LLM professor at Strathclyde Law School helps secure UN consultancy

The Strathclyde Centre for Environmental Law & Governance (SCELG) has been awarded a new consultancy from the Secretariat of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). This consultancy is to support the integrated implementation of the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety at the national level.

Professor Elisa Morgera – SCELG Director and the Director of the LLM Global Environmental Law and Governance at Strathclyde Law School – together with Miranda Geelhoed (PhD Fellow) and Elsa Tsioumani (BENELEX Research Fellow), carried out a consultancy for the CBD Secretariat to develop two online capacity-building tools to support the mainstreaming of biosafety into national legal frameworks.

This new follow-up consultancy contract that they have now secured will provide an opportunity to translate these capacity-building tools in French and Spanish. It will also enable them to develop two new tools, firstly to develop a national strategy for biosafety mainstreaming, and also to support the national implementation of the Supplementary Protocol on Liability and Redress to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety.
