Discussion
Consider the following statements :
1. The Nagoya Protocol was adopted in 2010 with the objective of ensuring access to genetic resources and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from their use.
2. After the ratification of the Nagoya Protocol, the National Biodiversity Authority (NBA) was established in India to fulfil the obligations of the Protocol.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct ?
Answer: A
Only statement 1 is correct, so the answer is 1 only.
The Nagoya Protocol on Access and Benefit-sharing was adopted in October 2010 at the tenth Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, and entered into force in 2014. Its aim is access to genetic resources and fair and equitable sharing of the benefits from their use.
Statement 2 has the order reversed. India's National Biodiversity Authority was established in 2003 under the Biological Diversity Act, 2002, which implemented the Convention on Biological Diversity, years before the Nagoya Protocol existed.
