Community Protocols also have a range of broader benefits in a number
of policy areas including biodiversity, natural resource management,
climate change, human rights, planning and development in a community.
Protocols are an emerging concept in environmental law and policy. The
term “community protocols” was introduced into the text of the Nagoya
Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable
Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilization to the Convention on
Biological Diversity (Nagoya Protocol) as a measure for implementing
some of its provisions, as proposed by the African Group of negotiators,
and is closely linked to the work of the Convention on Biological Diversity
(CBD).
