June Rubis, Lucy Mulenkei, Jennifer Tauli-Corpuz, Jannie Lasimbang & Edmund Bon - The establishment of a permanent Subsidiary Body on Article 8(j) under the CBD marks an important development in the institutional participation of Indigenous Peoples and local communities. It also presents an opportunity to reflect on how Party leadership and constituency responsibility for representative selection can work together.
The implementation of the Global Biodiversity Framework will depend not only on progress on land, but also in the oceans. However, marine and coastal ecosystems continue to receive less attention than terrestrial ecosystems in the implementation of the Global Biodiversity Framework, a concern explicitly recognised in the draft decision under agenda item 18(c) on marine and coastal biodiversity and island biodiversity.
To explore these issues, Compassion in World Farming is convening the side event Feeding the Future While Protecting Ocean Biodiversity: Rethinking Carnivorous Aquaculture today, 22 October, 13:15-14:45, at the FPWC Pavilion. The discussion will explore the ecological importance of small pelagic fish and their role in marine biodiversity, marine food webs and food security, as well as the implications of aquaculture for Targets 9 and 10.
Vince Cinches & Shuang An (World Animal Protection) - Biodiversity policies often treat animals primarily as resources to manage, with too little attention to their welfare and the wider impacts of their use. At CBD COP17, governments can change this by making animal welfare and One Health part of biodiversity protection.

Nithin Ramakrishnan (Third World Network) - The Cali Fund is the financial arm of the CBD’s multilateral mechanism (MLM), established to address inequities in benefit-sharing from DSI. As per Decision 16/2, users contributing to the Cali Fund in accordance with the MLM modalities are deemed to have fairly and equitably shared monetary benefits from DSI used within the MLM’s scope for that year, and will receive a certificate exempting them from any expectation of
further monetary benefit-sharing for that year within that scope.
