Brill - Unraveling the Nagoya Protocol Commentary Book

Unraveling the Nagoya Protocol provides a detailed commentary on the international environmental agreement regarding access and benefit-sharing. This volume, part of the Legal Studies on Access and Benefit-sharing series, examines how the protocol impacts environmental sustainability, sustainable development, and equity. Because the Nagoya Protocol affects a wide range of research, development, and commercial activities, this book explores its relevance across multiple legal sectors. It addresses connections to international law, including human rights, intellectual property rights, health, food, and oceans. The text identifies textual, contextual, and systemic interpretative questions to suggest solutions that aim for a coherent and balanced meaning within the framework of the Convention on Biological Diversity.
