The International Union for the Conservation of Nature and the University of Aberdeen, Scotland, UK will attend the UN Intergovernmental Conference on Marine Genetic Resources of Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction in New York in 2019.
We are holding a lunchtime side event on March 28 "Mare Geneticum and an EcoSystem Approach: Power, Openness and Sharing" in Conference room 12 at 1.15-230pm
The event will build on previous side events and discussions in IGC1 regarding Mare Geneticum and the OPEN process developed by the PharmaSea project. We will have some short presentations and then we look forward to discussion. We will circulate details of speakers and some documents and podcasts prior to the IGC. We hope that this can lead to a useful dialogue and can inform contributions at the benefit sharing sessions on 25-7 March. Our side event will build on the momentum of these, and also inform later IGC2 sessions on management tools, environmental impact assessments, technology transfer and cross cutting issues. If you would like any colleagues to be involved, please do pass on the details.
