PRRI-medlemmer, der deltager i FN's Biodiversitetskonference 2024

Medlemmer af PRRI deltog fra 21 oktober til og med 1 November 2024 som observatører i FN's Biodiversitetskonference 2024, i Cali, Colombia.

FN's biodiversitetskonference 2024 omfatter:

• Den Sekstende møde i konferencen for parterne i konventionen om biologisk mangfoldighed (CBD-COP16),
• Den Elvte møde i partskonferencen, der tjener som møde mellem parterne i Cartagena-protokollen om biosikkerhed (CPB-MOP11), og
• Den Femte møde i partskonferencen, der fungerer som mødet mellem parterne i Nagoya-protokollen om adgang og deling af fordele (NP-MOP5).

FN's biodiversitetskonference 2024 serves as a key forum for global negotiations on biodiversity, biosafety, and equitable genetic resource sharing, aimed at advancing the objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), its protocols, and the Global Biodiversity Framework. Public research organisations such as PRRI play a indispensable role in these discussions by advocating for science-based policies, enhancing collaboration, and supporting innovation.

Hovedformålet med PRRI-medlemmers deltagelse i COP'er og MOP'er er at holde sig ajour – og hold interesserede PRRI-medlemmer orienteret – af udviklingen i internationale forhandlinger, og at bringe en stemme til bordet, der lægger vægt på videnskab, innovation, og evidensbaserede løsninger til målene for CBD og dets protokoller. Til dette formål, PRRI members engaged with many delegates from Parties and other observers delegations.

In the preparation for and participation UN Biodiversity Conferences PRRI closely collaborates with other member organisations of the Biodiversitetsinnovationskoalition.

PRRI delegates focused on building strong collaborative relationships, and also participated actively in the Academia and Research caucus, in which COOPMOP2024 delegates registered under ‘Academia and Research’ collaborate (A&R contacts: Audrey Wagner (audrey.wagner @ biology.ox.ac.uk) and Hannah Nicholas (hannah.nicholas @ biology.ox.ac.uk).

PRRI members contributed to the opening and closing statements of the A&R group:

• COPMOP 2024 – Academia and Research Organizations – Conference FN biodiversitet 2024 – Opening Statement
• COPMOP 2024 – Academia and Research Organizations – Conference FN biodiversitet 2024 – Closing Statement

On 26 Oktober 2024, PRRI members also participated in an A&R ‘Flash Talk’ side event (Links to presentations below).
