An example for advanced norms under TRIPs Plus is the protection demanded by developed countries for data exclusivity.
@Gene editing can be used to protect endangered species or bring to life extinct species.
@Launched in 2018, ICESat-2 will carry a laser altimeter that detects individual photons, allowing scientists to measure the elevation of ice sheets, sea ice, forests and more in unprecedented detail. Our planet’s frozen and icy areas, called the cryosphere, are a key focus of NASA’s Earth science research.
ICESat-2 will help scientists investigate why, and how much, our cryosphere is changing in a warming climate.
