h-21:30\, MB10. 121 - John Molson
  School of Business)  Businesses are at the “sharp end” of ecological impa
 cts\, as they are directly or indirectly involved with extracting\, growin
 g or otherwise producing and processing items modern economies depend on. 
 Today\, a good track record in sustainable management and policy is crucia
 l for any business to maintain good standing with increasingly critical co
 nsumers and may also be a requirement for managing risk and creating oppor
 tunities.  Traditional Knowledge & Biodiversity (8 October 2013\, HEC Mont
 real\, 19h-22:00\, Amphithéâtre Lévis – Decelles Building)  Traditional Kn
 owledge refers to the knowledge\, innovations and practices of indigenous 
 and local communities developed from experience gained over the centuries 
 and adapted to the local culture and environment. Today\, there is a growi
 ng appreciation of the value of traditional practices as models for policy
  and practice related to conserving and sustainably using biodiversity.  S
 cience & Biodiversity (15 October 2013\, 91������\, 19h-21:30\, R
 edpath Museum)  Science shows that solutions can be found in healthy ecosy
 stems. It unveils innovative technologies such as biosynthetics and biotec
 hnology\, informs important concepts such as Access and Benefit-Sharing (A
 BS)\, and provides new perspectives on unresolved issues\, such as the eco
 system approach to eradicate Invasive Alien Species (IAS). Newly discovere
 d genetic resources hold the answers to humankind’s ailments and needs.
