Sustainable bioeconomies can play a significant role in the transition to low-carbon emitting economies that conserve and protect nature, but a lack of cooperation and coordination is obstructing potential progress.
A collaborative approach that considers the trade-offs of the bioeconomy is needed to manage the roll-out of innovations and any emergent competition for land and resources.
Fragmentation in the geopolitical arena is making the necessary coordination between public and private sectors ever more difficult but there are current forums, such as the G20 and the COP climate summits, in which progress on the bioeconomy can be made.
