Abstract

In June 1992, Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) was concluded by 158 countries in Rio de Janeiro. And now, 194 member nations are participating in discussions for their own profit. Recently, Nagoya Protocol regarding Access to genetic resources and Benefit-Sharing (ABS) was approved and took effect from October $12^{th}$, 2014. Thus, it is important to understand the impact of CBD and ABS functioning on researchers studying marine biodiversity. Until now, in the previous Conference of the parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, the interest towards researching marine and marine living resources was relatively low, and accordingly, the discussions regarding marine and marine living resources were delayed. However, in the $12^{th}$ Pyeongchang Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, the arguments concerning Ecologically or Biologically Significant marine Areas (EBSA) and the other marine related issues were discussed. Although, South Korea has not yet officially joined Nagoya Protocol, however the consultations in regard to Prior and Informed Consent (PIC), Mutually Agreed Terms (MAT) and Global Multilateral Benefit-Sharing Mechanism (GMBSM) were discussed. We belive that as a possessing nation of biological resources, South Korean government authorities should revise their management systems protocol and regulations concerning domestic biological resources, in order to strengthen the information system and help academia and industry to utilize the biological resources abroad easily and effectively.

1992년 6월 브라질 리우데자네이루에서 생물다양성협약(Convention on Biological Diversity, CBD)에 158개국이 서명한 이후, 현재 194개국 당사국들은 자국의 이익을 위해 다양한 형태로 논의에 참여하고 있다. 그리고 생물다양성협약 유전자원에 대한 접근 및 이익 공유(Access to genetic resources and Benefit-Sharing, ABS)를 다룬 나고야의정서가 채택되어 2014년 10월 12일에 발효 되었다. 이러한 상황에서 생물다양성협약 및 나고야의정서 발효가 해양생물다양성을 연구하는 연구자들에게 어떠한 영향을 미칠 것인가는 상당히 중요한 문제이다. 그러나 지난 생물다양성총회에서 해양 및 해양생물자원에 대한 관심은 비교적 적었으며, 이에 따라, 이와 관련된 논의도 늦어졌다. 하지만 이번 제12차 평창 생물다양성총회에서 생물학적 또는 생태학적 중요해역 (Ecologi-cally or Biologically Significant marine Areas, 이하 EBSA) 및 기타 해양관련 문제를 논의하였다. 우리나라는 나고야 의정서에 아직 정식으로 가입하지 않았지만 유전자원 이용 시 사전통보승인(Prior and Informed consent, PIC) 및 상호합의조건 (Mutually Agreed Terms, MAT) 그리고 다자간 이익공유체계 (Global Multilateral Benefit-Sharing Mechanism, GMBSM)를 중심으로 다양한 논의가 이루어졌다. 우리나라는 생물자원 보유국으로서 정부는 국내 생물자원의 관리체계 및 법률을 빠르게 정비하여야 한다. 또한 이용국으로서 학계 및 산업계가 국외의 생물자원을 보다 쉽고 효율적으로 이용하도록 정보체계를 구축할 필요가 있다고 판단된다.
