Global Political Alliances Questions
The United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is an international treaty that aims to promote the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, as well as the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the utilization of genetic resources. It was adopted in 1992 during the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and has been ratified by almost all countries in the world. The CBD provides a framework for countries to develop national strategies and action plans to protect biodiversity, establish protected areas, and regulate access to genetic resources. It also encourages international cooperation and collaboration to address global biodiversity challenges.
