FNI FOCAL POINTS OF
RESEARCH
Biodiversity and
Biosafety
FNI research focuses on international
efforts to ensure conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and fair
distribution of benefits from genetic resources. Interaction with trade
agreements and intellectual property rights is
central.
International environmental agreements on biological
diversity seek to ensure the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity
and a fair distribution of benefits derived from genetic resources. FNI
research is aimed at international processes with ramifications for these
objectives, including interaction with international agreements on trade and
agriculture. Central to this work is the interaction between regimes for access
& benefit-sharing (ABS) from use of genetic resources and legislation on
intellectual property rights to biological material.
Research is carried
out with regard to the management of wild as well as domesticated genetic
resources in agriculture and aquaculture. A central topic here is farmers
rights pertaining to plant genetic resources for food and
agriculture.
Other central topics include the science-policy debate in
the management and protection of forest biodiversity, in evolving regulations
on GMO and invasive alien species, and in the Norwegian approach to marine
resources and bioprospecting (the use of genetic resources as raw materials for
research and development).
International forest politics, forest
management and certification (ecolabelling) is another key topic of FNI's
research within biological diversity. In these studies FNI emphasises the role
of the corporate sector, such as the forest and biotechnology
industries.
