Transcript of Distributing the Benefits of Nature's Bounty: A Social Justice Perspective
![Page 1: Distributing the Benefits of Nature's Bounty: A Social Justice Perspective](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/559cf35d1a28ab56348b45d6/html5/thumbnails/1.jpg)
Distributing Benefits:
A Timeless Challenge
Services and raw materials from natural
heritage scarce
Prone to shifts in social and cultural norms
Common pool resources require some special
attention
Lots of issues
![Page 2: Distributing the Benefits of Nature's Bounty: A Social Justice Perspective](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/559cf35d1a28ab56348b45d6/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Why Benefit Distribution is Challenging
Global debate about conservation
Growing population with changing
consumption patterns
Global level processes stress natural heritage
Political and moral ideologies in flux
Knowledge is expanding
![Page 3: Distributing the Benefits of Nature's Bounty: A Social Justice Perspective](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/559cf35d1a28ab56348b45d6/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Community Level
Access is important for vulnerable populations
Dependency on access to natural resources
![Page 4: Distributing the Benefits of Nature's Bounty: A Social Justice Perspective](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/559cf35d1a28ab56348b45d6/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Access to Nature’s Bounty
It is a matter of justice or fair treatment
![Page 5: Distributing the Benefits of Nature's Bounty: A Social Justice Perspective](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/559cf35d1a28ab56348b45d6/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Framing the Challenge
Framing natural resource problems is difficult
Wicked and messy character
Scientific disagreement on cause-effect
relationships
Lack of social agreement on goals
Inter-connected problems
Can’t solve one problem without affecting others
Don’t solve problems, but resolve them
![Page 6: Distributing the Benefits of Nature's Bounty: A Social Justice Perspective](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/559cf35d1a28ab56348b45d6/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Benefit Sharing and Benefit Distribution:
Different Decisions, Similar Questions
Literature often unclear
Convention on Biological Diversity unclear on
what it means
Moral approach sees sharing as an act of
beneficence
Policy arena sees sharing as a non-voluntary
act
![Page 7: Distributing the Benefits of Nature's Bounty: A Social Justice Perspective](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/559cf35d1a28ab56348b45d6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
How terms will be used in this presentation
Benefit sharing – A fair exchange of value
between a willing seller (collective) and
willing buyer
Benefit distribution – apportionment of
benefits received by a collective to members of
that collective
![Page 8: Distributing the Benefits of Nature's Bounty: A Social Justice Perspective](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/559cf35d1a28ab56348b45d6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Social Justice Framing
Social justice – objective is the basic structure
of society … way in which major social
institutions distribute fundamental rights and
duties … – Rawls 1971
Institutions lose their legitimacy when
decisions are not just in the eyes of citizens
and residents
![Page 9: Distributing the Benefits of Nature's Bounty: A Social Justice Perspective](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/559cf35d1a28ab56348b45d6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Three Types of JusticeUnderpin Benefit Sharing and Distribution
Commutative – fair exchange of value
Distributive – apportionment of benefits and
burdens
Procedural – the rules by which society makes
decisions
![Page 10: Distributing the Benefits of Nature's Bounty: A Social Justice Perspective](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/559cf35d1a28ab56348b45d6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Commutative Justice
Seeking a fair exchange – trades of equivalent
value
The heart of benefit sharing
Implemented through
Prior informed consent
Mutually agreed terms
Policy
![Page 11: Distributing the Benefits of Nature's Bounty: A Social Justice Perspective](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/559cf35d1a28ab56348b45d6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Distributive Justice
How benefits and burdens are apportioned to
members of a collective
The focus of benefit distribution
Implemented through policy decisions
Goal is fairness
But what is fair?
![Page 12: Distributing the Benefits of Nature's Bounty: A Social Justice Perspective](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/559cf35d1a28ab56348b45d6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Procedural Justice
The rules by which society makes decisions
Underlies both distributive and commutative justice
Implemented through good governance principles, e.g.
