1 Nagoya Protocol & Open Science Time for scientists to speak out! Philippe Desmeth MOSAICC, MOSAICS & TRUST Coordinator WFCC Past President

2 OUTLINE Nagoya Protocol Essence of Science - The Spirit and the Letter - Cumulative Research Economics of Science - Creation of Knowledge Benefit Sharing Communication - Scientific Data Sharing - Facts, figures and explanation

3 Conservation Utilization 3 Objectives Benefit Sharing 1. Conservation of biological diversity 2. Sustainable use of its components 3. Fair and equitable benefit sharing

4 PARADIGM SHIFT From open access to sovereign rights (CBD article 15) [ the authority to determine access ] (CBD article 15.1) [ to create conditions to facilitate access ] CBD art. (15.2)

5 NAGOYA PROTOCOL 1 Objective fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising out the utilization of genetic resources Conservation Utilization thereby contributing to the 1. conservation of biological diversity 2. sustainable use of its components Benefit Sharing

6 NAGOYA PROTOCOL ABS - Access and Benefit Sharing Access to Genetic Resources Quid pro Quo Fair and Equitable Benefit Sharing arising from their Utilization

7 OUTLINE Nagoya Protocol Essence of Science - The Spirit and the Letter - Cumulative Research Economics of Science - Creation of Knowledge Benefit Sharing Striking a balance - Scientific Data Sharing - Law in support of Responsible Science

8 THE ESSENCE OF SCIENCE If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants Letter dated 1676 Isaac Newton ( )

9 CUMULATIVE RESEARCH Schrödinger's speculations about how genetic information might be stored in molecules. What Is Life? 1944 Erwin Schrödinger ( )

10 CUMULATIVE RESEARCH X-ray diffraction image of DNA taken by Raymond Gosling, Rosalind Franklin, John Randall Critical evidence in identifying the structure of DNA. May 1952 Photo 51 X-ray diffraction image of DNA

11 SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTIONS

12 OUTLINE Nagoya Protocol Essence of Science - The Spirit and the Letter - Cumulative Research Economics of Science - Creation of Knowledge Benefit Sharing Communication - Scientific Data Sharing - Facts, figures and explanation

13 KNOWLEDGE IS AN ECONOMIC ASSET From sciences to economic production Francis Bacon ( )

14 BIO-ECONOMY From renewable biological resources to sustainable products and services

15 KNOWLEDGE BASED BIO-ECONOMY COOPERATION - COMMUNICATION Socio-economic outputs Public Networks RESEARCH FACILITIES INFRASTRUCTURES Internet based Culture Collections Socio-economic agents Material & Data Providers Private Public FUNDING Knowledge IT New technologies Data / Metadata Microorganisms Biological diversity

16 COLLECTIONS ARE SOLUTION PROVIDERS Micro-biological Resources Pure culture to Microbiome Data (raw & processed data) Services & After sales

17 FIT FOR PURPOSE SOLUTIONS Scientific & technical package Legal & Administrative package Biological Resources Data Services + after sales

18 TO FACILITATE, ORGANIZE EXPLOITATION EU Regulation 511/2014 on compliance measures for users from Nagoya Protocol Deposit Biosafety and Biosecurity Distribution IPR

19 OUTLINE Nagoya Protocol Essence of Science - The Spirit and the Letter - Cumulative Research Economics of Science - Creation of Knowledge Benefit Sharing Communication - Scientific Data Sharing - Facts, figures and explanation

20 CONTROVERSIAL DEVELOPMENTS Nagoya Protocol ruling Digital Sequence Information on Genetic Resources? Legal Certainty requires - applicable laws = rules in the real work setting - clear delineation, scope of the law Scientific progress requires - Open science - Open Access to Data

21

22 CONTROVERSIAL DEVELOPMENTS CBD Ad Hoc Technical Expert Group on DIGITAL SEQUENCE INFORMATION (DSI) ON GENETIC RESOURCES Denial of free circulation of scientific data as common practice Open access to DSI for the advancement of life sciences Maroochydore, Australia, 16 August 2018 Jeopardizing scientific exchanges Dr Cristiana Paşca Palmer Executive Secretary of the Convention on Biological Diversity United Nations Environment Programme Accurate identification of strains is paramount for cumulative research Benefit sharing rights to be acknowledged, Ref: UNRESTRICTED ACCESS TO DIGITAL SEQUENCE INFORMATION Ethical use of DSI at all times, Subject to sovereign rights and abide by the laws of relevant jurisdiction

23

24

25 HOMEWORK FOR SCIENTISTS Applying rules in the real work setting Scientific community must explain - The actual working of Up- and Downstream research - The role of science in achieving the CBD objectives

26 EXAMPLE OF SCIENTIFIC BENEFIT SHARING CBD Article 7. Identification and Monitoring Each Contracting Party shall, [ ] : (a) Identify components of biological diversity GCM 2.0 Whole Genome Sequencing of type and reference strains

27 GCM 2.0 contributes to the CBD objectives Nagoya Protocol Article 8. Special Considerations (a) [ ] simplified measures on access for non-commercial research [ ] GCM 2.0 Collaborative Research Agreement: [ ] Sequences and associated information will be - posted to public available databases (Genbank/EMBL/ DDBJ/GCM) and - used for free for non-commercial use. [ ]

28 GCM 2.0 Contribute to the CBD objectives Nagoya Protocol Annex. Monetary and Non-monetary Benefits 2. Non-monetary benefits may include, but not be limited to: (a) Sharing of research and development results. (k) Access to scientific information [ ], including biological inventories and taxonomic studies; GCM 2.0 = Non-monetary Benefit Sharing

29 MESSAGE OF SCIENTISTS TO LAWMAKERS Promote open science and open data access Present hard facts and oppose subjective statements Popularize science in the context of CBD Propose solutions Present examples STRIKING A BALANCE : LAW in support of RESPONSIBLE SCIENCE

30 PREREQUISITES to Fair and Equitable Benefit Sharing Conservation Utilization Benefit Sharing NAGOYA PROTOCOL

31 OUTLINE Nagoya Protocol Essence of Science - The Spirit and the Letter - Cumulative Research Economics of Science - Creation of Knowledge Benefit Sharing Communication - Scientific Data Sharing - Facts, figures and explanation

32 STRIKING THE RIGHT BALANCE non-monetary multi-lateral benefit sharing MANY SCIENTIFIC UPSTREAM RESEARCH ARE mechanisms that effectively implement the CBD and Nagoya Protocol

33 GENERAL MEDIA Message distortion Frankenvirus, Biopirates, etc

34 COMMUNICATE? WHAT? HOW? BELGIUM is
