Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : Kyoto Protocol

An international agreement linked to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change is Kyoto Protocol.

Kyoto Protocol:

• The 1st Conference of the Parties (COP-1) decided that the aim of Annex I Parties stabilizing their emissions at 1990 levels by the year 2000 was "not adequate", and further discussions at later conferences led to the Kyoto Protocol in 1997.
• The Kyoto Protocol was concluded and established legally binding obligations under international law, for developed countries to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions in the period 2008-2012.
• The 2010 United Nations Climate Change Conference produced an agreement stating that future global warming should be limited to below 2 °C (3.6 °F) relative to the pre-industrial level.
• The Kyoto Protocol had two commitment periods, the first of which lasted from 2008 to 2012.
• The Protocol was amended in 2012 to encompass the second one for the period 2013–2020 in the Doha Amendment.
