Member countries of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity are meeting in Egypt for its biennial conference of the parties, and the conference of the parties of its protocol on access and benefit sharing, until the end of November. New technologies are high on the agenda of the meeting, such as synthetic biology and genetic sequence information of genetic resources, and how they will impact the convention’s objectives. Delegates are also expected to discuss a potential global multilateral benefit-sharing mechanism, and criteria for international specialised instruments of access and benefit-sharing which could substitute the protocol’s obligations in certain cases.
