… THE PATH AHEAD…. • Finalisation of the EU post 2010 Biodiversity Strategy • Work to start on: • Ratification of the ABS protocol • Preparation of the Resource Mobilisation Strategy (EU / Member States) • Impact on the Budget Review process • Preparation of the NBSAP´s • Upcoming Challanges • Climate COP • Rio +20 / 2012
