United Kingdom Steering Group Report on Biodiversity : Government Response

The UK Biodiversity Steering Group report, "Meeting the Rio Challenge", was published in December 1995.

Now the Government has officially responded to this report.

In their response the Government endorses the main proposals in the report as the basis of follow-up action by Country Groups and the UK Group.

They also provide a number of examples where new initiatives will help forward the report's proposals.

Finally, they invite "champions" from non-government sectors to join the Government and its agencies in this work.
