[Nhcoll-l] Action of SPNHC MEMBERS needed: participate in CBD Secretariat call to improve the functioning of the Nagoya Protocol

[Dirk Neumann]

Dear SPNHC members and NHColl-folks,

the CBD Secretariat currently carries out a a targeted survey on challenges related to the implementation of the Nagoya Protocol, deadline to submit is next Monday 15 th Dec 2025. It would be good if especially scientist/institutions from outside Noth America and Europe would participate actively.

The call is open for institutions and individual users, aka scientists or scientific institutions.

Basis for the CBD survey is  decision NP-3/1<https://www.cbd.int/doc/decisions/np-mop-03/np-mop-03-dec-01-en.pdf>, paragraph 18 (a). The aim of the  (hopefully) improve some of the dysfunctionalities of the Nagoya Protocol.

The CETAF Legs & Regs group has prepared a template for your answers which is based on experiences at three large CETAF member institutions. Our answers aim to call for simplified/harmonised, e.g. by suggesting the CETAF Code of Conduct as recognised Best Practice among others. This Code of Conduct is currently the only officially recognised Best Practice and also referenced on the website of the CBD:  https://www.cbd.int/abs/submissions/icnp-3/eu-taxonomic-practices.pdf


Please submit your individual institutional submissions, feel free to use the pre-filled PDF-form as reference for your answers wherever this might be useful.

Deadline for the survey is 15th December, Link: https://forms.office.com/e/R5XdcaL2F7

It would be for our own advantage if there is a strong response from our community.
Please avoid ranting about the NP; it will not be changed or amended, instead, we should stay focused to improve its functionality and that of the ABS Clearing House that provides relevant information.

Thanks to all that contribute in advance,
With best wishes
Dirk Neumann
