Session 1: An introduction to Access and Benefit Sharing

This session will concentrate on the Nagoya Protocol, intended as an introductory guide tailored to our communities. It will be structured in two parts: a theoretical segment, which will be recorded, followed by an interactive Q&A segment, which will not be recorded. We invite members from EBP, GGBN, ERGA, and Africa BP to join this enlightening discussion.
