The CBD Secretariat has undertaken regional workshops to facilitate the description of
ecologically or biologically significant marine areas (EBSAs). (...) The second meeting of the CBD Subsidiary Body on Implementation will discuss the mainstreaming of biodiversity across sectors, in particular energy and mining, infrastructure, manufacturing and processing, and health.
(...) The decision provided guidance to Parties on a number of matters, and also requested the Executive Secretary to continue collaboration with a number of partners.

Nagoya/CBD: There was no consensus on whether the CBD Secretariat should be invited to brief the TRIPS Council on the Nagoya Protocol. (...) Several members repeated their call for a future briefing by the CBD but again there was no consensus, as was also the case on whether the CBD should be an observer in the council.
The countries supporting “disclosure” said an amendment is still needed because the Nagoya Protocol and the CBD do not make disclosure mandatory and not all WTO members have signed the CBD
Others continue to oppose this saying Nagoya was recently agreed and should not be renegotiated immediately, and that the WTO’s TRIPS Agreement should not be used as a tool to enforce it.

TRIPs and the Protection of Traditional Knowledge
There have been some requests to weaken the TRIPs Agreement, alleging that the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) supersedes it, particularly with respect to the protection of traditional knowledge as recognized by Article 8j of the CBD.
ICCA believes that there is no disharmony between TRIPs and the CBD and supports the establishment of a system to address and protect traditional knowledge on a global basis. (...) See also the ICCA position paper on “TRIPs and the Environment” (June 29, 1999), which addresses in particular the interaction between TRIPs and CBD.

CHANGES IN THE SCOPE OF CONTROL OF SUBSTANCES: PROPOSED SCHEDULING RECOMMENDATIONS BY THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION

MINUTES:
Members also continued to debate patents on life forms and related proposals for reducing biopiracy — the misappropriation of genetic materials for use in inventions — and ensuring that the WTO’s intellectual property agreement is consistent with the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Their positions broadly remained unchanged, as were their views on inviting the CBD Secretariat to be an observer in the council.
(...) Members also continued to disagree on whether the secretariats of the World Intellectual Property Organization and UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) should be invited to brief the council on work in their organizations. (...) The WIPO Secretariat is a TRIPS Council observer and the concern raised was about timing: some said inviting WIPO would be premature since work on these issues in that WIPO is still in an early stage. The CBD Secretariat is not an observer, and some said it should be up to members to describe how they are implementing the CBD and its recently agreed Nagoya Protocol.

The CBD was established following the Earth Summit in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro, which paved the way for the establishment of three major conventions on the environment - on biodiversity, climate change and land degradation.
(...) The message will go to the CBD, and the two will land in Egypt with the climate change conference to bring together that connection,” says Ms.
