Match List –I with List –II.

List – I (International Meetings)	List – II (Key Objectives)
A. Kyoto Protocol	I. Global Warming
B. Montreal Protocol	II. Biodiversity Conservation
C. Rio Summit	III. Ozone Depletion
D. Paris Agreement	IV. Solar Alliance

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Correct option is A

The correct matches are:
· A-I: The Kyoto Protocol focuses on addressing global warming by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and setting binding targets for developed countries.
· B-III: The Montreal Protocol aims to combat ozone depletion by phasing out the production and consumption of substances that harm the ozone layer, such as CFCs.
· C-II: The Rio Summit (Earth Summit, 1992) focused on biodiversity conservation and sustainable development, leading to the adoption of key agreements like the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).
· D-IV: The Paris Agreement is an international treaty within the UNFCCC to combat climate change, but the Solar Alliance was introduced to support the deployment of solar energy in developing countries and is linked to this broader climate goal.
Information booster:
1. The Kyoto Protocol (1997) was the first international treaty to legally bind countries to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.
2. The Montreal Protocol (1987) is considered one of the most successful environmental agreements, aimed at protecting the ozone layer.
3. The Rio Summit (1992) was a landmark conference on sustainable development, with biodiversity conservation being a major focus.
4. The Paris Agreement (2015) aims to limit global warming to well below 2°C, preferably to 1.5°C, compared to pre-industrial levels.
