The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) strives for the
sustainable and equitable utilization of genetic resources, with
the ultimate goal of conserving biodiversity. The CBD and the
Nagoya Protocol which has since been elaborated suggest a bilateral
model for access to genetic resources and the sharing of benefits
from their utilization. There is concern that the bilateral
exchange "genetic resource for benefit sharing" could have
disappointing results because providers are left out of the process
of research and development, benefits are difficult to be traced to
sources, and providers owning the same resource may complain of
being excluded from benefit sharing. Thus, the CBD objective of
full utilization and equitability may become flawed. Common Pools
of Genetic Resources: Equity and Innovation in International
Biodiversity Law suggests common pools as a complementary approach
to bilateralism. This is one of the first books to reply to a
number of complex legal questions related to the interpretation and
implementation of the Nagoya Protocol. Taking an inductive
approach, it describes existing pools and analyzes how they are
organized and how they perform in terms of joint R&D and
benefit sharing. It presents case studies of the most
characteristic types of common pools, provides suggestions for
further developing existing pools to cope with the requirements of
the CBD and NP and, at the same time uses the clauses these
conventions contain to open up for commons approaches. Written by a
team of expert academics and practitioners in the field, this
innovative book makes a timely and valuable contribution to
academic and policy debates in international environmental law,
international biodiversity law, intellectual property law, climate
law and the law of indigenous populations.
