iGEM World Environment Day


iGEM hosted the online seminar “Synthetic Biology: a Bold Choice for a Healthy Planet?” on June 3, 2022, in honour of the World Environment Day and the 50th anniversary of 1972 United Nations Conference on the Environment.

The 1972 United Nations Conference on the Environment in Stockholm was the first world conference to make the Environment a significant issue. This year is the 50th anniversary of that event. The United Nations will convene another meeting to draw on 50 years of multilateral environmental action to achieve the bold and urgent action needed to secure a better future on a healthy planet.

Synthetic biology and global youth are the two significant factors to shape the future and secure a healthy planet for the prosperity of all. Many iGEM alumni have done or are now doing projects to achieve that goal. We hope more youth could understand more about this historical event and envision synbio's role in protecting this planet for the next 50 years.
