  1. Linkages between Biodiversity Conservation, Climate Change and Poverty Alleviation Hanoi, 22. May 2007 Prof. Dr. Manfred Niekisch University of Greifswald

  2. BIO FUEL ?

  3. FAO 2004: 7 of the 10 economically most important marine fish species (30% of gobal catch) are fully exploited or overexploited.

  4. Resources are exhausted

  5. Subsidizing the Great Depletion US$30 billion annual subsidy (1995-2005) High Seas Bottom Trawling (annually): $600m Landed catch value $152m Subsidy (25% of landed value) $ 60m Profit (10% of landed value) Are we mad?!?

  6. Sustainable Development Social Economic Environmental

  7. Economic Cultural Social Economic Cultural Social Biodiversity and Climate Sustainable Development

  8. Why does biodiversity matter? • Food • Ecosystem Services (air, water, recreation) • Creating domestic species • Agriculture (agro-biodiversity) • Spiritual Reasons, Religions • Medicine • Cosmetics • Intrinsic Values • Basis of Life on Earth • and and and………

  9. How do we get there? • Economic assessment of the loss of biodiversity („Para-Stern-Report“) • Analysis/multiplication of success stories • Communication campaigns • Technology Transfer North-South • Knowledge Transfer South-North • „Better“ science • Development cooperation: focus on resource oriented (long term) projects
