Rich nations committed to pay an estimated $30 billion a year by 2030 to poorer nations
Countries have also agreed to fair and equitable benefit-sharing from the utilization of digital sequence information on genetic resources - which involves using genes in living organisms to create new products.

There's an article in the Washington Post right now which is titled "Coinbase to pay $100 million over lax money laundering safeguards."
Reading the article doesn't really add a whole lot of new info, it's mostly right there in the headline.
Now, in all seriousness, isn't money laundering one of the primary uses for cryptocurrency exchanges? I mean, maybe it's second to defrauding investors, but it's definitely up there at the top of the list.
Asking crypto exchanges to self-police for money laundering activities seems a bit like asking Chrysler to self-police for producing shitty cars. It's kind of their whole business model, and if you take that away, what have you got left?

TIL Islamic terrorists do not represent Islam.
“He knew what he was doing. He knew why he was doing it and he thought he would die in the attack,” Thomas Galati, the department’s chief of intelligence and counterterrorism, was quoted as having told ABC News in an interview. “He did yell out ‘Allahu Akbar.'”
“He is not representing, you know, the Islamic religion but rather, you know, a very, very small percentage of people that get radicalized,” Galati added.
The suspect, 19-year-old Trevor Bickford, faces charges of attempted murder of a police officer.
