The German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety hosted a workshop of eminent experts in the area of biodiversity on 13-15 December 2006 in Potsdam. The workshop was organized by Ecologic - Institute for International and European Environmental Policy. It was attended by 20 participants attending in their personal capacity and included former and active senior government officials from all regions of the world, as well as representatives from NGOs, the private sector, local and indigenous communities. The task of the group was to look “out of the box” and come up with visionary ideas for advancing the Convention beyond 2010.
