Question
Which of the following statement is true about the concept of "common but differentiated responsibilities"?
Options
The Rio Summit held in June 1992 produced conventions dealing with climate change, biodiversity, and forestry and recommended a list of developed practices called Agenda 21.
The 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climatic Change (UNFCCC) also emphasized that the parties should act to protect the climate system on the basis of, common but differentiated responsibilities.
An international agreement known as its Protocol set targets for industrialized countries to cut their greenhouse gas emissions which support global warming.
All the above
Solution
All the above
Explanation:
Common but distinct responsibilities imply that states must work together in the spirit of global partnership to conserve, protect, and restore the health and integrity of the earth's ecosystem. Because states bear joint but distinct responsibility for various contributions to global environmental degradation. Because of the pressures their societies place on the global environment and the technological and financial resources they command, developed countries recognize the responsibility they bear in the international pursuit of sustainable development. We could put the idea into action using conventions and declarations:
- The Rio Summit in June 1992 produced conventions on climate change, biodiversity, and forestry, as well as a list of developed, practices known as Agenda 21.
- The 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) also emphasized the importance of the parties acting to protect the climate system on the basis of shared but differentiated responsibilities.
- An international agreement known as the Kyoto Protocol established targets for industrialized countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming.
