There is broad consensus in the international community on the intrinsic value of biodiversity, and the need to collectively protect it from the threats posed by exploitation and by uses derived from new scientific, technological and, especially, biotechnological developments. Thus, the objectives of this project are: a) analysis of the impact of scientific and technological developments and modern biology on international law related to the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity; b) study of interactions between the Convention and the various established regimes relevant to the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and which may be affected by the development of advances in biotechnology; c) governance of marine biodiversity and the exploration and exploitation of marine genetic resources, through a regional approach (Mediterranean, Caribbean, Arctic).
