Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (B) Copenhagen summit,2001; (D) Paris Agreement,2016; (D) Paris Agreement,2016

Explanation

The final key accepts either B, D together or D alone. Paris is clearly a climate agreement: adopted in 2015, it entered into force in 2016. The climate Copenhagen conference was in 2009, not the printed 2001, explaining the alternative acceptance. Cartagena concerns biosafety and Nagoya access/benefit sharing under the biodiversity framework. Both official accepted sets remain available for grading.
