2. What is Nayoga Protocol
• The Nagoya Protocol is an international agreement
that establishes a framework for researchers to
access genetic resources and share the benefits from
their use.

3. History of Nayoga Protocol
• It was adopted in Nagoya, Japan in
2010 and went into effect in 2014.
• The protocol has been signed by
over 50 countries, including the UK
and the EU

4. Functions of Nayoga Protocol
Establishing a framework -
The protocol establishes a
framework that allows researchers to access genetic
resources for biotechnology research and development.
Fair sharing of benefits -
The protocol ensures that the
benefits from the use of genetic resources are shared
fairly.

5. Functions of Nayoga Protocol
• Respecting traditional knowledge -
(The
protocol respects the value of traditional
knowledge associated with genetic
resources.)
• Encouraging research -
( The protocol
encourages research that contributes to
the conservation of biodiversity and its
sustainable use.)

6. Nayoga Protocol In India
• The domestic legislation in India for the implementation
of the CBD is the Biological Diversity Act, 2002.
• India signed the Nagoya Protocol in 2011 and ratified it in
October 2012.
• The ratification by India was done at the 11th Conference
of Parties (COP) to the CBD, which was conducted in
Hyderabad.

7. Benfits of Nayoga Protocol
• Helps researchers access genetic
resources for biotechnology
research, development and other
activities, in return for a fair share of
any benefits from their use.

8. Constrains of Nayoga Protocol
• Uncertainty
Uncertainty can prevent companies and local communities
from sharing benefits.
• Limited benefit-sharing
The protocol doesn't apply to genetic resources collected
before it takes effect, and it doesn't apply to biochemicals derived from
genetic resources.
• Pathogens
Some say that pathogens know no borders, and that
obstacles to sharing them can hinder global collaborations to develop
disease countermeasures.
• Inter-ministerial coordination
Some say that the protocol straddles the governance of natural
resources and the monitoring of its use, so that better coordination is
needed to implement it
