TWN briefing note on Target 17 of the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). Target 17 is the biosafety target and would apply to all Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity. The analysis is on the ‘streamlined’ text proposed by the Informal Group on the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework. […] There is urgent need to end the fossil-fuel based and chemical-reliant industrial agriculture model and to invest more ambitiously in an agroecological transition. […] The release of GE trees would pose serious threats to forests and other ecosystems, as well as to many local communities and Indigenous peoples. […] A group of international scientists and policy experts have published a statement opposing the use of the term “precision breeding” to describe gene or genome editing. […] This report looks at the economic, environmental and social impacts of 25 years of growing herbicide-tolerant GM crops and concludes that the increasing failure of these crops provides an opportunity to phase out their use and adopt more sustainable technologies. […] The Global Biodiversity Framework will succeed only to the extent that it guarantees the rights of indigenous peoples, peasants, and other smallholder food producers, while putting the world’s food systems on a path toward agroecology. […] This new publication flags the potential pitfalls associated with the push by Bt crop backers to make market inroads into developing countries for a technology of questionable effectiveness and durability. […] This recent study shows how changes in a single ‘keystone gene’ can have far-reaching consequences for ecosystems, an issue of relevance for new GE techniques. […] This policy brief advocates greater support for institutional reforms that are essential to building or strengthening agro-ecological foundations in Southeast Asian higher education institutes to achieve the SDGs.
