The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework adopted in December 2022 sets the ambition for an increase in fair and equitable Access and Benefit-sharing (ABS) through Goal C and Target 13 of the framework. Goal C and Target 13 both call for an increase in benefits shared from the utilization of genetic resources and traditional knowledge associated with genetic resources and from the use of digital sequence information on genetic resources. In Decision 15/5, the Conference of the Parties adopted a monitoring framework for the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework which includes two headline indicators and a binary indicator related to Goal C and Target 13. The COP established an Ad Hoc Technical Expert Group (AHTEG) to continue the work on these indicators. The Goal C and Target 13 headline indicators are: C.1 Indicator on monetary benefits received and C.2 Indicator on non-monetary benefit. The global indicator based on responses to binary questions which was further developed and is included in SBSTTA25/2. Although these indicators were agreed in principle there is currently no global approach to monitoring and quantifying monetary or non-monetary benefits from ABS. Furthermore, information on regional or national quantification is very limited. The SCBD, the co-chairs of the AHTEG on Indicators, the Leibniz Institute DSMZ, are organising this side event to exchange information and ideas to better understand how monetary benefits and non-monetary benefits are shared by users and received by providers and how this information can inform the work of the AHTEG on indicators. The side event will present a panel discussion on how benefits can be accounted for at the national level, how benefits are monitored under the ITPGRFA), and how some non-monetary benefits might be monitored at the global level. Based on the panel discussion, attendees will be invited to contribute their own national experiences and any new ideas. The discussion and output of the side event will be incorporated into a study led by the science policy and internationalization department at DSMZ, thanks to generous financial contribution of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
