The sixth Trondheim Conference on Biodiversity was held February 1-5, 2010, and has considered status and lessons learned from the 2010 target and will provide CBD with a sound basis for developing post 2010 biodiversity targets. New targets will be set under CBD and the United Nations in the second half of 2010.
The conference was hosted by the Norwegian Ministry of the Environment in collaboration with the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) and the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity (SCBD). The organizer of the conference was the Norwegian Directorate for Nature Management.
