United Nations Economic and Social Council:
Biotechnology Use and Development
Standing at the crossroads of science and ethics, the ECOSOC Council on Sustainability of Biotechnology Development and Usage confronts the promises and perils of biotechnology. From rewriting the human genome to engineering crops that could feed billions, these breakthroughs carry the power to either heal the planet or deepen its divides. This committee challenges Member States to shape bold frameworks that ensure biotechnology serves humanity’s future—advancing the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) while safeguarding dignity, equity, and the environment.
