註釋The Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), at its tenth meeting, recognized this gap and requested the Executive Secretary to publish, in collaboration with the Secretariat of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), a CBD Technical Series report on the value of dry and sub-humid lands, taking into account the role of pastoralists and oth [...] In response to this request, the present report was developed under the supervision of the Global Mechanism of the UNCCD, in collaboration with the OSLO consortium and the CBD Secretariat. [...] In 2000, the Conference of the Parties to the CBD established a programme of work on the biological diversity of dryland, Mediterranean, arid, semi-arid, grassland, and savannah ecosystems, noting that this could also be known as the programme on "dry and sub-humid lands" and bearing in mind the close linkages between poverty and loss of biological diversity in these areas (decision V/23). [...] In 2008, the Conference of the Parties adopted a delineation of the areas that the programme of work on dry and sub-humid lands under the CBD should include (annex to decision IX/17), and in 2010, in decision X/35, it adopted a revised delineation (annex to document UNEP/CBD/ COP/10/20). [...] The report was initially built from the authors' review of the subject matter, methods and results of close to 100 studies directly relevant to biodiversity valuation in dry and sub-humid lands contexts23 and The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) series.
