Dear Professor
Dear all

I thank you for the invitation and information about the �International Consultation on Ecotechnology and Sustainability Science-Biodiversity and Sustainable Development� to be held in Tirupati from Feb 29,2012 in S.V.Vedic University. Unfortunately I am not able to attend the Consultation.

As coordinator of the International University Network on Cultural and Biological Diversity (IUNCBD) allow me to extend our congratulations on your significant initiative supported by the the National Biodiversity Authority.

It is our privilege to have introduced the university initiative in India through four intensive missions in one year, promoted the establishment of the Network of Indian University on Cultural and Biological Diversity (NIUCBD) as well as motivated the establishment of the Indian Network on Cultural and Biological Diversity (INCBD) - both
directly linked to the IUNCBD International University Network.

I hope that my missions to several Indian universities and the participation in meetings and conferences - in particular in the Indian Science Congress - have contributed to stimulate the involvement of academic institutions, strengthen international relationships and visions, and share common actions aimed at protecting and promoting cultural and biological diversity through the development of an operative platform for education, research, capacity building, public awareness and policy interface.

Your extraordinary initiatives testify the effectiveness of the strategy developed by the IUNCBD International Network on the base of the MoU Cooperation signed by the Sapienza University of Rome and the United Nations Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).

It is a pleasure to mention again that the Indian experiences demonstrate the accurate and effective action in implementing objectives 4 and 5 of the CBD MoU Cooperation which are key-elements of the IUNCBD International Network:

4. Promote initiatives for the spread and implementation of the Programme of Work on CEPA aimed, inter alia, at designing and disseminating k-university curricula and focused educational/capacity building and scientific programmes, developing pilot projects and long terms activities, establishing and coordinating partnerships and networks among universities, centres of excellence in teaching, national and international institutions, local/indigenous communities and other stakeholders,

5. Provide educational institutions and stakeholders focused inputs and a forum of dialogue for raising awareness, collecting feedback and developing initiatives to address and better engage:

• the integration of education with capacity building in issues of relevance of the Convention,
• the establishment of a constructive dialogue between science, policy and society

In order to give operative contributions to your discussions we are also pleased to share again with the NIUCBD the objectives and strategy of the IUNCBD International Network that want to promote initiatives aimed at:

1. introducing a new paradigm of relationships between international conventions and universities, giving an operative contribution to the CBD Secretariat,
2. allowing universities to bridge the gap of communication and knowledge between the university system of studies and the International Organizations � among them the CBD, the gap between education and capacity building, the very limited role universities play in disseminating and linking the CBD policy agenda and programmes of work to the local context to which they belong,
3. allowing universities to play a fundamental role as local social drivers opened to society, local/indigenous communities, experts, policy makers,
4. offering a transdisciplinary scientific contribution through the internalization of the CBD and associated programmes of work (among others, UNEP, UNESCO and FAO ) in the academic system of studies,
5. disseminating and introducing the CBD policy agenda and programmes of work in the universities system of studies, bridging the gap between academic and institutional policy perspectives,
6. translating the CBD policy agenda and programmes of work in new contains for courses and academic programmes with the involvement of representatives of communities and experts,
7. institutionalizing these programmes in the academic system of studies,
8. offering a coordinated international platform of information, knowledge, research questions and research/teaching programmes in order to develop and reply transdisciplinary academic studies, initiatives and curricula linked to the ongoing CBD and related organizations policy agenda and programmes of work,
9. developing joint research/teaching/capacity building initiatives and events in order to strengthen local capacities, exchange and compare local experiences and case studies at international/national multi-scale level, achieve high standards of advanced studies, link universities to the local implementation of the CBD, provide tools to grow a critical mass of experts,
10. designing innovative curricula/ initiatives taking into account the local context.

I am thankful to Prof� Ramamurthi, Chairman of the NIUCBD for the extraordinary work carried out together with us.

Please do not hesitate to ask me for any contribution you need.

Sincerely

Pierluigi Bozzi
