Discussion
An agreement was executed in the Kyoto Protocol, in which industrialized countries agreed to reduce carbon emissions by ______ percent by 2008-2012 as of 1990 levels.
Answer: C
The agreed reduction was 5.2 percent.
Under the Kyoto Protocol of 1997, the industrialised countries listed in Annex B agreed to cut their combined greenhouse gas emissions by an average of about 5.2 per cent below 1990 levels during the first commitment period, 2008 to 2012.
3.2, 4.2 and 6.2 per cent are close figures used as distractors. Developing countries such as India had no binding targets under the Protocol, in line with the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities.
