The article reports on the potential for international negotiations within the auspices of the Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD) to break down, implying negative ramifications for global environmental diplomacy. Several countries with the richest biodiversity, such as Brazil, refused to sign environmental protection targets without being offered deals to share the money generated from the exploitation of their genetic resources.
