LOOKING CLOSER…
• THE ACCESS AND BENEFIT SHARING PROTOCOL
– Almost 10 yeas of discussions, meetings and negotiations
– Regulate the access to genetic resources and the fair and
equitable sharing of the benefits arising of their utilizations (3rd
objective of CBD, Art. 15)
– Incentive for conservation
and sustainable use

LOOKING CLOSER…
• THE STRATEGIC PLAN 2011-2020
– Many months of consultations before Nagoya
– Fine-tuning the wording of the targets and missions
– Challenging discussions – until the last minutes
– The adopted plan provides a flexible framework (to be adapted
at regional, national and sub-national levels) to integrate
biodiversity into all sectors and make parties accountable for its
implementation and thus it is an ultimate success
