Back to presentations: Nagoya Protocol and plant collection responsibilities

China’s role focuses on ensuring that Kew staff comply with the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources, as well as the national laws of our partner countries. This involves supporting Kew staff preparing for overseas collecting trips, developing legal agreements with partners, and making sure that policies in all research areas ensure that we are using material legally. In addition China represents Kew at national and international meetings and work with the UK government so that Kew’s breadth of science knowledge is used to guide policy decisions. China develops and deliver a range of policy training modules for Kew staff, partners, others in the non-commercial research sector, graduate and post graduate level.
