Explanation:

The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), a legally binding treaty to conserve biodiversity has been in force since 1993.
It has 3 main objectives

The conservation of biological diversity.
The sustainable use of the components of biological diversity.
The fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising out of the utilization of genetic resources.

The CBD Secretariat is based in Montreal, Canada and it operates under the United Nations Environment Programme.

The CBD at COP-10 also adopted a ten-year framework for action by all countries to save biodiversity.
Officially known as “Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020”, it provided a set of 20 ambitious yet achievable targets collectively known as the Aichi Targets for biodiversity.

Hence both statements 1&3 are correct.