Transparency
Inclusiveness
Responsibility
Accountability
![Page 13: Distributing the Benefits of Nature's Bounty: A Social Justice Perspective](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/559cf35d1a28ab56348b45d6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Major Benefit Distribution Decisions
1. Current members or future members
2. Community or individual (household) scale
3. Goals of distribution
4. Capacity to make decisions
![Page 15: Distributing the Benefits of Nature's Bounty: A Social Justice Perspective](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/559cf35d1a28ab56348b45d6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
1. Benefits distributed to current
or future members
Provision of opportunities
An issue of intergenerational equity
![Page 16: Distributing the Benefits of Nature's Bounty: A Social Justice Perspective](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/559cf35d1a28ab56348b45d6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
2. Community or individual scale
Community scale – basic services needed by
all members
Clinic, school, library, police, fire
Individual scale – individuals decide what to
do with benefits
Raise income
People spend income on their
sense of need
![Page 17: Distributing the Benefits of Nature's Bounty: A Social Justice Perspective](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/559cf35d1a28ab56348b45d6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
3. Determining Distributive Justice Goals
Equality – every member receives the same
apportionment
Treats everyone the same regardless of
circumstances
![Page 18: Distributing the Benefits of Nature's Bounty: A Social Justice Perspective](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/559cf35d1a28ab56348b45d6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
3. Determining Distributive Justice Goals
Equity – benefits apportioned according to
merit or some other measure
Favors those who engage collective activities or
who hold promise for improving collective quality
of life
![Page 19: Distributing the Benefits of Nature's Bounty: A Social Justice Perspective](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/559cf35d1a28ab56348b45d6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
3. Determining Distributive Justice Goals
Need – benefits apportioned to those most
vulnerable
Poor
Sick
Dependency
![Page 20: Distributing the Benefits of Nature's Bounty: A Social Justice Perspective](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/559cf35d1a28ab56348b45d6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
4. What Governance Capacities are
Needed
Decision making – identifying who should get
what amount from whom
Focus on procedural justice
Understanding consequences
Explicitness in policy development
Administration – good business practices
Accounting
Paper trails
Audits
![Page 21: Distributing the Benefits of Nature's Bounty: A Social Justice Perspective](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/559cf35d1a28ab56348b45d6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Lessons Learned
Ambiguous definitions of benefit sharing and
distribution stifle research and thwart effective
social discourse, creating confusion and
conflict
![Page 22: Distributing the Benefits of Nature's Bounty: A Social Justice Perspective](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/559cf35d1a28ab56348b45d6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Lessons Learned
Any benefit distribution mechanism will
discriminate against some group
What is fair?
![Page 23: Distributing the Benefits of Nature's Bounty: A Social Justice Perspective](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/559cf35d1a28ab56348b45d6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Lessons Learned
What is “fair” is highly situational specific,
often contested, and depends on the interest
dominating discourse
![Page 24: Distributing the Benefits of Nature's Bounty: A Social Justice Perspective](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/559cf35d1a28ab56348b45d6/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Lessons Learned
Building capacity to negotiate is critical to
creating opportunities for commutative justice.
![Page 25: Distributing the Benefits of Nature's Bounty: A Social Justice Perspective](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/559cf35d1a28ab56348b45d6/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Lessons Learned
Building capacity to decide is critical to
distributive justice
![Page 26: Distributing the Benefits of Nature's Bounty: A Social Justice Perspective](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/559cf35d1a28ab56348b45d6/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Lessons Learned
How benefits are created remains an important
question for science and policy and needs
debate for progress to be made
![Page 27: Distributing the Benefits of Nature's Bounty: A Social Justice Perspective](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/559cf35d1a28ab56348b45d6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Conclusions
Benefit distribution occurs within a complex
social-ecological system defying simplistic
solutions
Research can help policy understand choices
and consequences
Using a social justice perspective clarifies
goals and processes used in benefit distribution
policy

Convention on Biological Diversity
Third objective:
“the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits
arising out of the utilization of genetic resources …”
Bonn Guidelines
Nagoya Protocol
Requires that “benefits arising from the utilization of
genetic resources … shall be shared in a fair and
equitable way with the Party providing such
resources …”
