ABSTRACT
This chapter introduces the collection in the context of the Kunming Declaration to step up efforts to ensure the fair and equitable benefit sharing from utilising genetic resources, traditional knowledge associated with genetic resources and digital sequence information on genetic resources. The chapter concludes that at a time of new impetus in the CBD and Nagoya Protocol forums looking to the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework this is an opportune time to identify and speculate about some of these intractable issues. These are some of the issues addressed by this collection.
