United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
Article 15 - The Department for International Development (DFID) Common Policy
Guidelines project, involvement in the Expert Panel and contributions to
forthcoming Bonn Workshop on access and benefit sharing (ABS) are all examples
of how UK stakeholders contribute to work with other stakeholders worldwide to
develop guidelines and practices.So, too, is the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew's work to establish ABS agreements with
its partners worldwide—documents from their work may be found at www.rbgkew.org.uk/conservation Article 16 - A large proportion of the natural resources projects in the UK aid
program with developing countries involve technology transfer as do many of the
Darwin Initiative projects. One example is a project helping St. Helena develop
appropriate methods for propagating their rare, endemic plants (undertaken by
Royal Botanic Garden Kew and funded by the Department for International
Development) has technology transfer at its heart. Article 19 - No legislation. (Updated May 2001)
