Information
Governments and global organizations play a critical role in advancing biological solutions to our world’s biggest problems. Weather-resistant crops, low-carbon fuels, biomanufactured chemicals, and advanced medicines will struggle to make an impact without institutional support. But how can world leaders support these technologies when many are unaware of their potential? How can we build ethical and biosecure frameworks into global policies and create transparent dialogues between global leaders, bioengineers, and the public?
