Equitable Sharing

The debate over control and ownership of natural and bio genetic resources has a chequered history in International environmental law. Historically genetic resources were considered and acknowledged as part of common heritage of mankind. But with the development of technologies and the heightened north south divide over the issue of sovereign right over natural resources the developing nations became extremely concerned with the exploitation of biological and Genetic resources. Access to benefit sharing (ABS) was considered as an answer to balance the interests of developed and developing nations and to conserve and protect bio diversity. Adopted on October 2010 in Nagoya, Japan by the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) of 1992, the Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilization (NP) has come into force after its 50th ratification on 2013. Nagoya protocol details on procedure for access and benefit sharing, disclosure mechanism, principles of transparency and democracy. The paper analyses the protection of access and benefit sharing envisaged under Nagoya protocol and its possible role in promoting sustainable development in the develoing nations.

The Global Taxonomy Initiative (GTI) was developed by governments through the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) after acknowledging the existence of taxonomic impediment to the sound management of biodiversity. The main aim of the strategy is to develop the human resources and infrastructure necessary to generate, disseminate and use taxonomic knowledge and information in a manner that assists parties in effectively implementing the convention. The National Taxonomy Committee (NTC) is a committee mandated to drive the Global Taxonomy Initiative programme of work in Botswana.

Mainstreaming biodiversity in production landscapes ensures conservation and sustainable use of agricultural biodiversity, the key objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the projects supported by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) Global Environment Facility (GEF). Mainstreaming integrates biodiversity in existing or new programs and policies, both cross-sectoral and sector-specific. The conventional model of agricultural production with limited diversity in production systems and use of high chemical input has taught us a valuable lesson as it is adversely impacting the environment, the essential ecosystem services, the soil health and the long term sustainability of our food systems. Using a qualitative participant observation approach, our study investigated four distinct traditional Indian production landscapes to gage (i) the farming communities’ response to institutional policies, programs and agricultural biodiversity-related activities in traditional Indian production landscapes and (ii) opportunities and challenges for sustainable development in smallholder traditional Indian farming systems. Results indicate that the top-down decision-making regime is the least effective towards achieving sustainable development in traditional Indian farming landscapes and that farmers’ experiential knowledge on participatory biodiversity management, maintenance and use for sustainable development are of critical importance to India’s agriculture and economy. Reclaiming agriculture’s spiritual roots through organic farming and locally grown food emerged as key, including the need for designing and implementing a more sovereign food system. Revisiting traditional smallholder farming under the COVID-19 pandemic and lessons learned for repurposing India’s agricultural policy are also highlighted.

Conservation Of Biodiversity

One of the landmark outcomes of Earth Summit was the ‘Convention on Biological Diversity’ which calls upon parties to conserve and sustainably use biological diversity while equitably sharing the benefits of the use of genetic resources. The chapter explores the role of IPR to achieve sustainability. This chapter further provides a study of the development of the concept of Sustainable Development as a tool to meet the social need and will analyse recent position—how can IPR be a handy tool to achieve the objective mentioned under CBD and Nagoya Protocol with the help of TRIPS Agreement. It primarily discusses interlinks and conflicts between the provisions of CBD and IPRs. The chapter argues that Indian policymakers have a crucial but tough role in ensuring that the IPR policies and practices and the need of conservation of biodiversity stands mutually supportive to each other.

By 2020, at least ten percent of the global oceans should be subject to area-based protection according to the target agreed by the parties to the 1992 Convention on Biological Diversity in 2010 (Aichi Biodiversity Targets) and reiterated in 2015 Sustainable Development Goal 14.5. This paper looks at the Sustainable Development Goals and the evolution of the concept of Sustainable Development, distinguishing it from international environmental law. Then it looks at the way in which the goals relate to ocean governance and the current lacunae in the system established by the 1982 Law of the Sea Convention and the negotiations within the UN to address the issue of the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity in area beyond national jurisdiction. In particular, it looks at the sectoral approaches to area-based protection in areas beyond national jurisdiction, where currently iucn reports that only 1.18% is protected.

Biodiversity Governance

What is the likelihood of science and technology progress for biodiversity from the sustainable development goals? This chapter argues that it is higher than it may seem as a result of scientific developments ready for wide application and a structure of biodiversity governance able to spread innovation. The chapter initially argues that there are three potential fields for innovation under the specific targets of the sustainable development goals: integration of biodiversity with other spheres, ecosystem-based management, and remote sensing. Next, it argues that innovation is likely because the biodiversity governance system has developed localized centers for developing innovation with a system for transferring those findings across scales. It focuses specifically on the importance of the National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans developed under the Convention on Biological Diversity, the expert systems developed at the international level, and the ability of international organizations to implement innovative approaches to biodiversity governance. The conclusion is that there is a high potential for innovation, but that taking action after the Aichi biodiversity targets end in 2020 will be key.

Pemerintah Indonesia telah menargetkan 32,5 juta hektar kawasan konservasi atau 10% dari luas perairan Indonesia pada tahun 2030 yang merupakan kontribusi untuk komitmen global Sustainable Development Goal dan Convention on Biological Diversity. Pada awal pembentukan, kawasan konservasi tersebut lebih ditujukan kepada perlindungan biodiversitas, namun seiring dengan waktu dirasa perlu untuk kawasan konservasi dapat mendukung keberlanjutan sumber daya ikan sesuai dengan amanat Undang-Undang Perikanan. Riset ini dilakukan untuk mengkaji luasan dan sebaran kawasan konservasi di Indonesia, serta mengkaji target konservasi, berkenaan dengan fungsinya dalam mendukung pengelolaan perikanan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pemerintah Indonesia sudah mengalokasikan 28,08 Juta hektar atau 377 kawasan konservasi, dengan luas 12,9 juta hektar atau sebanyak 64 kawasan konservasi telah ditetapkan oleh menteri. Perlu ada prioritas utama untuk mengembangan kawasan konservasi di Wilayah Pengelolaan Perikanan Negara Republik Indonesia (WPPNRI) 571 dan 718, dan prioritas berikutnya di WPPNRI 572, 712, 716, dan 717. Selain itu perlu dikembangan indikator dan alat ukur di masing-masing kawasan konservasi terkait ikan ekonomis penting yang merupakan salah satu target konservasi utama dari kawasan konservasi yang ada di Indonesia.
