International vergleichende Analyse und Bewertung der Konzepte zur GVO-Risikoanalyse

GeneRisk

Part of the book series: Umweltnatur- & Umweltsozialwissenschaften ((UMWELTNATUR))

Zusammenfassung

Im internationalen Zusammenhang werden Fragen des Umgangs mit GVO vielfältig diskutiert. Eine besondere Rolle spielt dabei die Wahrung der Entscheidungsfreiheit und Souveränität der Staaten, dieses Thema für ihr jeweiliges Territorium zu regeln. Einen wesentlichen Inhalt bildet die Entwicklung von Regeln und Normen für den Umgang mit dem Handel, der grenzüberschreitenden Verbringung von GVO und der biologischen Sicherheit. Standards hierzu formuliert das internationale Abkommen über Biologische Sicherheit (Cartagena-Protocol on Biosafety1). Dieses Abkommen wurde im Rahmen der Biodiversitätskonvention etabliert (Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD); http://www.cbd.int). Beide Konventionen werden im Rahmen regelmäßiger Konferenzen weiter entwickelt. Seitens des GeneRisk-Projekts wurden Aspekte zur Ausarbeitung des systemischen Charakters von GVO-Risiken in einer Begleitveranstaltung zur letzten Tagung der Mitglieder des Cartagena Protokolls in Nagoya (Japan) in einer Begleitveranstaltung zur sozialen Nachhaltigkeit und biologischen Sicherheit präsentiert (Breckling 2010).
