| description | EHB platform webinar #4. No fewer than four UN fora – UNEP, FAO, WHO and the General Assembly– are currently hosting negotiations of new rules to increase benefit sharing from the use of digital sequence information (DSI). Of course, increasing the equitable redistribution of monetary and nonmonetary benefit is critically important. But there is a risk that if these new rules are not well coordinated, and if the boundaries between them are not clear, they will create confusion and insuperable transaction costs for stakeholders involved in the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity.
Some sectors and stakeholders will be more directly affected by some of these new agreements than others. Researchers in the agricultural sector, and stakeholders involved in the conservation of agrobiodiversity, will most likely be governed, at different stages of their activities, by a combination of i) the Multilateral Mechanism for benefit sharing (MLM) being negotiated as part of the Convention on Biological Diversity’s (CBD) Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework under UNEP and ii) the revised Multilateral System of Access and Benefit-sharing (MLS) under the FAO’s International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (Plant Treaty).
This webinar will examine the current state of negotiations of both of these agreements and consider options for how they can be implemented in mutually supportive ways, so that they work together to provide policy support (and not policy hurdles) for stakeholders who are actively engaged in managing, conserving, and using agricultural biodiversity.
This Webinar is organized by the CGIAR’s Environmental Health and Biodiversity (EH&B) Impact Platform and the CGIAR Genebank Initiative. It brings together Co-chairs of CBD and Plant Treaty negotiations along with representatives of key stakeholders in the agriculture sector including seed companies, farmer and civil society organizations and public researchers.
With its focus on mutual supportive implementation, the webinar is designed to contribute to both the final stages of the negotiations of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework’s MLM, (which should be finalized by the 16th Meeting of the Conference of the Parties of the Convention on Biological Diversity next month) and the renegotiations of the Plant Treaty’s MLS, which should be wrapped up by October 2025. |
