Isabelle Coche – Turning the corner: What does the IUCN rejection of a moratorium mean for gene drive research? | GES Colloquium (Zoom)
Zoom ONLY | At the 2025 IUCN World Conservation Congress, a proposal to establish a moratorium on gene drive research failed to pass—nearly a decade after the first calls for such a moratorium emerged. Does this outcome signal a shift in global debates over gene drive technologies? This talk will trace how discussions within the IUCN and other international policy arenas have evolved over the past ten years, offering reflections on what this moment reveals about the future of gene drive governance and public discourse.
