Episode 12 – Ocean Cooperation: BBNJ & other IFBs
When the new BBNJ Agreement was adopted, it entered a crowded space of already existing Instruments, Frameworks and Bodies (IFBs) in ocean governance.
- What do other organisations think of BBNJ – and where are overlaps?
- Which lessons can be learned from cooperation in a shared ocean?
- How would ideal cooperation look like?
In this episode we talk to 4 Secretariats of those IFBs:
One regional fisheries management organisation (North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission, NEAFC); one regional conservation organisation (OSPAR); the International Seabed Authority (ISA); and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).
Guests:
Darius Campbell, the Executive Secretary of the North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
Dominic Pattinson, the former Executive Secretary of the OSPAR Commission
Bruno Pozzi, the Deputy Secretary General of the International Seabed Authority (ISA)
Joe Appiott, the coordinator for marine, coastal and island biodiversity of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)
