This issue of BRIDGES Trade BioRes is a special edition for the Sixth Conference of the Parties (COP-6) to the Convention on Biological Diversity and the third meeting of the Intergovernmental Committee (ICCP-3) on the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety, to be held back-to-back on 7-26 April in The Hague, The Netherlands. The issue includes a number of articles that have been adapted from previous issues of BRIDGES Trade BioRes, and updated to focus on issues to be discussed at COP-6 and ICCP-3. We welcome your comments on how to improve this and future issues as well as any contributions that may support our reporting efforts on the ongoing negotiations at the WTO and related debates on the CBD and Biosafety Protocol.
