Convention on Biological Diversity
The Convention’s objectives are:
- the conservation of the world’s biological diversity
- to promote the sustainable use of the components of biological diversity
- to provide for the fair and equitable sharing of benefits from the utilisation of genetic resources, including providing appropriate access to genetic resources and the appropriate transfer of relevant technologies taking into account all rights over those resources and technologies, and by appropriate funding (UNEP 1994).
The EPBC Act is the primary legislative instrument for implementing the Convention on Biological Diversity in Australia.
