The biosafety outstation conducts research on the biosafety of genetically modified organisms.

UNIDO implements a biosafety diploma course, which is the first academically accredited biosafety course in the world.

(7) Regional Training Center of BioSafety

BFL General Trust Fund for Biosafety

The UNEP GEF Biosafety Unit manages 8 of the 12 GEF funded demonstration projects on implementation of national biosafety frameworks.

The biosafety unit provides institutional services related to the biosafety of genetically modified organisms and their release to the environment.

The Centre has since extended its work in this area with the establishment of a biosafety unit and a biosafety outstation.

The Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety, the first international legal instrument on biosafety, was adopted in January 2000 and entered into force in September 2003.

In addition, the UNEP GEF national biosafety frameworks development project has developed support tool kits for each major phase in the development of a national biosafety framework.

The Centre publishes the Collection of biosafety reviews , a compilation of scientific studies in areas of major interest on biosafety and risk assessment by internationally recognized scientists.

In particular, the biosafety unit conducts an intense training programme for the safe use of genetically modified organisms which is further enhanced by the new biosafety outstation.

UNEP, through its biosafety activities, has also been working with industry representatives through the Global Industry Coalition and non governmental organizations interested in biosafety through the Third World Network.

UNIDO is also collaborating with CAB International to develop authoritative and unbiased biosafety knowledge management tools to assist in the implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity Biosafety Clearing House Mechanism.

Other ongoing activities in that area include the preparation of a biosafety manual the holding of training courses and the establishment of a Biosafety Information Network and Advisory Service (BINAS) that will provide expert advice to developing countries on biosafety issues at both technical and policy levels through promotional projects.

UNIDO has been streamlining the activities of its biosafety clearing house, in the light of ongoing capacity building programmes of the Global Environment Facility and UNEP, with a focus on providing information and training on biosafety.

There's regulations. There's got to be regulations!

Most biotechnology related activities within the United Nations are in the areas of biosafety and the environment.

Staff Regulations (ST SGB Staff Regulations Rev.22)

Section 16 of the regulations states that research on the imported pathogens at biosafety level 3 or 4 must be conducted at the facility indicated on the application permit, and that applications must be made for subsequent transfers, which must receive approval by Health Canada.
