Hi All
Should they also ask for a list of inactivities such as NOT doing a form
geoengineering which could have helped biodiversity. I am thinking
things such as not reducing sea surface temperatures to the east of the
Philippines.

CBD Secretariat Invites Parties’ Submissions on
Geo-Engineering-Related Measures
12 November 2013: The Secretariat of the Convention on Biological
Diversity (CBD) has invited parties to submit information on any
measures they have undertaken to ensure that no climate-related
geo-engineering activities that may affect biodiversity take place,
and to address the exception for small-scale scientific research
studies contained in CBD Decision X/33, subparagraph 8(w) on
geo-engineering.
Information on measures to ensure that no climate-related
geo-engineering activities that may affect biodiversity take place
until there is an adequate scientific basis to justify such activities
and appropriate consideration of the associated risks for the
environment and biodiversity and associated social, economic and
cultural impacts, as well as on measures that address the exception
for small-scale scientific research studies, is to be submitted by 15
February 2014.
The notification provides additional information related to agreed
language on geo-engineering in the contribution of Working Group I to
the Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change, as well as an amendment to the London Protocol of the London
Convention on the Prevention of Marine Pollution by Dumping of Wastes
and Other Matter, agreed on 18 October 2013.
The amendment is structured to allow other marine geo-engineering
activities to be considered and listed in a new annex in the future,
if they fall within the scope of the London Protocol and have the
potential to harm the marine environment. It will enter into force 60
days after two-thirds of the Parties to the London Protocol accept it.
