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 12th, 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 12th 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.

생물다양성은 ‘생태계 서비스’를 통해 기후변화의 ‘완화(mitigation)’과 ‘적응(adaptation)’에 중요한 기여를 하고 있다. 또한, 기후변화 와 생물다양성은 상호 밀접하게 연결되어 있는바, 기후변화는 생물다양성에 영향을 미치고, 생물다양성도 기후변화에 영향을 주는 것으로 보고 되고 있다. 생물다양성의 보전에 관한 포괄적 국제환경규범인 ‘생물다양성협약’에서는 생물다양성과 기후변화에 관한 많은 결정문을 채택하여 왔으며, 2001년부터 ‘생물다양성과 기후변화에 관한 특별기술전문가그룹’을 설치․운영하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 해양산성화(ocean acidification), 해양시비(ocean fertilization), 바이오연료 등 최근 생물다양성협약 당사국회의에서의 기후변화 관련 논의동향을 분석하고, 향후 우리나라의 대응방향을 고찰해 보았다.
