As Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity gather in Nairobi for the Twenty-sixth meeting of the Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice from 13-18 May 2024, the issue of synthetic biology is high on the agenda. […] Key recommendations for SBSTTA-26 on risk assessment on living modified organisms containing engineered gene drives. […] The French National Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health Safety (ANSES) calls for new GM plants to be assessed for health and environmental risks on a case-by-case basis before being placing on the market. […] A US federal court recently rescinded the U.S. EPA 2020 approval of the highly volatile herbicide dicamba for use on certain GM crops. […] Key recommendations for SBSTTA-26 on synthetic biology […] This study highlights the environmental risks associated with the use of new genomic techniques (NGT) on oilseed crops, such as negative effects on pollinators and increased risk of spread and persistence of NGT plants. […] The precautionary principle must remain central in a science-based regulation in line with the existing EU laws as the prerequisite for the use of plants obtained by certain new genetic techniques. […] The horizon scan of GM virus applications in this study indicates that a number of significant challenges remain in the risk assessment and risk management of GM virus applications. […] Transgene contamination of local seed systems and farmers’ fields in South Africa is common, but under-reported and can negatively impact agrobiodiversity, food security, farming practices, and traditional seed saving and exchange systems.
