In this talk Joanna Mossop will describe the current state of negotiations for a new UN treaty on conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction. She will highlight some key points of contention in the negotiations and evaluate whether states are on track to achieve a sufficiently ambitious treaty that can respond to the threats facing marine biodiversity.
