Which of the following is/are not associated with the reduction of Greenhouse gases ?
(i) Kigali Amendment to Montreal Protocol
(ii) Stockholm convention
(iii) Kyoto Protocol
Select the correct answer using the code given below :
Answer: A
Only the Stockholm convention is not about greenhouse gases, so the answer is (ii) only.
The Stockholm Convention (2001) deals with persistent organic pollutants, toxic chemicals such as DDT, PCBs and dioxins, not with climate change.
The other two are greenhouse-gas agreements. The Kigali Amendment (2016) to the Montreal Protocol phases down hydrofluorocarbons, which are powerful greenhouse gases, and the Kyoto Protocol (1997) set binding emission targets for developed countries. So any option naming (i) or (iii) is wrong.
