About this project
Description
The project will strengthen the implementation of and compliance with the NP offering greater legal certainty and transparency for GR suppliers and users by providing elements for the creation of a national legal framework that promotes and fosters prior informed consent to access and use GR and associated traditional knowledge, while strengthening the opportunities for fair and equitable sharing of profits arising from their utilization, based on mutually agreed conditions. The above will favor developing incentives for conservation of biological diversity and sustainable use of its components; promoting sustainable development and will contribute with the efforts by the international community to stop the loss of biodiversity and avoid misappropriation of GR and associated TK.
Objectives
Enhance in Mexico in a participatory manner, the capacities of national authorities (SRE, SEMARNAT, SAGARPA, CDI, SE), as well as the legal and institutional framework in relation to genetic resources, associated traditional knowledge and benefit-sharing, according to institutional conditions for the implementation of the “Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising From their Utilization to the Convention on Biological diversity” (NP).
