Information on the content of the resource
This study shows the large discrepancies between the EU ABS framework and provider country legislations in how they implement the Nagoya Protocol, and the consequences for access and benefit sharing. The study also presents some constructive suggestions on how to deal with the current discrepancies, so that the rights of provider countries and of indigenous peoples and local communities can still be respected and fulfilled, and fair and equitable benefit sharing can be achieved.
