Refugee children have ideas, experiences, knowledge and an abundance of resources.

This involves the enhancement and sharing of knowledge on water resources and how to sustain them.

The World Intellectual Property Organization has an ongoing programme addressing traditional knowledge and genetic resources.

And the limiting factor, there and here, is not resources, because they're plentiful, but knowledge, which is scarce.

Mr. Rao (World Intellectual Property Organization) said that his organization had been involved for decades in dealing with issues relating to traditional knowledge, genetic resources and the folklore of indigenous communities.

In relation to access to natural resources including biological resources, genetic resources and or traditional knowledge of indigenous peoples, leading to possible exploration, development or use thereof.

And the way we'll make energy in the future is not from resource, it's really from knowledge.

That is important in facilitating the sharing of resources, expertise and experiences.

(e) Development of the knowledge base on the use of marine and coastal genetic resources

Such complementary resources could be in innovation, organizational or marketing knowledge, research and development, and finance.

(e) To distribute knowledge and technology of the use of marine data and information for the development and management of national resources.

In other words, it's a matter of knowledge, not resources.

We have pressed into the service of development our own intellectual resources, which are products of our own ethos.

In 2000 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) had established an Intergovernmental Committee with a mandate to discuss intellectual property issues arising from access to genetic resources and benefit sharing, and the protection of traditional knowledge and folklore.

The shift from material to knowledge based resources opened up vast opportunities for the developing countries to accelerate the pace of development.

This would include the development of the criteria, procedures and required expertise and resources for this process.

Developing countries have called for establishing effective and enforceable international mechanisms under TRIPS to prohibit and prevent the misappropriation of genetic resources to regulate the disclosure of sources of genetic resources and the traditional knowledge involved in an invention and to ensure prior informed consent and benefit sharing.

However, there exists a breathtaking gap in our scientific knowledge of the resources of sea.

How should indigenous communities benefit from their contribution of traditional knowledge to conservation and sustainable use of resources?

The project focuses mainly on water but it also deals with poverty eradication and the development of a knowledge society.

Developing sources of drug control expertise

Recognizing the need for adequate financial resources to increase investment in human resources development,

8. Requests the Secretary General to ensure that resources and expertise are made available to the Secretariat to promote the implementation of the Programme of Action

Such strategies also include the strengthening of skills, motivation and responsibilities at different levels, as well as the mobilization of financial, knowledge based and technological resources (see chapter V, below and other sections of this plan).

While the use of consultants may be justified in situations where they provide technical expertise, it appears to the Committee that there is a tendency to request consultancy funds to supplement existing staff resources.

It requires substantial amounts of capital, significant expertise and technological resources, and it has long development lead times.

That requires time and resources that I know we possess.

We recognize that the United Nations brings together a unique wealth of expertise and resources on global issues.

Information, knowledge and communication systems help African country Parties in information sharing and resource mobilization.

Acknowledging the contribution that the ongoing work of the Intergovernmental Committee on Intellectual Property and Genetic Resources, Traditional Knowledge and Folklore, of the World Intellectual Property Organization, can make in enhancing the effective implementation of the provisions of the Convention on Biological Diversity,

The Committee trusts that efforts will be made to utilize available expertise and resources within the United Nations system.
