Correct option is B
The Copenhagen Accord on climate change is not a binding treaty. The Accord was agreed upon at the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP15) in Copenhagen. While it set forth important political commitments by countries, it did not establish legally binding targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Information Booster:
The Copenhagen Accord was a significant step in global climate negotiations, although its non-binding nature led to criticism. It laid the groundwork for future agreements, including the Paris Agreement, which is legally binding.
Additional Knowledge:
· Binding treaty: Would involve legal obligations, which the Copenhagen Accord lacks.
· Declaration of General Assembly: Incorrect as the Accord was part of COP15, not a UNGA declaration.
· Optional protocol: Refers to treaties that provide additional provisions to an existing treaty, not applicable here.
