In the beautiful city of Incheon, in the north-western part of South Korea, I participated in the opening of the Regional Capacity Building workshop, organized by the Secretariat of the UN Biodiversity Convention in the framework of the Bio-Bridge Initiative. The Bio-Bridge Initiative, generously supported by the Government of the Republic of Korea, focuses on facilitating technical and scientific cooperation among Parties to the UN Biodiversity Convention and its Protocols. Thank you to our hosts, South Korea's National Institute for Biological Resources (NIBR) for the warm hospitality, and to Jason Spensley from the Green Climate Fund for taking part in our event.
