Which protocol was adopted in order to ensure an adequate level of protection in the field of safe transfer handling and use of living modified organisms ?
Cartagena Protocol
The Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety to the Convention on Biological Diversity was adopted in Montreal on 29 January 2000 and entered into force on 11 September 2003. Article 1 states its objective as ensuring an adequate level of protection in the field of the safe transfer, handling and use of living modified organisms (LMOs) resulting from modern biotechnology, focusing on transboundary movements, through the Advance Informed Agreement procedure.
The Nagoya Protocol (2010) deals with access to genetic resources and fair and equitable sharing of benefits; the Kyoto Protocol (1997) sets greenhouse-gas emission targets under the UNFCCC; and the Nairobi text relates to the Final Act adopting the CBD in 1992, not to LMOs.
Hence, the answer is Cartagena Protocol.
