Land Day 2 - Panel 1 - Youba Sokona

Introducing the session, Dr Youba Sokona, Co-Chair of IPCC, Working Group III and Former Executive Secretary of the Observatoire Sahara et Sahel, said there is considerable potential for synergy among the three sister Rio Conventions, and urged that initiatives aimed at synergy capture ecological, physical and sociological linkages. He said it was puzzling that synergy remained evasive even in instances where the focal points for the three Conventions were located in the same ministry or even held by the same individual. Dr Sokona invited participants to consider, under the Chatham rules, why synergy is not working, by examining three dimensions, namely, institutional dynamics, scientific issues and financial resources.
