Information on the content of the resource
Within this sector, awareness of the Nagoya Protocol and the Convention on Biological Diversity is extremely inconsistent, with some companies and researchers actively involved in signing ABS agreements and attending CBD meetings, and others entirely unaware of the CBD. The timely arrival of the Nagoya Protocol could not only help raise awareness of the CBD and promote the equitable sharing of benefits arising from the use of genetic resources. In conjunction with other policy measures, implementation of the Protocol could also strengthen the potential links between industrial biotechnology, conservation, and the sustainable use of biodiversity.
