"This book analyses the status and prospects of the global governance of Access Benefit Sharing (ABS) in the aftermath of 2010's Nagoya Protocol to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). The CBD's initial 1992 framework of global ABS governance established the objective of sharing the benefits arising from the use of genetic resources fairly between countries and communities. Since then, ABS has been a contested issue in international politics, not least due to the failure of effective implementation of the original CBD framework. The Nagoya Protocol therefore aims to improve and enhance this framework. Compared to the slow rate of progress on climate change, it has been considered a major achievement of global environmental governance, but it has also been coined a 'masterpiece of ambiguity'. This book analyses the role of a variety of actors in the emergence of the Nagoya Protocol and provides an up-to-date assessment of the core features of the architecture of global ABS governance.This book offers a central resource regarding ABS governance for those working on and interested in global environmental governance. This is achieved by focusing on two broad themes of the wider research agenda on global environmental governance, namely architecture and agency. Furthermore, individual chapter contributions relate and link ABS governance to other prominent debates in the field, such as institutional complexes, compliance, market-based approaches, EU leadership, the role of small states, the role of non-state actors and more. Partly due to its seeming technical complexity, ABS governance has so far not been at the centre of attention of scholars and practitioners of global environmental governance. In this book, care is taken to provide an accessible account of key functional features of the governance system which enables non-specialists to gain a grasp on the main issues involved, allowing the issue of ABS governance to move centre-stage and be more fully recognised in discussions on global environmental governance.

The SCALES book is an attempt to bundle up the main results of SCALES in a comprehensive manner and present it in a way that is usable not only for pure scientists but also for people making decisions in administration, management, policy or even business and NGOs; to people who are more interested in the “practical” side of this issue.

Annotation Many specifics of the bioinspired intelligence are not well addressed by the conventional models currently used in the field of artificial intelligence The purpose of the work conference is to present and discuss novel ideas, work and results related to alternative techniques for bioinspired approaches, which depart from mainstream procedures Nowadays, the studies based on complex system is opened new doors in research field and in particular, to improve the quality and the results of diverse applications The bioinspired intelligence is done easy this task and in areas like, biodiversity conservation, biomedicine, security applications, etc.

L’industrie, indispensable au développement de notre économie et à la cohésion de notre société, est en déclin dans notre pays. L’Académie des technologies s’est penchée sur les moyens de favoriser sa renaissance sous des formes adaptées aux nouveaux enjeux écologiques et sociétaux, dans un marché mondialisé. Comment faciliter le développement en France d’une industrie créatrice de richesse pour toutes ses parties prenantes, respectueuse de ses salariés, sobre en ressources, attentive à ses impacts, soucieuse de la qualité et de la sécurité de ses procédés et de ses produits, moteur du développement durable des territoires sur lesquels elle est implantée ? Le rapport se penche aussi bien sur ce qui relève des entreprises que sur le rôle des pouvoirs publics. Il insiste sur l’importance des réseaux et écosystèmes dont chaque participant peut mobiliser des partenaires aux compétences complémentaires, sur la nécessité d’améliorer la formation initiale et continue, d’organiser des carrières plus évolutives et donc plus attractives, de développer une recherche technologique accessible aux entreprises, d’encourager les investissements patients et risqués. Il montre à travers quelques exemples comment l’industrie française peut consolider ses positions ou rattraper ses retards grâce au développement et à la diffusion de technologies émergentes et en s’appuyant sur de nouveaux usages.
