Biodiversity and Food unit takes forward CSE’s rich body of work on biodiversity. The team works on biodiversity policy and key issues of biodiversity conservation. We follow both national and international developments on the subject.

CSE has followed developments on the Convention on Biological Diversity since it was put in place in 1992 at the Earth Summit in Rio. The Convention supports conservation of biodiversity, its sustainable use and ensuring that benefits from the use of biodiversity are shared with the communities that have protected it for generations.
