About this page

This page outlines the BBNJ Agreement (Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction Agreement), an international treaty for conserving and sustainably using marine biological diversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction. Key provisions include notification and benefit-sharing of marine genetic resources, establishment of marine protected areas, environmental impact assessments in the high seas and deep seabed, and capacity building and technology transfer. The agreement was adopted by the UN in June 2023, received parliamentary approval in May 2025, and is scheduled to enter into force in January 2026.
