Abstract
The Nagoya Protocol on Access and Benefit-Sharing was adopted to help clarify the existing provisions regarding access to biological resources in the Convention on Biological Diversity. India’s domestic access and benefit-sharing (ABS) mechanism leaves much to be desired in terms of legislative design and with regard to its adherence to the environmental principles of public participation and equity. This article highlights the emerging legal issues pertaining to these aspects of ABS under India’s Biodiversity Act. Its discussion makes a case for revamping the legislative and institutional framework for effective ABS in India.
