Albania’s Path to Strengthening Access and Benefit-Sharing (ABS)

About this project

Nagoya Protocol on Access and Benefit-Sharing (NP) in 2013 , therefore, is Party of the Protocol since the entry into force (accession) on 12 October 2014. Albania has taken steps to regulate ABS through national legislation, however, gaps persist in implementation, particularly in establishing strong compliance mechanisms, integrating ABS into research and commercial sectors, and ensuring equitable benefit-sharing with local communities. While the ongoing project “Enhancing Albanias Biodiversity and Forest Management Frameworks” is actively working on aligning national legislation with the Nagoya Protocol and EU Regulation No. 511/2014, this new project proposal will build on those efforts by implementing actions that go past legal compliance, to ensure effective and sustainable ABS implementation in the country.
