INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON
“Global Biodiversity, Climate Change and Sustainable Development”
(ICBCS-2016)
Date: 15th-18th October, 2016
Conference Venue: Rajiv Gandhi University, Rono Hills, Doimukh,
Itanagar-791112, Arunachal Pradesh, INDIA
BACKGROUND OF ICBCS 2016
Impending threats which the humanity are facing in 21ST Century is critical which is unlikely to be reversed if
sustainable developmental practices are not put in place. Most vital among the natural resources of our blue
planet is the Biodiversity Wealth. But current UN reports (2010, 2014) revealed that all is not well. There are
global objectives and mandates on biodiversity, climate change and sustainable developments which the member
nations still need to build up capacity for effective implementation at national and regional level. Among the
significant global mandates, Convention on Biological Diversity (1992) and its supplementary agreements such
as World Summits on Sustainable Development (Rio+10 Summit) at Johanesburg-2002; Nagoya Protocol (2010)
on Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) and the Aichi Targets (2010) are among the path breaking global
agreements periodically reviewed in every meeting of Conference of Parties to CBD to which each of the member
nations need to implements in both letter and spirit if current rate of biodiversity loss has to be reversed. The
Aichi Biodiversity Targets 2020 is ten-year framework for action by all countries and stakeholders to save
biodiversity and enhance its benefits for people. UN Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change (2014) has
observed changes and causes in Global Climate which calls for urgent mitigation measures.Consensus action
plan is urgently required at regional and global level tocounter climate change impact on biodiversity, ecosystem
and livelihood sectors. As per CBD report (2014), global forest and biodiversity losses are increasing in alarming
rate while there is a drastic lacking in basic taxonomic research and information system on many unknown
biological taxa which need to be strengthened further. There is an urgent need for effective south-south and
north-south cooperation for intensification of systematic biological research on different life forms which are yet
to be catalogued in scientific literatures. Biodiversity baseline studies is expected to help in developing tools for
effective conservation and sustainable utilization of those species living in some of the most critical ecosystem of
earth. The State of Arunachal Pradesh, the proud East Himalayan Indian State being the top 12 Global
Biodiversity Hotspots suitably deserves to host the upcoming mega event at Rajiv Gandhi University, Rono Hills,
Doimukh-791112, Itanagar, wherein the researchers and global think tank working in the area of Biodiversity,
Climate Change and Sustainable Development are cordially invited to present their papers in technical session
and to take active participation in side events.
AIMS OF CONFERENCE

ABOUT ICBCS-2016 HOST STATE: ARUNACHAL PRADESH
Arunachal Pradesh with 83,743.00 sq.km land area with population density of 17 persons per sq. km
is really a curious territory on the planet Earth. It is 24th State of Republic of India and has diverse
climate and landscapes ranging from tropical foot hill rainforest to snow-clad alpine peaks. The
thunderous Himalayan Peak so little known to majority of humanity of this planet is awesome and
breathtaking. The jungle is so diverse teeming with different life forms some of which the scientists
are yet to catalogue. It is a veritable treasure house of nature which attracts every visitor and known
to be abode of primitive, rare and endemic life forms on the planet Earth. Around 500 major rivers
and rivulets mysteriously originating from the snow peak, lofty hills and mountain slopes of
Arunachal Himalaya finally fused with the Mighty Brahmaputra river in Assam Valley is known to
be the water tower of the world. Ethno-cultural diversity, hospitality of the colourful local tribes is
amazing which enchants every visitor which is why the Arunachal Pradesh is known as Shangri-La
which means a mystical harmonious valley. The region has got the rare ranking of top 4 regions in the
World by the Lonely Planet’s Magazine and one among the top 12th Global Biodiversity Hotspots by
IUCN (2000) which must be really surprising, enchanting and satisfying for those concerned for the
nature and for those who seek ultimate solace amidst diversity. This Eastern Himalayan State of India
is famed for having 36 major forest types, estimated 10,000 species of lower and higher plants, 600
species of Orchids, magnificent endemic mammals, curious fresh water fishes, camouflaging reptiles,
colourful endemic birds, highly competitive non-catalogued insects, loving and hateful microbes and
fearsome amphibian belonging to diverse families found in diverse ecological region. The State has
the distinction of having to receive the highest forest coverage and conservation award from GOI.
The 26 major tribes and 110 sub-tribes living in close association with nature in this “Lost Horizon” or
Land of Dawn-lit Mountain is the real custodian of the nature’s wealth delicately treasured in
different life forms since time immemorial. For a tourist and a researcher, the options are diverse,
each more tempting than the others and even more confusing for those visiting the region for first
time as a researcher. The capital city of Arunachal Pradesh is Itanagar which is located at an altitude
of 200-700 msl. Rajiv Gandhi University is just located at picturesque Rono Hills, which is 20 km drive
from Itanagar and 10 km drive from Naharlagun Railway Station.
