The co-chairs of the UN Secretary-General’s Group of Advocates for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – Prime Minister Erna Solberg of Norway and President Nana Akufo-Addo of Ghana – held a “Seed Summit” and marked the deposit of additional stock into the Svalbard Global Seed Vault in Norway. The Summit explored how to attain SDG target 2.5, which calls on the international community to maintain the genetic diversity of both crops and livestock by 2020, and promote access and benefit sharing.
