On 29 November 2021, the new Biosafety Clearing-House (BCH) platform was
launched. The BCH is a mechanism established in Article 20 of the
Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety to facilitate the exchange of
information on living modified organisms (LMOs) and to assist Parties in
complying with their obligations under the Protocol. The BCH functions
as a central information marketplace where the providers and users
interact and exchange information on biosafety.

All interested users can freely search and retrieve information through
the BCH website. The Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety is a supplementary
agreement to the Convention on Biological Diversity that provides
international rules that seek to ensure an adequate level of protection
to biodiversity and human health, focusing on transboundary movements of
LMOs.
