Q55.
Consider the following pairs: Terms sometimes seen in the news - Their origin 1. Annex-I Countries : Cartagena Protocol 2. Certified Emissions Reductions : Nagoya Protocol 3. Clean Development Mechanisms : Kyoto Protocol Which of the pairs given above is/are correctly matched?
Answer
C
Explanation
The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), created multilaterally under the UNFCCC is one of the mitigation instruments under the Kyoto Protocol. CDM allows a country with an emission-reduction commitment under the Kyoto Protocol (Annex B Party) to implement an emission-reduction project in developing countries. Such projects can earn saleable Certified Emission Reduction (CER) credits. Annex-I countries are parties to the Kyoto Protocol (not Cartagena Protocol). Certified Emissions Reductions are related to the Kyoto Protocol/CDM (not Nagoya Protocol). Hence only pair 3 is correctly matched.
