Q4.
What is the main temperature goal set by the Paris Agreement?
Limit warming to 1.5°C
Limit warming to well below 2°C, preferably 1.5°C
Limit warming to 3°C
Limit warming to below 1°C
Show answer
Answer: B. Limit warming to well below 2°C, preferably 1.5°C
The Paris Agreement aims to limit global temperature increase to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, with efforts to limit it to 1.5°C.
Q5.
Which protocol was the first legally binding international agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions?
Montreal Protocol
Kyoto Protocol
Paris Agreement
Copenhagen Accord
Show answer
Answer: B. Kyoto Protocol
The Kyoto Protocol, adopted in 1997, was the first legally binding international agreement that set emission reduction targets for developed countries.
Q6.

All countries have equal responsibilities
Developed countries have greater responsibility due to historical emissions
Only developing countries are responsible
Responsibilities are based on current emissions only
Show answer
Answer: B. Developed countries have greater responsibility due to historical emissions
CBDR principle recognizes that while all countries share responsibility for addressing climate change, developed countries should take the lead due to their historical contribution to greenhouse gas emissions.

Financial contributions to climate funds
Country-specific emission reduction targets and actions under Paris Agreement
Technology transfer commitments
Adaptation project proposals
Show answer
Answer: B. Country-specific emission reduction targets and actions under Paris Agreement
NDCs are commitments that each country makes under the Paris Agreement outlining their plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate change impacts.
