Consider the following statements about Kyoto Protocol which held in Japan in December 1997?

(A) Involved pledges and commitments from different countries to mitigate climate change caused by greenhouse gases and ozone-depleting substances (ODS).

(B) Required all countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 5% below 1990 levels by 2008–2012.

(C) High-fluorinated hydrocarbons (HFCs) are transitional replacements for chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).

(D) Definite road maps were prepared separately for developing and developed nations to reduce emissions of CFCs and other ozone-depleting substances (ODS).

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

The Kyoto Protocol set a target of roughly 5 percent below 1990 levels for the 2008-2012 commitment period, and HFCs were indeed adopted as transitional substitutes for CFCs. Statement (D) describes the Montreal Protocol, which framed the phase-out schedules for ozone-depleting substances, not Kyoto.

Hence (A), (B) and (C).
