                Detailed Summary
            

            
The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change has issued a notification, S.O. 1826(E) dated 20th May, 2024, in exercise of powers conferred by sub-section (1) of section 62 read with clauses (e) and (f) of sub-section (2) of section 62 of the Biological Diversity Act, 2002 (18 of 2003), and in supersession of notification S.O. 689(E) dated 4th April, 2011. This new notification introduces the 'Guidelines on Access and Benefit Sharing on Digital Sequence Information on Biological Resources and Associated Traditional Knowledge, 2024.' These guidelines aim to regulate access and benefit sharing concerning Digital Sequence Information (DSI) and associated traditional knowledge, ensuring equitable sharing of benefits arising from their utilization. The prior notification, S.O. 689(E) dated 4th April, 2011, which regulated access and benefit sharing for biological resources and associated traditional knowledge, is now superseded by these comprehensive new guidelines that specifically address DSI.
