Looking ahead to COP16: Key considerations for a multilateral mechanism for DSI

CBD COP16 will be an important milestone in bringing to reality the much-awaited multilateral system for benefit sharing from the use of DSI. Many questions remain to be addressed before this new mechanism can be put in place, and the devil will be in the details.

Experts from the DSI Scientific Network will discuss key aspects of the current DSI landscape that have important implications for the operationalization of the multilateral mechanism. The discussion will also look ahead to considerations for “future-proofing” the benefit-sharing system so that it is effective in the face of technological and policy developments.

The webinar will take place on:
10th September: 9am Colombia, 10am New York, 11am Brasilia , 2pm Dakar, 3pm London, 4 pm Johannesburg, 5pm Nairobi
