The ABS Initiative is continuing its support – since COP 15, based on a common workplan with the Meridian Institute – to the informal process accompanying the DSI related negotiations under the CBD in close cooperation with the Secretariat of the CDB and the co-chairs of the various negotiation groups. This webinar focuses on non-monetary benefits-sharing (NMBS), a topic that has so far not received much attention. To support the discussion around this topic the webinar is structured as follows: • Welcome and introduction • Background on NMBS and current status of discussion • Kick-off remarks for the panel discussion and introduction of panellists • Panel discussion • Q&A and discussion between floor and panel • Closing reflections from an IP&LC perspective
