Significant new investments and human resources development will be required in biotechnology, especially in the developing world.

Over 30 States have already begun to incorporate biometric identifiers in their travel documents.

Mr. Vladu noted that technological approaches to adaptation include both hard technologies such as capital goods and hardware, as well as soft technologies such as knowledge of methods and techniques which enable hard technologies to be applied.

ICGEB International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology

The Asian and Pacific Centre for Transfer of Technology, a subsidiary of the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific, in collaboration with the Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology, has established the Biotechnology Information Network in Asia and the Pacific. With national focal points in 14 countries, the Network facilitates knowledge sharing, technology development and technology transfer, and promotes the development of biotechnology industries.

One of them is pattern recognition.

Biometrics can enter into this area of activity, if collection or reading of biometric data is assessed as a useful feature for a particular country's border system.

E. Biotechnology

Applications in information and communication technology and biotechnology, in particular, hold enormous promise for the achievements of the Goals.

E. Making effective use of existing technologies, especially ICTs and biotechnologies

In brief, the combination of biofuel and biomass technologies offers greater environmental benefits and the two technologies complement each other.

The UNEP international technical guidelines for safety in biotechnology were published in 1995 as an interim mechanism to facilitate the development of national capacities to assess and manage biotechnology risks, the establishment of adequate information systems and the development of human resources and relevant expertise pertinent to biosafety issues at national and regional levels.

Reports of the panel on biotechnology

Traditional and local technical knowledge, know how and practices, often collectively referred to as traditional technologies, represent accumulated cognitive and perceptual experience of interactions between a group of people, their physical and biological environments, and the production systems.

The United Nations University Institute of Advanced Studies undertakes research on biotechnology policy assessment, in particular on best practices by selected Asian countries biotechnology industrial development policies, with a view to developing a medium to long term prospectus on biotechnology development in the Asian region and an assessment of ongoing capacity building initiatives worldwide in the areas of biotechnology and biosafety.

For the purposes of the GT Act, a GMO is a viable biological entity that has been modified by modern genetic techniques, or an organism that has inherited the traits of another organism modified by such techniques.

The Commission's work on biotechnology led to the creation of the Inter Agency Task Force on Biotechnology in 2004.

UNU United Nations University UNU BIOLAC UNU Programme for Biotechnology in Latin America and the Caribbean

Special emphasis is placed on learning and the transfer of new knowledge skills and technologies.

33. Technological advances, especially in communication, information and biotechnology, are widening the gap between countries.

The focus of UN Biotech should be on building productive capacity in all areas of biotechnology, such as industry, health, agriculture and environment, which may help developing countries to become leaders in formulating policies as that technology is developed.

And so this is one skill of how to hoover up knowledge, one from another.

Mr. Lehmann noted that transfer of technology in the CBD includes technology protected by intellectual property rights and must be implemented in accordance with international law.

And this is pretty easy biotechnology.

Applications of biotechnology for development

That's bioprocessing, you know that's bio assisted technology using an organism to do your wastewater treatment is an old, old technology called domestication.

Use biotechnology where useful, particularly in pest and disease resistance.

Recognizing further the need for dissemination of research knowledge, technologies and expertise in the field of biotechnology, in particular in the areas of agriculture, pharmaceuticals and health care, that could benefit mankind,

In decision VII 29, UNCTAD was also invited to join forces with the CBD Secretariat and the World Intellectual Property Organization to prepare technical studies that analyses the role of intellectual property rights in technology transfer in the context of the CBD.

The Commission also organized a training workshop on intellectual property rights and technology transfer of biotechnology for the West African and Central African francophone countries in April 2004.

IV 3. Issues related to biosafety in particular the negotiations for a protocol to the Convention to address the transboundary movements of organisms modified by biotechnology

Due attention was also given to biotechnology, advanced materials and biofuels.
