中法环境和生物多样性研讨会
The fifteenth session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 15) to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) will be hosted by China and held in Kunming, China, in November 2020. As part of the preparations for this meeting, the COMIX (Commission Mixte Scientifique et Technique Franco-Chinoise), during its 14th session in February 2019, decided to organize a kick-off symposium on the theme of Biodiversity and Environment, to be held in Beijing on 4-5 November 2019.
This symposium will also reinforce the existing scientific collaborations between French and Chinese researchers and allow the identification of new emerging topics on the theme of Biodiversity and Environment.
The objective of the seminar is to take an overview of French-Chinese scientific cooperation in the field of the environment, to strengthen existing collaborations and the joint research structures concerned, and to identify new opportunities for cooperation.
The seminar will also give visibility and open new perspectives to French-Chinese scientific cooperation in the field of biodiversity, one year before the fifteenth session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 15) on biodiversity in China is to be held in Kunming in November 2020.
Finally, the seminar could be the closing event of the French-Chinese Environment Month (MFCE) organized by the French Embassy in China.
