Which are the major objectives of Kyoto protocol?
(i) to achieve stabilisation in Greenhouse gas concentration
(ii) to control persistent organic pollutants
(iii) to reduce ozone depletion
(iv) to ensure that food production is not threatened
Answer: B
The major objectives are (i) and (iv), so the answer is Only (i) and (iv).
The Kyoto Protocol of 1997 operationalised the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, whose ultimate objective is to stabilise greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that prevents dangerous interference with the climate, within a time-frame that lets ecosystems adapt naturally, ensures that food production is not threatened and allows sustainable economic development.
The other two belong to other treaties. Persistent organic pollutants are controlled by the Stockholm Convention (2001), and ozone depletion by the Vienna Convention and the Montreal Protocol (1987). Options containing (ii) or (iii) are therefore wrong.
