Abstract

The 10th Conference of Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, COP10, was held in Nagoya, Japan, in October, 2010. At the conference, the three main theme were discussed: <BR>1.Conservation of biological diversity <BR>2.Fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from genetic resources (Access and Benefit Sharing) <BR>3.Biosafety of genetic modified organisms. <BR>As the results of the COP10, the following three agreements were adopted in correspondence to each of the three themes mentioned above: <BR>1. The Aichi Target <BR>2. The Nagoya Protocol <BR>3. The Nagoya-Kuala Lumpur Supplementary Protocol<BR>Especially, the Aichi Target provides the direct goals until 2020 for conservation of biological diversity, which has important meaning for ecologists. In Japan, we have enacted the National Strategy for the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Biological Diversity 2012-2020, in order to achieve the Aichi Target. On the other hand, although ABS has been the greatest concern in CBD-COP, preparing of legal systems corresponding to the Nagoya Protocol have been delayed not only in Japan but also in the world. Further promotion and education of the significance of biological diversity should be the main subject for every country.
