Seventeenth meeting of the Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice
Two decades of CBD implementation have not led up to the initial expectations; Many of the CBD provisions are not respected, resulting in increasing biopiracy and other violations. In this side event, different legislations, legislative proposals and violating conditions like biopiracy will be compared with the CBD, Nagoya Protocol and rights of sustainable indigenous use through case studies, observations and analysis discussing the eventual differences in compliance.
