Title:

Biofuels:  Global Challenge, International Response

Speaker:

Catherine Rhodes

The recent rapid increase in the use of biofuels has caused great controversy. Promoted as a means of rural development and of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on carbon-based fuels, it has become clear that expanded biofuels use could actually cause more harm than benefit.

Catherine will outline the challenges for the international community in managing increased use so that negative impacts on food security, biodiversity, climate change, etc. are minimised and she will explore the issue of how the international community can best respond to these challenges. 

Catherine is a research fellow in Bradford University’s Department of Peace Studies.  Her research focus is governance of biotechnology at the international level.  She maintains a website (www.genomics-gateway.net) and produces a quarterly online report on developments in the international regulation of biotechnology.
