Recent launch of CBD Access and Benefit-Sharing Clearing-House
DIVERSITAS contributes to this information sharing effort
Article 14 of the Nagoya Protocol establishes the Access and Benefit-Sharing Clearing-House (ABS-CH) and includes an obligation to Parties to make certain types of information available through the ABS-CH.
Parties will be expected to provide and update the information required under the Protocol and this will be the primary task of the information-exchange system.
The ABS Clearing-House in currently in its pilot phase and DIVERSITAS and its partners shared the documents that were produced in the ABS in LAC project on this information platform (see here).
