Question

Which sequence correctly represents the institutional and treaty legacies attributed to the Earth Summit?

Options

• Directly produced the CBD; established the CSD; led later to the Kyoto Protocol and Paris Agreement

• Directly produced the CSD; established the Rio Declaration; led later to the Montreal Protocol

• Directly produced the Kyoto Protocol; established the CBD Secretariat; led later to Agenda 21

• Directly produced the Paris Agreement; established the Kyoto Protocol; led later to the CSD

Answer 1

The Earth Summit directly produced the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), established the Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) to monitor implementation of Rio agreements, and led to later agreements like the Kyoto Protocol and Paris Agreement. The Rio Declaration and Agenda 21 were outcome documents, not later products.
