As part of the capacity-building and knowledge-sharing efforts under the GEF Project (ID 10991) on ‘Promoting the safe application of biotechnology through Multi-country Cooperation in the implementation of National Biosafety Frameworks in Asia’, three thematic webinars were successfully organized in 2024, attracting 2,150 participants from over 55 countries.
The webinars were jointly organized by the Korea Institute for Promoting Asia Biosafety Cooperation (KIPABiC) with support from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the Korea Biosafety Clearing House (KBCH), Biotech Consortium India Limited (BCIL), and National Project Team from Bangladesh, India, Mongolia, and the Philippines.
- The first session, on 22 March 2024, was the Inter-country Knowledge Sharing Webinar on the Biosafety-related Target 17 of the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). This webinar provided a platform for experts and stakeholders to exchange experiences and strategies for mainstreaming Target 17 into National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs), with a focus on integrating biosafety considerations into national policies.
- On 13 September 2024, the second webinar, Synthetic Biology: Technological Developments and Policy Discussions, explored advancements and policy frameworks in synthetic biology. Designed to provide foundational knowledge, this session prepared participants from Bangladesh, India, Mongolia, the Philippines, and other global stakeholders for discussions on synthetic biology during COP-MOP 16 in Cali, Colombia.
- The third webinar, Risk Assessment and Risk Management (RARM): Looking Ahead to CP-MOP 11, was held on 27 September 2024. It highlighted the latest developments in RARM, including expert deliberations on the draft guidance document for gene drives, serving as a preparatory event for CP-MOP 11 in Cali, Colombia.
