In March the CBD Open-Ended Working Group on the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework will resume its 3rd session at a face-to-face meeting in Geneva, where it will conduct its first in-person negotiations on DSI. To stimulate fresh thinking ahead of this important meeting the ABS Initiative, working under the auspices of the Norway-South Africa Partnership on DSI, is organising a webinar focused on three new studies outlining potential ABS approaches relevant to DSI:
