The 28th meeting of the\u00a0Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice<\/a>\u00a0(SBSTTA-28) in Nairobi highlighted both the opportunities and challenges facing the future governance of synthetic biology under the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Over five days of negotiations, delegates examined a new Thematic Action Plan (TAP) for synthetic biology while debating how emerging technologies should be assessed and governed in the years ahead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For organisations like Target Malaria, the discussions are significant because they touch on issues central to innovation in biodiversity and public health: science-based risk assessment, capacity building, and the role of expert advice in evaluating new technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the week, one theme remained consistent: the importance of case-by-case, science-based assessments. Delegates repeatedly defended language supporting evidence-driven decision-making, even as disagreements continued over precaution, horizon scanning and governance frameworks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0COP17 will take place in October in Yerevan, Armenia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
