Permanent Senate Commission on Fundamental Issues of Biological Diversity
The Permanent Senate Commission on Fundamental Issues of Biological Diversity functions as an independent, interdisciplinary expert forum, continually evaluating and presenting new scientific findings in terms of their societal and political significance. The Commission also advises DFG bodies, government and society on heavily debated topics relating to biodiversity and prepares position papers on behalf of the DFG.
The Senate of the DFG established the Senate Commission on Fundamental Issues of Biological Diversity on 1 January 2018. The Senate Commission has a working group on Access and Benefit Sharing.
