Amongst the following, which one is NOT a goal of the Convention on Biological Diversity?
- To promote the conservation of biodiversity
- The sustainable use of its components
- Fair and equitable sharing of benefits
- Distribution of biological resources
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - Distribution of biological resources
Article 1 of the Convention on Biological Diversity, 1992 sets three objectives: the conservation of biological diversity, the sustainable use of its components, and the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising out of the utilisation of genetic resources. “Distribution of biological resources” is not one of them; the Convention affirms sovereign rights over such resources rather than their distribution.
