The Ministry of Environmental Protection - TAIEX workshop
 
A two-day TAIEX workshop will be held on 12-13 July 2017, which will deal with the implementation of ABS and Access Sharing (ABS) mechanisms in Israel.
 
The purpose of these mechanisms is to regulate the collection, transfer, and commercial use of genetic resources (plants, animals, etc.) between countries, so that countries that are the source of the genetic material will be able to profit from the benefits derived from it.
 
To date, the Protocol has been ratified by about 50 countries, including EU countries, and is relevant to all those engaged in research, agriculture, foreign trade, international law, economics, and nature conservation.
 
Researchers should learn the subject in depth and understand the practical implications of implementing these mechanisms, which are already operating in several countries that have signed and ratified the Convention.
 
  • Link to a 5-minute video for a brief explanation of the Nagoya Protocol and ABS
  • To register for the workshop please contact Amir Wiener
