Abstract

Following on from a previous blog post on the UN Biodiversity Conference of the Parties (COP15, held on 7-19 December 2022 - Montreal, Canada), this post reflects on the decision to establish a multilateral mechanism for benefit-sharing from ​digital sequence information (​DSI​)​, including a global fund, and its implications of for the ocean, ocean-dependent human rights and ocean research.​ In doing so, this post draws on the contributions from One Ocean Hub research to this process, as well as the work that remains outstanding, under the ​​Convention on Biological Diversity (​​CBD​​)​​, the World Health Organisation and the newly concluded international Agreement on marine biodiversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction (BBNJ). ​
