In addition, the workshop will explore the implementation challenges arising from the Protocol in different regions (the EU and its Member States, Africa, Asia and Latin America) and the perspectives of different groups of stakeholders (indigenous and local communities, the research community, the private sector, and legal advisors involved in international development cooperation projects).

These aims will be achieved by creating a synergetic dialogue between academics, legal officers in key UN bodies, key negotiators of the Protocol and stakeholders that participated in the Protocol negotiations or are currently pioneering its implementation.
