Thanks to recent advances in instrumentation, metal abundances now can be measured routinely for PNe situated in galaxies beyond the Magellanic Clouds. Consequently, PNe are becoming a valuable tool for studying the chemical evolution of external galaxies, especially those which are not forming stars. Here we review problems and progress in this exciting nascent field of interdisciplinary research.
