Info!


The color displayed on the map indicates how the country has assessed progress towards their national targets associated with the Aichi Biodiversity Targets. Where a country has more than one national target associated with an Aichi Biodiversity Target, the average of these assessments is used to generate the overall level of progress achieved towards the Aichi Biodiversity Target. This average value considers mapping to the “Main related Aichi Biodiversity Target” only. For the complete details on how a country has assessed progress towards its national targets, please see the sixth national report of the country.

The information presented in the pie chart and map above is drawn from the sixth national reports that have been submitted using the online reporting tool. Data from the sixth national reports that have been submitted “offline” in PDF are not integrated (the offline reports can be accessed at https://www.cbd.int/reports/).

Implementation Measures and Outcomes

Title
India — Ratified in October 2012, the Nagoya Protocol will be implemented through domestic legislation on ABS (Biological Diversity Act) adopted in 2002. (NBSAP)
Netherlands — The Government is supporting a Green Deal to apply the international ABS agreements. Through a pilot project, businesses from the Dutch breeding sector, knowledge institutions and Government will set up cooperation with similar parties from a developing country that could provide genetic resources. By the end of 2014, it was anticipated that this would result in an agreement on access to genetic resources and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the use of relevant genetic material, and serve as a model for future ABS agreements. (NBSAP)
Rwanda — National Target 15 of NBSAP (2016) is mapped to ABT16. Rwanda become a Party to the Nagoya Protocol on ABS in 2014. By 2017, the country aimed to have integrated the Protocol in national legislation and administrative practices and enforced implementation. Six actions are defined for this target; and associated to 2020 implementation indicators that include: legal and administrative tools for the implementation of Nagoya Protocol; number of access permits; number of benefit-sharing agreements; number of awareness and training workshops; number of socio-economic infrastructures and income-generating projects initiated through revenue-sharing around protected areas; number of people compensated for damages caused by wildlife; number of socio-economic infrastructures constructed; and the volume of revenue shared per protected area. (NBSAP)
Indonesia — National Target 16 of NBSAP 2015-2020 is mapped to ABT16. The Ministry of Environment and Forestry is responsible for carrying out activities to develop relevant legislation and organize implementation mechanisms at central and local levels. Indonesia became a Party to the Protocol in 2014. It is expected that the country’s ‘biodiversity park program’ will enhance its bargaining position in access and benefit-sharing processes. An important function of biodiversity parks relates to biodiversity research and development, including biotechnology development. (NBSAP)
Albania — The revised NBSAP adopted in 2016 contains a national objective mapped to ABT16. Albania became a Party to the Nagoya Protocol on ABS in 2014 and was the first country in the central European region to ratify the Protocol. By 2020, it is anticipated that knowledge on the concept of access and benefit-sharing and dissemination of related information will have been increased. By 2015, it was anticipated that the Protocol would be operational and aligned with national legislation. Possible measures to be carried out towards this end were: introduction or revision of relevant national legislation; collection and evaluation of information on forests, biological resources and their sustainable use; development of standard development models for the exchange of benefits derived from genetic resources; and definition of biological species subject to export permits. (NBSAP)
Belize — National Target D2 of NBSAP 2016-2020 is mapped to ABT16 and ABT18. NBSAP 2016-2020 is a five-year plan set within a fifteen-year framework, aligned with the Horizon 2030 national development framework and its third-phase strategy endorsed in 2015. National Target D2 aims to, by 2025, regulate access to genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge and share benefits arising from utilization in a fair and equitable manner. Activities are planned to develop a national legislative framework for bioprospecting that defines mandates, roles and responsibilities for management of genetic resources, and determine within the 2016-2017 timeframe whether Belize will sign the Nagoya Protocol (and if so, align the national framework accordingly). (NBSAP)
Belgium — Strategic Objective 6 of the National Biodiversity Strategy adopted in 2013 is mapped to ABT16 and seeks to promote and contribute to equitable access to and sharing of benefits arising from the use of genetic resources (ABS). This strategic objective contains 5 operational objectives which respectively aim to: by 2014, have raised awareness about the concept of ABS in the context of the CBD and the Nagoya Protocol, and widely disseminated information on ABS; by 2014, have ratified and implemented the Nagoya Protocol; by 2020, have mechanisms in place to enhance national and global cooperation on ABS issues; by 2020, create operational mechanisms to protect the knowledge, innovations and practices of indigenous and local communities embodying traditional lifestyles relevant to the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity; and, by 2015, have a functional ABS Clearing-House in place. (NBSAP) (Belgium became a Party to the Nagoya Protocol in 2016.)
Ethiopia — The country became a Party to the Nagoya Protocol on ABS in 2014. The number of genetic materials accessed for research and development, and fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from their use, has increased. However, the diversity and quality of genetic resources for sustainable utilization should be improved. Similarly, control over illegal movement of genetic resources needs to be strengthened. The number of bio-prospected species for ABS has increased to 18 species. Nine ABS agreements have been signed on five species (Bidens macroptera, Moringa stenopetala, Aloe species, Eucalyptus species and Rhizobium bacteria (rhizobial bio-fertilizer). Seven routes of illegal movements of genetic resources in the country have been identified and 10 ABS experts assigned to regulate the unauthorized movement of genetic resources at entry and exit windows. (6NR)
Czech Republic — The country became a Party to the Nagoya Protocol on ABS in 2016. In 2018, the country adopted the Act on Conditions of Utilization of Genetic Resources under the Nagoya Protocol, further to EU Regulation No. 511 (April 2014) of the European Parliament and Council on compliance measures for users from the Nagoya Protocol on ABS in the European Union (aligning EU rules with international obligations). The European Union ratified the Nagoya Protocol on ABS in May 2014. (6NR)
Dominican Republic — The country became a Party to the Nagoya Protocol on ABS in 2015. The country has developed national policy (2018) and a national regulation (2017) on ABS. Work is currently underway to establish a regulatory framework for genetic resources. The country also intends to develop an inventory on traditional knowledge. Research on genetic diversity is being strengthened through the National Fund for Innovation and Scientific and Technological Development of the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology, and encompasses projects on bioprospecting. A practical guide for the application of the regulation on access to genetic resources, associated Traditional Knowledge and fair and equitable distribution of benefits was prepared in 2018. Capacity-building activities aimed at local communities are being implemented. The country is also promoting the ratification of the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA) to which it is currently a signatory. (6NR)
Germany — The country became a Party to the Nagoya Protocol on ABS in 2016. Germany has adopted national legislation for implementing the Protocol and is also actively participating in the development of implementing legislation at the EU level. Germany has also provided support to other countries in regard to establishing and/or increasing the effectiveness of national ABS structures. Germany has been a Party to the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA) since 2004 and has made more than 115,000 accessions of plant genetic resources available in the ITPGRFA multilateral system. (6NR)
Republic of Korea — The country became a Party to the Nagoya Protocol on ABS in 2017 and adopted the National Act on Access and Benefit Sharing of Genetic Resources the same year. There are plans to revise this Act at an unspecified time. Competent National Authorities (persons authorized to grant users access to genetic resources and represent providers on a local or national level) and checkpoints (persons authorized to collect or receive information provided by users on the use of genetic resources) have been designated. An Integrated Reporting Service for Genetic Resources has been launched. The registration of genetic resources for national management and the designation of biological resources subject to out-of-the-country transportation permit has expanded. The Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT) has published and distributed guidelines for researchers, including the ABS Guide and ABS Brief. (6NR)
